One of these days we'll break down and buy the BluRay. Or maybe we'll wait for the interactive version so we can sit next to Gandalf on the eagle. :-)<br /><br />Thank you Traci for your thoughts. I agree that the movies make the books better. I read the books 25 years ago. They were tough to get through. You're inspiring me to read them again!From Carol's Quillhttp://fromcarolsquill.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6059703145604803817.post-24609116264437847122011-06-04T10:03:29.219-07:002011-06-04T10:03:29.219-07:00Carol, this is a wonderful post!

I love those images from the LOTR movies too; the triumph and freedom embodied in those soaring eagles makes my spirit soar.<br /><br />There are so many passages in Isaiah that speak to me, and my pastor favors the verses out of Isaiah 55 which remind us that God's thoughts and ways are higher than ours.<br /><br />As for the LOTR movies, I enjoy how they brought the books to life. Truth to tell, I didn't read the books until after I'd seen the movies. Watching the films made it easier to read the stories because I could visualize what I was reading. <br /><br />Victor, if you haven't rented the videos yet, you should. The movies are a bit longer than typical features, but they are so worth watching.Traci Bhttp://tracibonney.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6059703145604803817.post-77414845996601507562011-06-01T12:18:57.310-07:002011-06-01T12:18:57.310-07:00@ MGalloway - God surely orchestrates things to pr...@ MGalloway - God surely orchestrates things to provide the words we need to hear exactly when we need to hear them.

In fact, I remember asking one day in prayer what to do next. For a week straight, these verses kept coming up in Bible studies, on the radio, in books, etc. The basic message was that I needed to wait, and well...I'm glad I did because only God could see the larger picture.MGallowayhttp://www.michaelgalloway.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6059703145604803817.post-61202956955321868442011-06-01T08:45:04.979-07:002011-06-01T08:45:04.979-07:00@ VT - Oh, I love Narnia and Star Trek, too.

Isn't it wonderful words contain such power?<br /><br />The Christian symbolism in LOTR that most moves me comes at the end of the book. When Frodo enters the ship to sail away, I always cry like a baby. He leaves his friends and life behind to go to a better place. I cry for the sorrowing of his friends and, yet, I also cry for the happiness he will find. I am crying now just thinking about it.

I say *probably* because the Bible contains the words of life, and, so, it is difficult to choose just one favorite. *Lord of the Rings* is probably my favorite book (I know there are three books, yet they all make up one story). Very encouraging post--love it!Sheila Hollingheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364884603434329050noreply@blogger.com
