The Thinking-Blogger Award

We were awarded the Thinking Blogger Award by Jocelyndixon.  (The Thinking Blogger award is given by one person to five different bloggers whom they feel write posts that make their readers think.  These five bloggers each give the award to five other bloggers.) We are very grateful to Jocelyn for this award.  She also has been a very sweet friend to both of us. 

 

We have decided to pass the Thinking-Blogger award to the following wonderful bloggers: (These aren't the only good bloggers but we are only allowed to choose five and these are the ones who came to mind first.)

Sylvia\Aldawen\totustuus from Welcome To My Kingdom - Sylvia writes her ideas and views on life in a courteous and gentle way.  She is not afraid to voice her opinions but she doesn't write in a way that will offend people and she doesn't get offended by others who disagree with her views.  She is a sweet and thoughtful blogger.

Sarah Clarkson from Take Joy- Sarah has a very beautiful blog where she writes about different poets, authors and artists, shares quotes, and gives us a peek into her life and thoughts.  

David Boskovic from One Way Purpose -  David writes very moving and powerful articles that truly grip readers and inspire the teens of this generation to live purposefully and make something out of their lives.

Josh Dasher from The Uneducated Homeschooler- Josh has a blog full of deep ideas that make readers think about things in new ways.  Plus, he writes great poetry at his xanga site.   

Hannah Michelle -  Hannah posts wonderful things to encourage and assist young ladies (and gentlemen) in their daily walk with God.  Her blog is a truly inspiring spot in cyberspace. 

With you on the Quest,

Frodo

PS I LOVE the version of Into The West on your blog. Where did you get it?? I prefer "Yulia" to Annie Lennox by far. I'll have to look her up on google.

Well, after much thought I decided not to endorse this award..
Why? because the original site is *very* secular! Anyway, I am going to be posting another award similar... just check soon!

Love,
Jocelyn

Hello Frodo & Legolas,
Sorry I haven't commented in so long. I've been way to busy.
I've heard of that award before, but haven't taken much time to look at it.
I hope you have a nice day.
Love to hear from you,
Rose

Our Quest

"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us..." GANDALF

The purpose of this blog is to record the ideas that are most important to us. We are two sisters who choose to go by the names of Frodo and Legolas. You will find poems and quotes, narrations and pictures from our favorite sources that have inspired us to use the time that has been given to us to the best of our ability. We hope you will enjoy the journey there and back again....

Frodo and Legolas

tolkien

The Myth

"The value of the myth is that it
takes all the things we know and
restores to them the rich
significance which has been hidden
by the veil of familiarity . . .
By putting bread, gold, horse, apple
or the very roads into a myth,
we do not retreat from reality:
we rediscover it. As long as the
story lingers in our mind,
the real things are more themselves.
[The Lord of the Rings]
applies the treatment not only
to bread or apple but to good and evil,
to our endless perils, our anguish
and our joys. By dipping them in myth
we see them more clearly. I do not
think [Tolkien] could have done it
in any other way.”
- C.S. Lewis

And we come to end of days
In the dark I hear a call
Calling me there
