In the 1980's, the TV show Coverup used this popular theme song sung by Bonnie Tyler.

"I Need A Hero".

If you have never heard it, you may like to watch the UTube video.

"I Need a Hero", by Bonnie Tyler

• Today I saw a blog by Jeff and Heather Rickert entitled "Would Your Boss Donate a Kidney".

I proudly re-blogged it. Several members commented about Heroes they knew.

The thought struck me ~ How many heroes never get honorable mention?

• We ponder our economic distress. We worry about the future of our country. We are concerned that our children are inheriting our man made mess. Is Global warming real or contrived? Will our industry be severely impacted by more foreclosures and short sales?
  
• We are bombarded by the evil and wrongs of the world every day.
  

We know our brave military men and women are heroes.

Never should we let a day go by without praying for them.

Never should we fail to say "Thank you for your service".

Little do we realize we are surrounded by everyday heroes.

Just ordinary folks who do extraordinary things. We have met them or heard about them in our daily lives

Some do small things. Other do huge things. They never ask for recognition or praise. Most are generous beyond our imagination in a quiet way.

So my friends in the Rain - Let's Make a Storm!

Let's take this opportunity to give the heroes you know a resounding clap of Thunder and the illumination of Lightening.

It can be someone close to home or a celebrity who gives quietly from the heart.

It can be a relative, friend, co-worker, minister, neighbor or someone you have never met.
