Dan Roth - Pastor of Disaster

Rosa Parks was a hero of mine. Here's a little explanation, copied from the message I posted on Fishtown.US:

Rosa Parks has long been a hero of mine. Now, I know it's easy to make a hero of a cultural icon. However, she did not become a hero to me when I learned what she did on the bus that day. I soon learned others had done the same before her. Rather, she became a hero to me when I learned how the life of faith and integrity she lived before she sat down made it possible for others to stand up with her. I pray my life will make it possible for others to stand up, should I ever find myself in a similar situation. God bless you, Miss Rosa.

Here's some reflections from Marko about her, and about Yac (an important-person-from-afar in my life). I think it sums it up well.
