"Prompt: If I were invisible, I would..." be ineffective in my mission. My mission is for people to see Jesus Christ in me. I want my actions and me attitudes to exude Christ likeness so that others will want the peace and love that is Jesus Christ. If I were invisible they could still feel the effects of my actions but I would not set much of an example. I want people to see Christ living in me.

"Prompt: Jeff Vandermeer, in his Wonderbook, talks about a “scar” or a “ghost of a scar” or a “splinter”, which exists in a writer’s background that inspires or causes him to begin to write. In his case, it was his parents’ divorce when he was a child. What other kinds of “ghosts of scars” can inspire the urge to write? Do you know of any real-life examples of it?"

Yes I can think of examples. I was abused a lot as a child and that has made me into what I am today. I write a lot based on my experiences. I am also a Christian and that definitely reflects in my writing. Writing is a platform that I as a Christian educator can use to attempt to win a handful to the Lord Jesus Christ. He has paid the way for us. All we need do is quit following what our minds tell us and start following our hearts. Follow that little tug inside and allow it to grow into a beautiful relationship with our creator!
