Heroes

Everyone has heroes... Well at least everyone I know. I myself have had quite a few over the years, but not the TV star kind. More like the people in my class at school kind, now I've found idolizing anyone but God is a waste of time :).

Jimmy Barklay's got a hero, his is basketball all star Lighting Livingston. And guess what??? Lighting has opened a new sports store in Odyssey! But not everyone is happy about it :(. Frank Malone, a reporter for The Odyssey Times (The main newspaper of Odyssey), is looking for the story behind Lightning's "early" retirement; he wont stop till he gets it.

But Lightning doesn't let that phase him, he opens basketball camps for the kids of Odyssey and is a great role model for Jimmy. Lightning and Jimmy become close friends, but the question is still up in the air: why did Lightning retire so early? Are the rumors true, was it a drug problem? The search goes on unknown to Jimmy, until it boils over and the truth comes out... (DAR DA DA AAA).

Jimmy's done with sticking up for people "forever" or so he says. Lightning is convinced he has to pull his reputation out of the dump. He's just recently become a christian, you see. Thanks to a radio space Lightnings able to convince most of the town, but Jimmy wasn't listening. So when Jimmy gets home he's got a surprise waiting for him. It takes plenty of time, but Lightning finally breaks the ice. By the end it sounds like Melvin "Lightning" Livingston and Jimmy Barklay are ganna be friends for quite a while :),

What's the lesson??? NO one's perfect. At all. Period. :)

That and DON'T DO DRUGS!
