Prompt: "Tell us a mysterious story. Or write a review of your favorite mystery book or movie."

A mystery to me would be to wonder why Jesus Christ loved and loves me so. I mean I am a sinner. I was always a sinner and as long as I remain in this flesh I will be a sinner. Despite the fact that I am a sinner who is hopelessly ensnared in sin Jesus loves me and saved me. I don't understand that because I know Jesus cannot stand sin. He loves me in spite of my sin and that means I love others in spite of the fact that they are sinners. My son hurts me all the time because he ignores my calls and is always busy when I talk to him. I know he is young and uncomfortable just being quiet together. I forgive him in spite of his sin because I love him just as I love everybody else. I know that it is difficult to fathom loving a person you have never met, but it is easy to do when you are a Christian. Love grows in Christians and even when you know people are doing you wrong you can only forgive them and pray for them. I know the world is an evil place but there is not one human being on this planet that I would not lay down my life for because Jesus laid down His life for me.

"Prompt: Aspire- To hope to achieve something in one's hopes or ambitions. What things have you aspired in?"

I don't believe the proper grammar is "aspire in". I believe it is "aspire to." I aspire to become a recovery coach/addictions counselor. I need two more years of college to have my MSW and another five or so to have my Ph. D. in psychology. That is my ultimate aspiration.
