Who hasn’t dreamed of being invisible, either to play a trick or to escape or to get revenge? For greed or power or justice?
Who hasn’t felt invisible, at one time or another?
What if it became real?
What if you dreamed of the power of invisibility, and achieved it at too high a price?
What if you became invisible by accident? What would you do with that power?

These eleven stories explore what it means to fade utterly from view, by choice, by accident, by need, through pain or greed.
Which story could be your story … but for the grace of God?

THE INVISIBLE FILES is an exciting collection of science fiction and fantasy stories from amazing authors, who I’m honored to join with my own science fiction thriller tale. “Hidden in Plain Sight” is about a dangerous invader hidden in an apartment, where only one investigator can find him. Except that the intruder has now become invisible even to him.

This anthology from Ye Olde Dragon Books continues their Classic Monsters series, with a focus on The Invisible Man and the eerie power of remaining unseen. Fun twists on the power of invisibility include stories about ghosts, aliens, and experiments gone wrong.

Father’s Day is this Sunday, and if you’re like me, that means relaxing with a great movie! There are plenty of great movies to celebrate dads, but these are my favorite Father’s Day movie pics, starting with ones for kids and ending with movies geared toward adults. Click the links for trailers! Enjoy!

Finding Nemo

Even clownfish Dads get overprotective, which can lead their kids to rebel. But Nemo’s dad will do whatever it takes to rescue his son, even if it means overcoming his own fears of calamity.

Despicable Me

Not everyone wants to be a dad. Some men just want to steal the moon to boost their supervillain street cred. But when three little girls interrupt his life, he starts to make other plans.

The Mitchells vs. the Machines

When a dad feels he’s losing connection with his eldest daughter, he arranges a final road trip to drive her to her new college, not realizing his plan is driving them further apart. And then, as often happens in families … the machines attack.

Mr. Mom

When a man loses his job and his wife gets a new job first, he takes over her role of running the house, then struggles to figure out how she does it every day, Meanwhile, they both struggle with missing each other and adapting to their reversed roles.

Cheaper by the Dozen

What do you do when you’ve succeeded as a father of twelve kids and your dream career lands in your lap? Followed by your wife’s dream career landing in hers? Enjoy the chaos as the dad tries to run the family with almost no available time while the mom’s away from home on a book tour.

Return of the Jedi or Star Wars Episodes 4-6

In Episode 4, Luke Skywalker seeks to follow in his missing father’s footsteps, and in Episode 5, he learns his father has become his greatest enemy. You can watch the whole trilogy if you want, or just watch Luke’s efforts to redeem his father from evil in Episode 6, Return of the Jedi.

Superman, the Movie

A personal favorite, of an alien father sending his son to Earth to escape his dying planet, to become the kindhearted superhero we all know and love. My favorite scene is the father-son moment when his adoptive father encourages him to hold out to discover his true purpose in life.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Fathers and sons don’t always see eye-to-eye, which becomes hazardous when Nazi soldiers keep shooting at both of them. Hilarious fun and adventure with a sweet family ending.

A Simple Twist of Fate

An embittered man gets a new lease on life when an orphaned toddler wanders into his life. Until her wealthy birth father suddenly decides to take her back in her teen years, and the man must fight to continue raising her.

Dad

A man puts his life on hold to help his elder father adjust after his mother is hospitalized, as he realizes that he now needs to take care of his dad.

Regarding Henry

A bullet in the head is all it takes to turn a callous attorney into a new husband and dad who learns to start life over on his own terms, with his family first.

Taken

Here’s where being an overprotective dad comes in handy, when an ex-spy does whatever it takes to save his daughter after she’s been captured by human traffickers in Europe.

The devotional I was reading was geared toward writers. I’ve never read a “writer-focused” devotional before, but the truth that inspired me isn’t just for writers. It’s for anyone who’s trying to accomplish something, or who’s simply trying to get through life.

Here’s an excerpt from the devotional, called, Let There Be Writing by Holley Gerth.

At the time I’m writing this, over eight billion people inhabit the earth. Imagine all those fingerprints and eyelashes. No two people have the exact same laugh, the same sigh, the same freckles. No one else has your voice, either.

It’s easy to look at a world full of words and think yours aren’t needed. Hasn’t it all been said before? The themes we write about are as old as history itself. Every generation has something to say about love, heartbreak, healing, faith, and the journey of being human. But what’s new, what has never existed before, is you.

I often hear that all the stories that exist have already been written. We writers are only re-telling the same basic stories, with different details thrown in.

That’s true, but what’s different – and brand new – is that we’re telling that story to a new audience, living in a new environment with new questions and challenges in life.

And most of all, what’s different is us. The way we think and communicate is unique. I might write stories in a similar way as some other writers, but it won’t be exactly the same. My stories are not duplicates of any other writer’s stories. They’re brand new, coming from a brand new person behind the laptop.

My thoughts and feelings and the way I express them are as individual as a snowflake or a retinal eye pattern. No one else is like me.

And no one else is like you.

That neighbor who feels lonely might not feel accepted by anyone, until you befriend them with your unique sense of humor and your way of showing you care.

That problem at your workplace might not get fixed until you approach it with your fresh perspective and proactive methods.

That recipe, or engine job, or performance piece, might not really shine until you add your suggestion or finishing touch to the work.

You matter.

What you do matters.

Who you are matters.

Whether or not you celebrate Christmas, it’s a time when many of us remember that God loved us enough to become one of us. God considers each of us worthwhile, and worth spending time with. So much so that he wanted to share our human condition, calling himself “Emmanuel”, which literally means, “God with us.”

You matter to God. And you matter to the people around you, even if they don’t always say it or recognize it. As we learned from the film, It’s a Wonderful Life:

“Each man’s life touches so many other lives. When he isn’t around he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?”

I hope you have a great holiday season. And I hope you get some quiet time to relax and realize that you are valuable. In fact, you are vital to the people around you, and to the time and place you’re living in.

And I’m glad you’re here.

Merry Christmas!

Keep believing!

In the film, Tommy Boy, we meet Tommy Callahan, Jr., who has finally graduated college after seven years, passing his final class with a D. In the academic world, he’s not too impressive.

He returns home to greet his father, “Big Tom” Callahan, who runs the family business, selling brake pads. Big Tom is pushing hard to make a comeback during tough times, assuring the bank they just need a small loan so they can sell their brand new brake pads to ensure their company’s success. Now that Tommy Boy has a degree, Big Tom gives him his own office so he can start learning how to one day run the company himself.

Then Big Tom dies. Leaving Tommy Boy confused, with his life and future in question, not to mention his father’s company.

Tommy Boy hits the road with sales expert Richard to sell their new brake pads and get the company funded. But he knows nothing about sales, and he’s failing miserably. His life is a wreck, his skills are minimal, and everyone in his father’s company is depending on him to bring in money, but he hasn’t made even one sale.

Tommy Boy’s life stinks.

He and Richard stop at a restaurant for a bite to eat and he asks the waitress for some chicken wings, but the fryer’s already shut down. She’s not interested in doing anything extra to get Tommy Boy some wings. It’s clear from her face that she has her own daily problems to deal with.

So Tommy tells her about his horrible day, and his horrible situation. He explains what a horrible salesman he is, and how he fails at every turn. Then he tells her, “That’s when people like us have gotta forge ahead, Helen. Am I right?”

She decides to get the fryer turned back on to give him some wings. Why? Because Tommy Boy recognized her as a fellow worker, struggling through life just like he was. He saw her as a person of value, dealing with the same hardships he was facing. And Helen also recognized that they shared the same struggle, and decided to help out a fellow human being.

I read a great analysis of the film, It’s a Wonderful Life, identifying that it’s not a cheesy story about an angel helping a disappointed guy enjoy Christmas. It’s about a man, struggling through the worst aspects of life imaginable. A man who struggled to help others his whole life, only to end up in danger of being arrested and shamed, under false accusations of embezzlement.

In the film, George Bailey’s life is over. He can never pay what’s owed, and he can’t save or protect his family that he loves. He can’t even save himself. When he decides his life insurance policy is worth more to his family than he himself is, he prepares to commit suicide. To give up on life in order to escape his unsolvable problem and keep his family supported.

An angel appears to him and ends up showing him the true value of his life. He shows him how much others need him, despite the difficult struggles he suffers to help others. But the angel shows George that his struggles are worth it.

That’s what Christmas is about. God knew we could never measure up to him, since he did not sin, and we can’t stop sinning. So he came to Earth himself, making himself like us – a human baby named Jesus, also called Immanuel, which means “God with us.” He came to be one of us, to share in our human struggle. To show the way to connect with God, by believing in Jesus and accepting his sacrifice as full payment for our sins. We could never pay the debt for our sins, but Jesus could, and did.

But it wouldn’t mean anything if he didn’t first see us, acknowledge us, and share our struggles. He didn’t come in glory, with trumpets blaring and a red carpet laid out for his feet. He came as the lowest of the low, without even a comfortable place to be born.

Instead of being born in a royal palace, Jesus was born in a barn, in an animal trough. God didn’t come to us as he was – the King of the universe. He didn’t come as a leader, or a rock star, or a major influencer. He came as a nobody, and his arrival was barely noticed. He lived with his parents and learned to obey and honor them, not starting his ministry or miracles until he was thirty years old. He never married, never traveled far, never made a fortune, never published a book, and never ran a huge company.

But his simple, struggling life changed the world, and provided the way for us to connect to God.

People don’t always need a pastor, or a psychiatrist, or a professor. Sometimes people just need someone like you and me, sharing in their struggles, ready to connect with them and encourage them to keep going, because you see and share their same hardships.

When you see people who need encouragement, consider that you might be exactly the right person to encourage them, no matter what your professional skill set is.

Because sometimes what people really need is someone struggling through life, just like they are. Just like you and me.

Am I right, Helen?
