Introducing… the Super Moons!

Ladies and Gentlemen … I would like to take a moment to introduce the brave, the fearless, the AMAZING… “Super-Moons!” The Super Moons are a family of four crime-fighting, people-loving superheroes who are a little known secret in this world. They each have different super-hero abilities, but are all learning to use their strengths to combat evil and build a strong family unit. Let’s meet them.

First, meet the youngest of the group — “Super Jonah” (also sometimes called “Super Jo”). While Super Jonah is a mere 24 pounds at 14 months of age, his superhero abilities are undeniable. Super Jo is the climber of the group. He uses his super-climbing skills to retrieve dangerous remote-controls and cordless telephones that have been hidden on the backs of couches everywhere. He also possesses super-tap-dancing-abilities. When he hears evil approaching, he quickly climbs atop an end table or coffee table and begins to tap. The pitter patter of his feet alerts everyone around of the imminent danger. Though his climbing and tapping skills are second to none in the superhero world, Super Jo is still refining his aquatic capabilities. He fearlessly leaped into the Super-Moons’ training pool one day last week to show off an underwater flip. Thankfully, Super Dad and Super Mom were both there supervising this dare-devilish stunt because little Super Jo isn’t quite ready to fight solo in an aquatic attack, though he is fearless.

The second superhero of the clan, “Super Jay” is the real aquatic adventurer of this group. Super Jay, at 42 pounds, three-and-a-half feet tall, and three-and-a-half years old can out-swim the fastest of villians. Any evil that approaches Super Jay near water will be quickly defeated with his power-cannonball. However, if a stealthy attack is necessary, it’s not a problem for Super Jay. He simply fits his super-big-brown-eyes with his super-goggles and dives underwater to catch his enemies. Super Jay’s real secret weapon, however is his mind. He has an amazing ability of memorizing. Once, when an evil villian, “The Potty Trainer,” was upon him, he was able to remember and quote a line from a movie, “SIEZE THAT CREATURE!” Amazingly, the Potty Trainer doubled over in laughter and was unable to force herself on him. On another occasion, he was able to use a memorized movie quote to fight off “Super Dad” in a training session. When he declared, “You are a sad, strange little man” to Super Dad, the super-parents decided that  superhero training for the day was finished. You see — they had just discovered that Super Jay’s secret weapon was truly his gift of memorization. Since that time, the super-parents have trained Jay in memorizing the books of the New Testament (he had accomplished this at age two-and-a-half) and several Bible verses. They figure that if all his memorizing is put to good practice, Super Jay will grow up knowing just how to use his super powers for good.

“Super Dad” is the level head of this superhero family. He is a strong leader, a compassionate spirit, and a people-lover. He uses his super-weapons, the baton and trombone, to fight off the evil villian “intonation” in most of his daily battles. However, Super Mom says that his  most pronounced super-skill is his magnetic strength. He uses his magnetic ability to lure in people everywhere — and people everywhere love Super-Dad. Super-Mom likes to say he just has a “magnetic personality.” 😉

“Super Mom,” being the only female in this superhero family grows in super strength by seeing her boys learn and grow. She delights in uncovering the powers and abilities of her super-children and rests easy knowing that Super-Dad is the family leader. You see, being the only female in a family of superheroes means Super Mom feels pretty safe and protected. However, if need be, Super Mom can take on the strongest of enemies. You see, Super Mom has a Super God that she turns to for wisdom and strength. Super Mom’s God promises that she can do anything, “through Christ who gives [her] strength.” That’s pretty SUPER if you ask me.
