i read all of them. the only one with any significant redeeming value was the last one–and it had it’s fair share of problems too.

interestingly enough, ‘magic’ per se does not exist in lotr. art not power, subcreation not tion and tyrannous reforming of creation. what is called ‘magic’ is merely the extension of one’s natural talents, just as some are gifted with cooking or woodworking or writing, so (for instance) beorn has the natural talent of shapeshifting. someone named anwyn wrote a great short essay about this.

Hi , I found your blog today.

I was reading some news about how the King of Bahrain has appointed the Arab World’s first ever Jews ambassador. She wil be going to the United States.

This recalled in my mind Sheba and Dedan from Ez 38. I intreprated the words they said to Magog as being in opposition but when I searched the net , a lot of the commentaries from the past stated that these two countries are giving verbal approval . which i didn’t think was a convicing argument.

And then I found your blog post about it, confirming my thoughts.

Thank you very much!

I like how you said, “Prayer is not something super-spiritual…it is done even in the way we live our lives”. I like that because I agree. I think what God meant is that we don’t always have to be talking to God as in, speaking to Him with out minds. For me, right now, it is impossible for me to be in conversation with God while I’m writing this. I have to stop writing, pray, then come back to it. I honestly think that we can, as you said, pray by the way we live our lives. Or just even a quick thought. I don’t know, I’m just the type to worry about things like this. I tend to think “Uh-oh, I’m not praying right now, am I sinning?” So I stop to pray, “God, please help me to live my life for you more and gain more knowledge from you”. After that, “Uh-oh, I stopped praying, I need to pray again”. And I just can’t pray that much. It would take me away from life, I couldn’t function if I was in a conversation with God at all times. If I was talking to my friend and talking to God about a whole different topic, I’d just go insane. I like how you are trying to figure out what God said, but I just seriously doubt that God meant that we have to constantly be in conversation with Him in our minds. He meant that we should never give up on prayer. Never stop praying because you get bored of it. In heaven we’ll be able to actually accomplish this feat, because we do not have things that need to be done in heaven. I need to do my homework, my chores, my work, and while I’m doing these things I need concentration. I do not know how you live your life if you are constantly praying to God. Unless, like you said, you pray by the way you live, I can understand that.

God bless you too, and may He show us both the truth

Stephen:

I’m not talking about the time that’s involved in terms of texting, etc. I’m talking about the fact that people do that almost effortlessly. And, believe it or not, I was conversing with God as I wrote that response - asking Him to give me wisdom and praising Him that even after almost six years, something I wrote is still challenging people in their walk with Christ. And right now, I’m praying for forgiveness and the grace to overcome my sin. Prayer is not something super-spiritual…it is done even in the way we live our lives. Romans 12:1

God bless,

David

I agree that students get the phone and flip it up to text every now and then in the middle of the test, but texting someone only takes about 30 seconds, it doesn’t mean that students are texting at the EXACT same time as they were taking the test. Were you praying to God as you wrote that reply to me? Because I seriously doubt that you could think that well if you were.
