he was just a normal man

i am posting for yesterday..today..cause i didnt have time to post one yesterday.....yesterday the crocodile hunter (steve irwin)..died...most of you have already heard that...but when i found out yesterday i was pretty upset...cause when i was a kid..i wanted to be like him...cause he was so brave and he saved so many animals....we all knew that at any moment he could have died...he played with death all the time...and i think thats what drew his fans...but i think secretly we all thought that he was immortal... :)..i did.....jks.....so ya it got me thinking...steve had over 500 000 000 fans....when he died the whole world knew....well pretty much....anyone who has a tv or some sort of media device...and the thing is he was just a man...who grew up in a normal home..in austraila....but his life led such an example...in the area of animal rights and enviromentalism.....it has inspired me....cause we were talking about rights in social today and we are all born equal..and when we are born we ..well most of us are all at the same level of importance....its what we do in life that makes us more noticeable and acknowledged....like martin luther king jr for example......before he stood up for the rights....he was just another black man that worked like everyone else.....but when he stood up....he became an icon..and a role model for many.....for us we all live pretty normal lifes..we go to school etc..but we all have the potential to be great men and women for God...we all have the potential to be like steve or martin.....its wat we choose to do with our lifes....we need to stop underestimating the power that God has placed in us......we can do great things for Him...and many people will know the God with in us....the main difference between becoming famous in God and famous in man is that it shouldnt matter about our name becoming great...but His...i think its time that our generation begins to stand up like martin for our friends...for our broken familes...angainst injustice....cause thats all martin and steve did..they stood...and people followed....but ultimatly thats what Jesus did.....He stood up to the leaders of His time and said..NO!..He said no to rejection and no to hurt and no to judgement...no to belittleing the children.....when He died on that cross...He said NO longer do they have to live in hurt and dispare...and in guilt and shame....who are we standing against?....are we standing?....or are we sitting on our padded butts and hearing about people like steve dying and saying "oh he was a good man..."...or are we encouraged when we hear about how Jesus took on authority and acknowlegdement because he stood...and people followed...and people still follow today...i am one of them!
