Journal Entry 5

Personal Symbol

I found it somewhat difficult to come up with a symbol to represent me, so I ended up consulting some of my friends. Finally, I decided on the above symbol of a cross in a heart. My friends are always telling me what a giving, caring, loving person I am, so they thought the heart was a good representation of that. The reason I am such a giving, caring, loving person is my faith in Christ, upon which I try to center everything. Therefore, the cross is in the center of the heart. This symbol also shows that I am a Lutheran because it is the focal point of Luther’s seal.
