  • Hi Alan and Shawn, Not sure how to submit this, especially as I’m dashing merrily to get ready for a blessedly Big Family Thanksgiving in the Hershey, PA area with the new family our daughter, Christi, married into last May, but here’s my 125th Birthday appreciation write-up in honor of our beloved JRRT: I love Professor J.R.R. Tolkien as a brother and hold him inawe because his writings strengthen my faith and ennoble my mind with scenes ofvisionary enchantment and honorable characters who stay with me as lifepatterns. Professor Tolkien’s own humble, wholly admirable hobbity life is likea well-suited frame around a magnificent portrait that adorns rather thandetracts from its sublime object.Allacin Morimizu”The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7). https://allacin.blogspot.com/ FREE Illustrated Summaries of Classic Christian Literature
