Of course you know that Batman had his back broken and barely lived. 
 You know that he functioned with help and went around the world with a 
brace.  He had himself strapped to a pole on a building.  Then, he lured a
 villain in close so that he could pretend to be healthy and fight him alone.  
You know how he made that work.  


You know how Superman was dead, medically/clinically dead.  You know that
 he was nearly completely dead because the people of Gotham decided 
to honor him by entombing him in darkness.  The Eradicator decided to use 
the body of the dead Kryptonian so that he could be fully alive as a
 Kryptonian.  But, you know that when he tried to take over the body he 
found the consciousness of Superman still there.  The Eradicator rushed him 
to a regeneration matrix.  After 6 months a weak, battered man stepped
 out of the matrix.  You know how he fought and pretended to be
 strong until...but, why should I tell you what you know?


Of course, perhaps you don't know what happened to Dick Grayson, a man
 who found he could not play second fiddle to a Dark Knight.  Perhaps 
you don't know why Superboy will never grow up to be a Superman.  Would you 
like to know what happened when Hal Jordan decided to save the World by
 killing his teammates?  If you would like to know how Shazam saved the World 
from the powers of Darkness or how a troubled little girl took over as Batgirl,
 all you have to do is open up these exciting trade paperbacks.  There are many trade paperbacks
 (graphic novels) that can answer your questions in an entertaining afternoon 
of reading.  Stop in and check them out.

I received the following story in an email.

I do not know if this is fiction or a true account, but it is 
 clearly a beautiful illustration of the faith of a child. 
 I thought I would share it with you:


"Jesus Really Does Love You!"

(Author Unknown)

Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at their church, the

Pastor and his 11-year-old son would go out into their town and hand out

Gospel tracts. This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the

Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very

cold outside as well as pouring down rain. 
The boy bundled up in his warmest and
driest clothes and said "Okay Dad, I'm ready."

His Pastor Dad asked, "Ready for what?

"Dad, it's time we gather our tracts together and go out."

Dad responds, "Son, it's very cold outside and it's pouring down rain."

The boy gives his Dad a surprised look, asking, "But Dad, aren't people

still going to Hell, even though it's raining?"

Dad answers, "Son, I am not going out in this weather."

Despondently the boy asks, "Dad, can I go-Please?"

His father hesitated for a moment then said, "Son, you can go. Here's

the tracts; be careful son."

"Thanks, Dad!" And with that he was off and out into the rain.

This 11-year-old boy walked the streets of the town going door-to-door

and handing everybody he met in the street a Gospel tract. After 2-hours of

walking in the rain he was soaking bone-chilled wet and down to his very

last tract. He stopped on a corner and looked for someone to hand a

tract to but the streets were totally deserted.

Then he turned toward the first home he saw and started up the sidewalk

to the front door and rang the door bell. He rang the bell, 
but nobody
answered. He rang it again and again,
 but still no one answered. He
waited, but still no answer.
Finally this 11-year-old trooper turned to leave but something stopped
him. Again, he turned to the door and rang the bell and knocked loudly
on the door with his fist. He waited, something holding him there on the
front porch. He rang again, and this time the door slowly opened. Standing in
the doorway was a very sad looking elderly lady.
She softly asked, "What can I do for you, son?"

With radiant eyes and a smile that lit up her world, this little boy

said, "Ma'am, I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but I just want to tell you that

JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU! I came to give you my very last Gospel 
tract which will tell you all about Jesus and His great love."
With that he handed her his last tract, and turned to leave. She called
to him as he departed, "Thank you, son! And God bless you!"
Well, the following Sunday morning in church, Pastor Dad was in the
pulpit and as the service began he asked, "Does anybody have a 
testimony or want to say anything?" 

Slowly, in the back row of the church, an elderly lady stood
 to her
feet.  As she began to speak, a look of glorious radiance came
 from her face.  "None of you in this church know me. I've never been here before. You 
see, before last Sunday I was not a Christian. My husband has passed
 on, some time ago, leaving me totally alone in this world.
 Last Sunday, being a particularly cold and rainy day, it was even more 
so in my heart . . . as came to the end of the line where
 I no longer had any hope or will to
live.  "So I took a rope and a chair and ascended the stairway
 into the attic of my home. I fastened the rope securely to
 a rafter in the roof then stood on the chair and fastened the 
other end of the rope around my neck.
"Standing on that chair, so lonely and brokenhearted, I was 
about to leap off when suddenly the loud ringing of my 
doorbell downstairs startled me. I thought, 'I'll wait a minute,
 and whoever it is will go away.'
"I waited and waited-but the ringing doorbell seemed to get louder and
more insistent and then the person ringing also started knocking loudly
I thought to myself again, 'Who on earth could this be?! Nobody ever rings
my bell or comes to see me!'
"I loosened the rope from my neck and started for the front door, all
the while the bell rang louder and louder. When I opened the door and looked
 I could hardly believe my eyes!
"There on my front porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy I
had ever seen in my life! His smile! Oh, I could never describe it to you!
And the words that came from his mouth caused my heart, that had long been
dead, to leap to life as he exclaimed with cherub-like voice, 'Ma'am,
 I just came to tell you that
 JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU.'

"Then he gave me this Gospel tract that I now hold in my hand. As the

little angel disappeared back out, into the cold and rain, I closed my

door and read slowly every word of this Gospel tract. Then I went up to my attic
to get my rope and chair. I wouldn't be needing them any more.

"You see, I am now a happy child of the KING, and since the address of

your church was on the back of this Gospel tract I have come here to

personally say, 'Thank you to God's little angel who came just in the

nick of time, and by so doing, spared my soul from an eternity in Hell.'"

There were now no dry eyes in the church. As shouts of praise and honor

to the KING resounded off the very rafters of the building, Pastor Dad descended
from the pulpit to the front pew where the little angel was seated. He
took him in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably.
Probably no church has had a more glorious moment and probably this
Universe has never seen a Papa that was more filled with love and honor for
his son, except for one: This Father, God, also allowed His Son, Jesus,
to go out into a cold and dark world. He received His Son back with joy
unspeakable, and as all of Heaven shouted praises and honor to the King,
the Father sat His beloved Son on a throne far above all principality and
power and every name that is named.
There may be someone, reading this, who is also going through a dark,
cold and lonely time in your soul. You may be a Christian, for we are not
without problems, or you may not yet know the King. Whatever the case, and
whatever the problem or situation you find yourself in, and no matter how dark it
may seem, I want you to know that I just came to tell you, "JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU!"
"'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God
did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world
through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does
not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of
God's one and only Son.'" John 3:16-18 (New International Version)
