How To Deal With Change
So this past week, in getting a fever pitch created for Comic-Con, Marvel announced BIG changes to the Avengers empire. Also, this week our church had to deal with a BIG change which also has personal ramifications for me. Change can be disarming for anyone, and BIG changes can be downright nauseating. How one deals with change in a transitional phase of life can be determine much, but what does the Bible say about how to deal with the change?

Superheroes and Bullying
Has it already been a month since I posted? Wow. Well this last month has been a pretty eventful one being busy with church activities (VBS, speaking for one retreat in San Diego, and my own youth group retreat ending just last Friday). Finally, all of my busy summer ministry activities are over. Praise the Lord for His many mercies shining His love on many, while providing me and Mrs. Nerd the strength to endure.
I also spent a substantial chunk of time away from +Undercity Comics (Uptown Whittier) as a result of my business and while I was gone I got to thinking about superheroes and what makes them popular. I think one of the big reasons why we like superheroes is because we like to fantasize which superhero we would be or which super power we would have. But I think another reason why we like superheroes is because they often times rescue us from troublesome situations. Yes there are the natural disasters that they might be able to prevent, but I am more referring to the rescuing of one who is unable to defend themselves. I remember growing up, being picked on for not being the right color, not being the right shape, and not having the right facial features, and just thinking "If only my neighborhood friendly Spider-Man were flying past this situation he would surely rescue me from these bullies."
