I'd call my book STORIES OF WHERE I'D RATHER BE because it pretty much sums up my life... i'd rather be hiking

[sammistarship]

I would call it "You Are of Value"
because everyone has value no matter what they do or what happens =]

[jacclark]

My book would be titled MASTERPIECE
Because everybody is an original masterpiece, perfect just the way they are.

This is a video I think supports my point. It is a christian video and i do not mean to offend any of you who are not christian. Just so you know

I think i'd call mine (since lindsey stole my idea of hiking with hers) THE VICTORY LAP because of the fact that we're never really done with the race, even if it seems over. I'm always moving towards the next stage and that's exactly how it's supposed to be. I'd like it to look like this

I actually am writing a book. I'm still deciding on a name, but the first thing to pop in my mind would probably be Imperfection because no one is perfect, but that doesn't mean we can't be great and amazing.

I'll go with Stained Glass.

I think people are like the pieces of a stained glass window. To make stained glass, the artist takes a beautiful, perfect piece of glass, and he deeply etches the shape he wants the glass to become into that once pristine surface. Then, he shatters the parts of glass around the shape he etched. Once he has his the piece just as he wants it, it becomes part of his masterpiece. He seamlessly joins the different broken pieces and makes a complete piece of art. Stained glass windows are beautiful, but they are most breathtaking when viewed from the darkness, with light shining from within.

The Artist allows suffering into our lives to form us into the people we are designed to be. He breaks us, just like He shatters the glass. And when it's all over, we become part of His brilliant masterpiece. Just as a stained glass window, created from hundreds of broken pieces, is more beautiful than a single piece of untouched glass, we are more beautiful and more precious once we are broken and then joined together with other broken people. Those who survive become part of the Artist's masterpiece, and the light that comes from within illuminates the darkness and brings hope.

That's what the BBC is all about, isn't it? Bringing together "broken" people to create something more beautiful and precious than each of us could have ever been while "whole."
