Hey again! :)

Well in my last entry I wrote about some of my thoughts about the first chapter in The Fellowship of the Ring. I also said I had some more thoughts so I'll share those now.

These are a little shorter than before. :) But as I'm writing I might it longer o-O...so just be prepared. k! :)

My Thoughts On 'Evil in the world and how it relates to the ring'-

"three Rings for the Elven-Kings under the sky,

Seven for the Dwarf-Lords in their halls of stone

Nine for the Mortal Men doomed to die,

one for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

one rings to rule them all, one Ring to find them,

one Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the lord of the rings the ring is a great weapon made in the fires of Mt.Doom.

It was made by evil and is evil. It tempts people and if worn and owned for long enough it will take that person over. it will deform their physical appearance and their mental thoughts.

The ring is similar to the evil in our lives. When we do wrong things so many times and use evil things enough it can consume out lives.

Maybe not changing our physical appearance the same way the rings does, but we have things these days such as piercings, plastic surgery, and cutting. The evil in this world can also change our hearts and minds.

Things like these not only hurt us but they can also hurt others just like Gollum or Frodo (the ring bearers) not only can hurt themselves but they affect the lives of the Dwarfs, Elves, and Men in Middle Earth, even fellow hobbits.

Frodo and Gollum are both rings bearers at different times, but they made different choices in how they dealt with this tempting power.

Gollum kept the ring. He killed someone close to him, ran away from home (and was kinda banished too), forgot his own name in exchange for a new one, and over time was slowly corrupted.

In the end he lost his life to the ring that he held so precious. But it died with him.

Frodo took the responsibility of holding the evil in his hand but not using it (well he did...but you get what I mean ;) ) He travelled far and with help from friends he made it to Mt.Doom and helped destroy the ring. ( I saw helped cause technically he didn't really. )

What do we do with all the temptations in our lives these days? Do we stare at the tv when a bad commercial comes on, or do we change the channel or just turn the tv offf? Do we look through magazines full of junk at the store, or do we turn away and look at our beautiful mom/awesome dad!?

do we hold on to it untill it destroys us? Or do we over come and destroy it?

God gave us a choice.

I pray that the people of this world will choose to over come and destroy.

I pray for those like Bilbo who had the evil in their lives for so long...and I pray that they will make the same decision that he did...and he gave it up.

These are my thoughts.

God Bless,
