Superheroes have soared into historic popularity in the past few years. Caped crusaders are demolishing the box office on a regular basis, break records left and right. Primetime television seems to feature a new hero team with each new season. Video games let us take control of our favorite defenders of the universe (or in most cases New York) to give us a glimpse of their true power.
High time for Charlotte had its own superhero coming from the pages of a comic book.
And, boy! Do we have a comic book for you! Move over Superman, Iron Man and Shazam. We’ve have discovered our new favorite superhero … Frogboy!
Written and created by Charlotte native John Burgin,
Frogboy is the culmination of a lifelong love of comics,
art and, of course, superheroes. “Drawing has been part of
my life for as long as I can remember. Used to lay on the floor
as a kid and draw for hours. Would look at picture books and comics
and try to draw what I saw,” This love of comics and art eventually led
John to study art ‘n illustration @ University of North Carolina, Charlotte.
About 6 years ago, John decided to take his passions to the next level and began
to write and draw comics of his own creation. Creating his own comics and character.
John hoped to develop a world that people could identify with and get lost in. That
inspiration behind the helmet-wearing, skateboard-riding, a staff-wielding Frogboy
is John’s very own son. John wanted to give his oldest son — the avid comic book
fan as well; the chance to be a superhero himself in the paneled pages. “When
he was younger we would read books at night and he was a fan of Batman and
Spider-Man, but I decided to create a character that could be him as the
alter ego,” says John. “At the time I was involved with ministry work
with an organization in Charlotte and a friend told me about a place
in South Africa he visited called the FROG center which stood for
‘Fully Rely On God,’” recalls John. Something about frog stayed
in John’s head and a name Frogboy rose to this city’s surface.
TACO TUESDAY TAKES OVER THE GLOBE!
After years of playing with the character, John recently released his very first official Frogboy book titled “Taco Tuesday.” To date, John has sent prints of the book to fans all across the globe, from New York and San Francisco to Ireland and Australia. Frogboy may be a Queen City Creation, but he’s on his way to becoming an international star.
“Taco Tuesday has been a real rush! I am excited that it has done as well as it has. It’s the first full Frogboy story and I wasn’t sure how it would be received,” said John. “People seem to enjoy the art, humor and the fact that it is an all-ages book that’s
still a bit edgy. People say the art style reminds them
of the art in Mad Magazine.” Not only has John been sending
his book far and wide, he’s also hopped on the local comic book
convention circuit to help share Frogboy’s adventure. In June, John
had a booth at HeroesCon, Charlotte’s largest comic book convention that
has been filling our city with heroes every summer since 1982. HeroesCon is
known as a “comics-first” convention, meaning it really focuses on the artists
and their work in print, rather than movies, video games. It’s known in the comics
community as a place for indie artist and creators; like John to have Frogboy’s name
the collaborates other artists, see industry contact and gain fans for their character.
With HeroesCon leading the pack, the comic book scene is continuing to grow stronger and stronger in town Charlotte as new conventions, writers and artists make their way to the Queen City. There are more ways to become connected to the comic community than ever before. One of John’s favorites is a group called Sketch Charlotte.
“We do meet at Common Market Oakwold locale
every Thursday to hang out, sketch, chat about things comic in pop culture.
There are pros aspiring artists and just people who like drawing, writing
who attend. Anyone can come, it is great fun.” John’s frogboy will have
made appearances at different shows and book signings through out the
rest of the year as he works on his second issue. The new book will
debut this winter. Stay up to date with frogboy; and keep tabs on
John’s appearance schedule and follow his page @frogboyofficial.
Don’t you wish you had Action Comics #1: the first appearance
of Superman, Amazing Fantasy #15, that first time Spider-Man
swung onto the scene? Don’t regret skipping out on Frogboy
issue #1, fifty years from now, as he is that officially
shredding the competition and he’s a hottest superhero

Herein do we see the Cross that whatever matters that we may accomplish by our own does not require the cross; it is only when we allow the Lord to live in our lives so that He may be our things and our all do we need the cross. If He makes no move, how can we move? Oh how we need to ask God to deliver us from our good works just as we ask Himfor deliverance from our sins. How often it is relatively easier to be delivered from sin (since sin is condemned) than be delivered from the natural life (since many the are neither condemned nor rejected.)

daily Lesson
“Life’s trials and tribulations are actually blessings. For they are God’s Saving Grace’s.”
“This is my personal mantra. One that everyone can relate to. We all go through hard times. Regardless of the severity, one person’s own “trials and tribulations” are extreme to them. If you can look past the pain, eventually, you can come to realize there was the reason GOD put you If the message in the Daily Life ‘2321 6:52.22PM’
“Oh! men and brethren, what would this heart feel if I could but believe that there were some among you who would go home and pray for a revival men whose faith is large enough, and their love fiery enough to lead them from this moment to exercise unceasing intercessions that God would appear among us and do wondrous things here, as in the times of former generations.” – Charles G. Spurgeon
Every true revival…has had its earthly origin in prayer. R A Torrey
A revival may be expected when Christians have a spirit of prayer for a revival. That is, when they pray as if their hearts were set upon it. When Christians have the spirit of prayer for a revival. When they go about groaning out their hearts desire. When they have real travail of soul. – Charles Finney
If you don’t do your part, don’t blame God. – Billy Graham on Sunday: Will You Do Your Part?
I want to encourage everyone to take a specific time each week and pray for revival. It can be 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, etc. Show God that you are committed and want revival. Yes, it may take some sacrifice, but how much do we really want revival? – Ricky Cothren
Service is the Law of Heaven. My angels do always obey. “They serve Him continually” can be said of all who love Me. With Love there is continuous service in every action, and also even in rest. Take this not as the end but as the beginning of a New Life consecrated to My Service. A Life of Power and Joy.

At the time of his death, Major General Smedley Darlington Butler, also known as “The Fighting Quaker”, was the most decorated Marine in US history; he was the only person to be awarded a Marine Corps Brevet Medal and a Medal of Honor for two separate military actions. He had also become an unrelenting voice against the business of war.
Raised by prominent Quaker parents, Smedley Butler defied his pacifist lineage by joining the Marines just before his 17th birthday. He served in Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico and Haiti (earning his Medals of Honor in Mexico and Haiti). Butler was known for his leadership and commitment to the welfare of the men under his command. He rose quickly through the ranks to become, at age 48, one of the youngest major generals.
Prior to World War II, Butler spoke out against what he saw as admiration for Fascism and for Italy´s leader Benito Mussolini. He was punished for telling an unfavorable story about Mussolini, avoided court-martial by accepting a reprimand. Because of his rank, he was able to write his own reprimand and never apologized to Mussolini.
Butler retired from the military in 1931. By then, he was beginning to question US involvement in foreign conflicts. He had come to believe that war–in particular WWI–was really a profitable business for the few and at the expense of thousands of lives. He thought of himself as a cog in the imperialist war machine.
In a booklet titled War is a Racket, Butler wrote, “In the World War [I] a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict. At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War….How many of these war millionaires shouldered a rifle?….The general public shoulders the bill. And what is this bill? …Newly placed gravestones. Mangled bodies. Shattered minds…For a great many years, as a soldier, I had a suspicion that war was a racket; not until I retired to civil life did I fully realize it. Now that I see the international war clouds gathering, as they are today, I must face it and speak out.”
War is a Racket grew out of a series of speeches Butler gave to whatever group wanted to hear his views. Though he faced criticism, Butler was steadfast in his beliefs about war, US imperialism, and a growing Pro-Fascist movement. He spoke frankly and honestly about his experiences and opinions, and was very popular with the American public.
In 1934, Butler went before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) to expose a conspiracy against the government. He had been recruited by a group of wealthy Pro-Fascists had hoped to use him in a coup against President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He went along, gathering intelligence about the plot, and took it to Congress. Butler’s assertions were not aggressively pursued, and the matter was largely dismissed. However, an internal report to Congress from HUAC confirmed the veracity of the plot.

God gives us all a staggering proposal: “Don’t worry about anything,” ‘Yea, right.” And while I’m at it, I’ll leapfrog the moon. Are You kidding?’ Jesus is not… Two words summarize His opinion of worry: irrelevant and irreverent.

1 Chr 16:7 Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
Ps 81:2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
