The Coolest guys

Ever wonder what I thought of as the coolest guys ever.... well even if you didn't your gonna find out. And if you still don't care well you can just stop reading this.

Coolest guy in the Bible
Most people might say David, Paul or Peter, but I think it's a slightly lesser known individual, Elisha. (not Elijha) Elisha was pretty much Elijah's apprentice. Elijah just goes up to Elisha one day and says, "Your gonna be my successor so pack your bags and let's go." and Elisha asks, "Can I say bye to my mom and dad?" Elijah answers, "Yeah just don't forget to come back" So Elisha says "Bye Mom! Bye Dad! I'm gonna go be a prophet!" and they say, "Bye have fun!" ...oh and he burns a sacrifice. (1 Kings chapter 19)
Anyway so after awhile Elijah's is going to go to heaven and he tells Elisha, "I'm going to Bethel. Stay here." and Elisha says "Nope I'm going with you." and he does the same thing when Elijah goes to Jericho and Jordan. Then finally Elijah and Elisha know they have to say good-bye and Elijah asks "What can I do for you before I go to heaven?" and Elisha says "I wanna be like you." So Elijah tells him that he has to watch him be taken away for that to happen. So then a chariot of fire comes and takes Elijah away. (How cool would that be!) Then he takes Elijah's coat, which somehow got left. and goes to the river and shouts "Where's Elijah?" and hits the water and it parts and he crosses over. (2 Kings chapter 2)
After Elijah's gone Elisha does some REALLY cool miracles like sanitizing poisoned water, healing people, raising the dead, making a axe that fell to the bottom of the river float up, and the almost everlasting oil jug. But another thing about Elisha is, well, I guess you'd say he's a feeler. For example, one time there was a King who was dying and he sent his messenger Hazael to ask Elisha if he was gonna make it and Elisha say "Yeah, he's gonna be fine.... actually he's gonna die and your gonna be King." Then Elisha starts crying and Hazael asks "What's wrong?"
"I know what your going to do to my people your going to kill them." And Hazael is shocked and says, "What kinda sick animal do you think I am? I won't hurt anybody."
And then Hazael goes back and tells the King that He'll be fine. And that night the King dies because "someone" took a towel and soak it in water and suffocated the King. (which is actually a pretty creative idea) But anyway Elisha is a cool guy and you read his whole story in 2 Kings chapter 2-13. Yeah he gets 11 chapters that's how cool he is.

Coolest guy in History (Not that the bible isn't history but you know what I mean)
William Wilberforce. Aside from having a awesomely cool name, William has a awesomely cool story. He fight tremendous odds to stop the slave trade. He goes through all kinds of adversity and despite it all he still keeps going and wins!!! The movie about him (which a movie you have see a billion times before you die) comes out this weekend called Amazing Grace on August 31st. And you should also watch it to understand William's whole story 'cause I can't write it down here and make it as good as the movie.

Coolest Guy in Fiction
Most of you who know me, already know what I'm going to say, Samwise Gamgee. He's without a doubt the coolest guy in fiction. (sadly it is fiction) In a way he's kind of like Elisha because where ever his master, Frodo, goes he follows. And he's also like William Wilberforce because he continues to press on no matter what. And he's always watching out for Frodo. He never goes anywhere without Frodo and everything he does is to help Frodo. A perfect example of servant hood. Here are some of the best "Sam" moments:
"He [Sam] bent over Frodo rousing him gently. Frodo groaned; but with a great effort of will he staggered up; and then fell upon his knees again. He raised his eyes with difficulty to the dark slopes of mount Doom towering above him, and then pitifully he began to crawl forward on his hands.
Sam looked at him and wept in his heart, but no tears came to his dry and stinging eyes. 'I said I'd carry him, if it broke my back,' he muttered, 'and I will!'
'Come, Mr. Frodo!' he cried. 'I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you and it as well. So up you get! Come on, Mr. Frodo dear! Sam will give you a ride. Just tell him where to go, and he'll go.'
As Frodo clung upon his back arms loosely about his neck, legs clasped firmly under his arms, Sam staggered to feet; and then to his amazement he felt the burden light. " ~The Return of the King (book)

"'It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened? But in the end it's only a passing thing, this shadow, even darkness must pass. A new day will come and when the sun shines it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think Mr. Frodo, I do understand, I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't they kept going, because they were holding on to something.'
'What are we holding on to Sam?'
'That there's some good in this world Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for!'" Two Towers (movie)
So yup, see why Sam's so cool. Just read the books or watch the movie and you'll find other reasons why Sam is the coolest made-up guy EVER!!!
