Hi
Today I am writing about a celebrity that I admire as a human being, Chuck Norris. We often think of celebrities as the persona that they portray on TV and in movies and we forget that they are real people. Chuck Norris is more than some guy who goes around kicking people and dealing out karate chops, he is a real person. This real person is the one that I will speak of.
Chuck is a veteran of the US Air Force with service in Korea, where I believe he got interested in martial arts. After Korea he went into competitive martial arts and won tournaments and some titles. Then came movies and TV. He has always shown these stories as they should be shown, the good guys win. This may be unrealistic to some but it enforces a good positive role model for us to follow, and we sure need good role models. He was asked to portray the "villain" dojo operator in the movie "The Karate Kid" but he refused the part because the role showed the teacher in a bad light. That's conviction and faith. Chuck runs a series of karate schools throughout the country where teaching is not limited to martial arts but to morality. It is my understanding that the schools are a success so he must be a good business man as well.
We always like to look for the "Renaisance man" and I think in Chuck Norris we have one. I have seen him on TV as a guest and he always is looking out for the good of society. If only our politicians would follow his example. It would make me very happy to see Chuck run for political office, just think of all the good he could do. (Yeah, I know he could karate chop the crooked politicians, haha) You must admit that with people like Chuck Norris in politics our country would be run much better than it is now.
Remember there are other good guys who are not in such a high profile position, namely, our armed services. Please pray for them.
GOD Bless
