This was a pretty fascinating tag for the most part.  I was tagged by May Amelia and here are the questions:

2. What is your blog name/URL?
3. Write "The quick brown fox jump's over the lazy dog"
4. Favorite quote
5. Your favorite song
6. Your favorite bands/singers.
7. Anything else you want to say?
8. Tag 3-5 other people.

 Hope you all can see it.  I made it the biggest size for that purpose.

LOTR's tag

I was tagged by JT on a very interesting topic. The LOTR's trilogy is, in my opinion, the best set of movies ever created and the best fantasy books ever written. The Chronicles of Narnia is #2. J.R.R. Tolkien is one of the best authors to step foot on this planet and his world famous trilogy the LOTR's proves it. I will not go into great detail about the life of J.R.R. Tolkien, but he clearly emphasized biblical themes throughout the LOTR's trilogy series. Biblical themes is what makes a fantasy literary series, in my mind, the greatest of all time. Now, on with the tag, about the LOTR's.

Are you a LOTR fanatic?

It depends on what you mean by a fanatic. Am I a die-hard LOTR's fan - I live, sleep, eat and breath LOTR's? Certainly not. Do I love the LOTR's - have watched the movies more than three times, know many facts about the characters and middle earth, and greatly enjoy the books and movies. Yes, of course.

VS

Elves vs. Humans

Of course elves! (it's kind of like saying immortality vs. mortality)

Elves vs. Hobbits

Elves. (Elves take on more of my personality than hobbits)

Elves vs. Dwarves

This is a tough one, since I like both, but elves win again.

Elves vs. Ents

Ditto with JT. Ents beat all.

Humans vs. Hobbits

Tough one. I would have to go with Hobbits.

Humans vs. Dwarves
I would have to say humans on this one.

Humans vs. Ents

No comparison. Ents are the coolest of all creatures.

Hobbits vs. dwarves
Hobbits. I don't like the dwarves.'

Hobbits vs. ents

Are you kidding me? This is not even a challenge anymore.

Ents vs. Dwarves

You already know what I am going to say.

Arwen vs. Eowyn

Eowyn is basically not afraid of anything, while Arwen is a girly girl. Have to go with Eowyn.

Aragorn vs. Legolas

This is the toughest of them all, but I have to go with my favorite character - Aragorn.

Arwen vs. Aragorn
Aragorn, hands down.

Frodo vs. Sam

Frodo. My second favorite character in the books and movies. Sam is the best of all friends, but Frodo had to persevere with taking the Ring to Mordor. Have to give it to Frodo.

Merry vs. Pippin

This is a tough one. I like both of them very much, but Pippin took the Palantir; when Merry tried to stop him. Have to go with Merry.

Elrond vs. Galadriel

Galadriel, hands down.

Faramir vs. Boromir

Faramir, just cause I like him more. (Ditto JT's exact words - those are JT's exacts words).

Eowyn vs. Eomer

Sister vs. Brother. Since Eowyn isn't afraid of anything, I have to go with her over her brother.

Sauron vs. Saruman.

What kind of question is this? Sauron would kill Saruman in a heartbeat.

Rivendell vs. Lothlorien

Lothlorien is more beautiful in my opinion.

Gondor vs. Rohan

The city of Gondor is more manlier than Rohan. Have to go with Gondor.

Well, I hope that you liked this LOTR's tag. It was a bit different, but fun.

I tag anyone else who wants to do it.

I Have Been Tagged!!!!

I have been tagged by Bethany 1 and Bethany 2. Two different young women, who coincidentally have the same name. Since they each have the same name, I will create one tag-a-thon. Here it goes:





A Movie I have Watched:
Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. Excellent movie for those who enjoy the Creation vs. Evolution dilemma.

A New Skill I Acquired:
Running presses at my Dad's shop. It is very fun working with machinery.

One Moment I will Always Remember:
Last Day of the Resolved Conference when C.J. Mahaney and John Piper preached back to back dynamic sermons. A great night that I will never forget.




A Book I have Read:
Living the Cross Centered Life: Keeping the Gospel the Main Thing. By: C.J. Mahaney. Great book for those who want to live in light of the cross of Christ. I highly recommend it.


A New Place(s) I Visited:
Washington D.C. and Philadelphia. My sister and I visited our relatives in Florida. Then, we flew with them to these two tremendous historical sites. I love the history of this nation.

An Inspiring Verse or Quote:
Any benediction or greetings from the epistles of the NT. My favorite:

"Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of His glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
Jude 24-25
