But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
Carpenter from Nazareth
Even so, Lord Jesus, grant me the grace to drink at the fountain of living waters all my days on Planet Earth. Then, forevermore in your presence when you take me home. Amen.
.My name is Peter Wiebe. I am a husband and father of 4 boys-the oldest of which has gone ahead of us to Heaven after a courageous battle with cancer at the age of 10.
As the name of this blog implies, I desire to write stories about heroes. Jesse loved hero stories, and I would love nothing more than to write stories that I think he would want to read. Hero stories , whether real or fictional, can inspire us to live more nobly in our own daily lives.
Plus, I am personally grieved at how many heroes in books and film today are portrayed as many different shades of gray-no moral compass. I am not advocating heroes without flaws, but heroes who recognize their flaws and acknowledge and work on overcoming them. I think of the great Bible heroes like David, Sampson, and Joshua just to name a few.
I think also of the Hero of heroes, who indeed has no flaws. Jesus is the ultimate inspiration for us all. The best qualities of any hero always point to Him.

Keep reminding me, Rebecca. It is good for me to hear. The Lord continues to use people like you to hold me up when I am weak. He has been faithful. May he bless you richly.
Impressive visual effect…heartfelt thoughts and love.
Thank you, Bonnie.
He is precious, beautiful little boy. You were blessed to have him, even if it was for a short while. He is not dead. You WILL see him again.
Keep reminding me, Rebecca. It is good for me to hear. The Lord continues to use people like you to hold me up when I am weak. He has been faithful. May he bless you richly.
Thank you Peter.

God bless you. I do not have children, so I can only imagine what you have gone through.
But I know suffering and I know pain, and I know it is never easy.
Thank you for your kind words.
You are welcome.
