I know and understand the gravity of being a Christian and what it means to be one. That doesn't mean I'm perfect; by any means. But I'm starting to see that the habits of a highly effective Christian lifestyle come only from experience. Reading the Word now and again is always good, but understanding IT takes on new meaning.
At the end of the day I am a sinner, and I'm not going to try to convince anyone that I'm not. I struggle with things like the rest of humanity. But I see now that being a Christian is more than just a "good moral habits walk". It's a walk filled with good and bad; a life filled with good habits.
I'm going to make it my mission now to have a life filled with these habits so that looking back i'll know I stood for strength.
The life of hobbits portrayed in the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit (of course) are so based on schedule and routine that it's hard for them to even plan anything. I don't mean in any way to live so routinely that I forget about the world around me, but I want to capture the mindset of that somewhat-driven life; the life of a hobbit... Always looked down upon, but always finding the strength of a Lion; the strength of a KING.
...and yes I wanna live in the Shire.
