Only the Weak
Only the weak shall survive the race.
I was thinking about Lord of the Rings the other day and kind of reflecting about how it all ends. Had it not been for the frailty of those in the cave the ring would never have been destroyed.  In the end we find that even though between Frodo and Sam the strength was found to get the ring all the way to get to Mount Doom none had the strength to actually cast the ring into the fires and destroy it. It is only when we realize that we do not have the strength that we can step out of the way long enough to allow the work God has planned for us to be accomplished. Even though most of us will never be standing in a volcanic mountain with the choice before us to destroy the worlds evil once and for all or hold onto what has become precious to us, we are all daily faced with struggles that would destroy anything less than the strength of our God. Unfortunately if you’re anything like me you like to look back and reflect upon such events and take the credit for being so strong.
I don’t really have any “point” to this story… I was just saying. I’ve got in my drafts a blog entry that could have been spun off of this in the middle that actually does have a point, but I’ll just post it later.
