Shining Lights

   To my surprise, a classmate presented me with a SpongeBob flashlight. It happened during a writing workshop. Why SpongeBob? The cartoon character is mentioned in a novel that I am writing.
   After returning home, I aimed the flashlight at the head of Sir Thomas More. He's depicted in a painting inside my office.
   More's face reveals a man of conviction. He refused to swear an oath of supremacy to King Henry VIII. Because of More's steadfastness, the king ordered Moore's death.
    Some people make lasting and positive impressions. Thomas More reminded me about the importance of following one's conscience. My classmate demonstrated the impact of thoughtfulness.
   Spongebob will occupy a spot on my bookshelf.
