Captain Moroni: Epic Leader!

Ok, so I usually can't stand it when people use the word "epic," because it has been so abused and exploited in the fads of society lately.  However, Moroni embodies the true definition of the word: "extending beyond the usual or ordinary."  Am I right?!!!

"If all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni,
behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever;
yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men."
 
So, here is a list of his (coveted) characteristics:
-strong and mighty
-perfect understanding  (WISE)
-did not delight in bloodshed
-soul joyed in the liberty of his people and country
-heart swelled in thanksgiving to God
-labored exceedingly for the welfare of his people
-firm in the faith of Christ
-taught the people never to give an offense
--When trials were imminent, Moroni was found "preparing the minds of the people to be faithful unto the Lord their God."

I want to be more like him!  I'm working on it!
