Today was one of the worst days I’ve had in the past year. Terrible things compounded in on each other. For some reason, Frodo and Gandalf’s conversation came to me from the Lord of the Rings. At that point, Frodo turns to Gandalf and wishes he never had to carry this burden. That the ring… Continue reading “So do all who live to see such times…”
