Grace’s Unending Call

Based on what I have learned over the years, I believe this special anime, Kirby: Right Back at Ya! has something unique about it. Whether it’s the characters, scenes of love and friendship, or the atmosphere and aura of the lifestyles each character possesses, this anime teaches many Biblical truths of what to do and what not to do. If you look past the surface of the cute cartoon show, you’ll see more than you expect.

 

 

She started as a baby. . .

An innocent infant.

 

 

Gradually. . .

She changed.

She learned to crawl.

Walk.

Run.

Talk.

Read.

Write.

Understand life for what it was.

 

She learned to be observant.

She learned to be watchful.

She learned how to see beyond the surface.

 

She learned how to love.

Not in an eros way.

Nor ludus.

Nor mania.

Nor philautia.

 

But agape.

 

 

The child’s name was Tiff.

Her name meant “manifestation of God.”

And truly. . .

 

She indeed showed God’s manifestation.

 

She was a light in a dark world.

A flickering flame that never went out

Despite the world’s repeated attempts to extinguish it.

 

For what is lit by God. . .

 

can never be quenched except by His own hand.

 

 

She hated injustice and cruelty.

She longed for a world renewed.

 

 

She longed for love to be the ultimate ruler of the universe.

True, authentic love.

Agape love.

 

She talked with those who needed healing.

 

Prayed for those who were hurting.

Explained the truth of God’s Word to all through everyday life.

 

Despite the continual opposition from her enemies. . .

 

 

 

And her friends’ occasional anger

Over her helpful persistence. . .

 

She was a picture of hope and grace

For all who knew her.

She never gave up no matter what.

 

For she knew that on the other side

Of the blackest night of despair. . .

Lay a glorious dawn of hopefulness for all.

Writing Books

I have always yearned to be an author. When I was little, I loved writing books. The “books” were really just notebook papers secured together with Scotch tape and had a chapter per page. The spelling and grammar were ugly, and the stories made no sense. But to my five- or six-year-old self, they were the most awe-inspiring books on Earth.

As I got older and learned more and more about grammar and even took English, I realized how horrid my first efforts at writing books truly were. How in the world could I have even thought those insignificant, one-chapter-on-each-page books were grandiose? The first books were total bombs, and even though I took English and learned all the grammar my brain could hold, they were still pretty awful. Still one chapter per page, still taped together with flimsy Scotch tape.

Then I took to reading. I pored over mystery stories, adventure stories, fanfictions, allegories, and Christian fiction. But my greatest interest was Kirby. I decided to work in that particular area and turn a charming game into a Christian fiction manifesto. I wanted to strive hard to truly be a great author.

But the question I often ask quiz myself on is: Why do I write?

It took me a while to come up with an answer, but then I finally perceived.

The reason I write is straightforward: I love to write. I enjoy writing. I have a passion for writing. I believe God has called me to write. I am not like C.S. Lewis or Carolyn Keene, but I have my own unique style of writing.

So as long as I am alive and breathing, I will try my best to make great book(s).

Especially if it involves Kirby.
