Super girl?

Now, Super Girl was raised by a single mother. She gave grace to her mother who she realised was just human and capable of mistakes as she witnessed her mother's humanity everyday. But, when it came to her expectations of a father, the expectations were founded on images and ideals of what a man ought to be.  The father was not around. While, Eight is Enough and Happy Days depicted fathers apologizing sometimes in a family and home environment, Super Girl usually gravitates to the strongest and most powerful images of a man. This would include the Western movie hero( Strong, Silent, type) or that Super Hero who always shows up to save; like Jesus  but this Super hero has a perfect hair cut, never gets old and is always perfect like a Ken Doll. The super hero does not have to die and rise again to prove anything usually. Have you seen Superman Returns? Super girl wants a husband but treats every potential suitor with the scrutiny that is skewed by unrealistic expectations. She may spend sometime with a church Bishop or Deacon( they have to be married) in the bible study class, but she does not get to hear about how he forgot to bring home the milk or the eggs or to take the son to soccer practice. He is sometimes late while he is praying with Super girl to forgive her absent father. She needs to realise that the average father does not have a cape and boots; nor will her humble husband who understood the grace that was required by a single mother. There is no need for a double standard in expectations. Batman fell down sometimes; I hear. But, he got back up again by grace. Super girl should take her cape off and just carry a bible in her back pocket, hand bag or her gendarmerie uniforms. She is here to help and not perpetuate a cycle of anger and unrealistic expectations of perfection that engineer disappointment.  The best thing to do in the alternative is to find out how many times the Western movie hero misses before killing the baddie. This way, you will see they are not perfect and that the image of perfection is just as human as the single mother. 

See first Corinthians 13. If everyone was perfect, you would not need the love. What do you say to a coke or a Fanta with some forgiveness?
