We have heroes that come with capes, shining boots & suits, super strengths & incredible powers to conquer evil and save innocent lives. We have heroes who serve & protect our communities & our country, even if it required risking their lives to save others. We even have heroes who are ordinary people yet still do great things, inspiring the next generations to follow in their footsteps and seek to use their examples to bring much more good to the world so it becomes a better place every day.

I'm grateful for this day to take the opportunity to share the thoughts & feelings that I have gained recently, relating particularly to yesterday. These are insights I'd like to share with everyone--my family & friends, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints that I'm a part of, and everyone else worldwide.
