Isn't it interesting how different we all are? Some of us can't stand the reflection in the mirror because they want to see someone else; the person they always dreamed they could be. Others calmly view their life as the success they are proud to have achieved. But some others make all of us feel sick because they are so absorbed by their wealth, power, and influence.
Look in the mirror. What do you see? The future of compassion and good will that will make God pleased with you? Or, do you see a stagnant individual whose only drives are making more money, buying more things, and living in more classy places?
Look in the mirror, because if you are an ordinary person with humility and determination, you can become an extraordinary individual. Look in the mirror, because if fame and fortune smile on your future, you will have to work at staying the person you are.
Look in the mirror. Fame and fortune deepen corruption, and they empower the wise.
Look in the mirror. What kind of a person do you want to see in there fifteen years from now?

WELCOME TO THE WRITING SITE OF SCOTT APPLETON
"Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones." -Proverbs 16:24
In a world where morality is forsaken and Christ neglected, wholesome books are uncommon. The themes of my writing are love, self-sacrifice, and honor.
I see my generation turning from God to the gods of this world. I see homes torn apart in the pursuit of pleasure and self-gratification. Children are murdered by the millions every year . . . without ever seeing the world outside their mothers' wombs. Through fiction I strive to encourage those who are willing, to stand against these things and be heroes and heroines; chivalrous, gentle, full of righteous indignation, and the fear and love of their Creator.
