[ COT ]

  • Name o Rama
  • FNGs?
  • BOM
  • “My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play yet, for good or evil, before this is over.”
  • “I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.”
    • “So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo besides that of Evil. Bilbo was meant to find the ring, in which case you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.”
    • “Oh! It’s that way!”
  • Proverbs 12:21 — “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.”
  • Joshua 24:15 — “But if you refuse to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors  served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the Gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”

A few things:

  • (1) You have some part to play yet — for good or evil. God’s not done with you yet.
  • (2) You have a timeline you’re on. Make the most out of it. You are exactly when and where you’re supposed to be.
  • (3) There are things that are going to happen that we wish didn’t happen. How you respond will make all the difference. There are other forces are work rather than just the ones you see on TV or out in the world.
  • Re-framing things provides direction.
    • Just like Gandalf, when we reframe things, direction will come.
    • The best way to re-frame things and seek direction is Biblically.
