Happy Birthday Hero

Most heroes are too good to be true. I like to dress mine in unpredictability. Someone who’s not necessarily safe to be around but always has his loved one’s best interests at heart and will put his head on the chopping block to save them if need be. This reminding you of anyone? 

The same could be said for Jesus. I hope readers make that connection, subconsciously at least. Heroes are not always what we expect them to look like on the outside.

As you swig back the ol' egg nog and stagger around on a sugar high, don't forget to take a moment to remember the hero that the celebration is all about.
