I've never been able to name any heros in my life. When asked "who is your hero?" I'd usually answer my father, or Mark McGwire if it seemed more appropriate. I've just never identified with anyone in that way. If you ask me people I respect - I could give you a list a mile long. People I admire - the same. Hero? That's difficult. Lately I find it easier to imagine men that I admire so much that I might call them heros. Here is a list of potential heros: (I left out men from Scripture - though men like Peter and David and Jeremiah and so many others are heroic and worthy of their own list)
1. George Washington (maybe the one man that I would call "hero" without reservation)
2. Thomas Sowell (his clarity of though combined with his background is admirable)
3. John Piper (blesses me with almost everything he says or writes)
4. John Calvin
