Lewis' Life

Just want to take some time to recognize a very intelligent, very amusing comic strip.

Where Should This Blog Go?

READERS: If you are reading, what kind of material would you like to see on here? Do you like the diverse material, or would you prefer to see something strictly Tolkien (back to our original roots)?

Reader or Follower?

Are you followers reading this blog, or just following it? Are you authors authors, or writers? Do you say anything worth saying, AGP? or do you just rant to get your voice on the internet?

Off Topic

I would like to take the time to give a brief apology to our readers. We have gotten way off topic since this blog was founded, and I'm sorry if that causes any confusion. However, our blog description does say that we present the world through Tolkien's eyes. Now, that may be a bit of a false statement, since our eyes are completely different from those of the great Tolkien. But, that doesn't stop us from trying!

You Asked For It

The biggest and most obvious falsiety of the tolerance only movement is that it tolerates absolutely anything and anyone - except Christians and Christianity. And if there are any people of the tolerance movement reading this, they will more than likely be intolerant of this statement.

A Warning

WARNING:
If no one posts anything on here, I shall post my Facebook sayings very soon. You will all go mad if I do that. :-)

Admission of Wrong

Have you ever had to confess a wrong to someone, and ask for forgiveness - and really meant it? You have to give something up, don't you? It is very humbling. It all comes down to the fact that you realize that forgiveness is something you have to ask for, and not something that you own. Forgiveness is something that has to be given by someone.

The Price of Freedom

What if you were guilty of murder and sentenced to death, and someone offered to pay the price for you? Would not that person be worthy of your love?

Looking at Evil with an Evil Lens

Have you ever read J.R.R. Tolkien's "Silmarillion"? Have you ever found yourself looking at the world from the point of view of the evil in it, like Hurin? What good is knowledge of evil if all you see is the evil? Always remember that Christ has triumphed over evil, and that you can, too.

Pleasure and Satisfaction

The more we please ourselves, the less happy we seem to become, and the more convinced we are that we are happy: we become less and less satisfied. Who alone can bring perfect peace in the midst of turmoil? Who alone can bring perfect love in the midst of hatred? Who alone can show perfect mercy while being perfectly just? God satisfies our desire for goodness, because He alone is completely good.
