On this day in history...2003

The epic adventure of Frodo and Sam concludes on the big screen in the opening night of the movie 'Return of the King'. The same name as the final book in the trilogy, 'Lord of the Rings' written by J.R.R. Tolkien back in the 60's. He was key in leading C.S. Lewis to the Lord and they both shared each others literary creations as they were forming; Tolkien's, Lord of the Rings, and Lewis's, Chronicles of Narnia.


I suggest a little book called 'Finding God in the Lord of the Rings' to all the LOTR fans out there. It doesn't read spirituality into the story where Tolkien never wanted it. It's an eye opener to the contrasting world in which we now find ourselves. 'We cannot choose the time we live in. We can only choose what we do with the time we are given.'

On this day in 2005 John Wallen and family went to view The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe, which has been out for one week.
