Oh, my kind of hero, John. A moving monoku. Your golden pen spills with empathy and kindness that can only flow from the fount of a big, giving heart. Inspiring, my dear friend. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan

I did Habitat for Humanity when I was a much younger man. It's hard word! But I appreciate those who do volunteer, they are doing the world an admirable service.

No, never met him. He seems to have a lot of compassion, and has brought a lot of positive attention to the organization. Thanks for dropping by, Mark. ~ John

Thank you, Andrea. I don't know superheroes very well so I thought it would be better to make one up.

You know Jesus was in construction, my friend, and the road to God is always under construction! This has a whole lot of meat to it and definitely a "firm foundation!" Best wishes in the contest!

Yes, he is always building and repairing. Reminded of the old song "Mansion Builder" by Second Chapter of Acts. Thanks for the kind words and wishes!

A world of meaning in this Monoku - Rome wasn't built in a day - you are Heavens super-hero! Your humble approach to life John is terrific, I enjoy and admire your attitude to living! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Wonderful comment, Jennifer. You make me feel like a million bucks, but I'd vote for the calloused, sweaty ones as the real heroes/heroines. Thank you for the admiration and the uplifting messages.

The humble hero, saving the world by sweat and bone, instead of flashy outfits and melodrama - it takes time and patience, but you can make a greater difference in the long run - tears me up a little, actually!
