The man who has God for his treasure has all things in One...and he has it purely, legitimately, and forever.

What are the marks of the House of Tom Bombadil (The Fellowship of the Ring)?

"Suddenly a wide yellow beam flowed out brightly from a door that was opened. . . . A golden light was all about them."

Light.

"They all hurried forward, hobbits and ponies. Already half their weariness and all their fears had fallen from them."

Rest. Fears calmed.

"'Now let the fun begin! Let us sing together!'"

Fun. Singing.

"'Come dear folk!' Goldberry said, taking Frodo by the hand. 'Laugh and be merry!'"

Laughter and joy.

"Tom clapped his hands and cried: 'Tom, Tom! your guests are tired, and you had near forgotten! Come now, my merry friends, and Tom will refresh you! You shall clean grimy hands, and wash your weary faces!'"

Fresh, felt, cleansing.

"It was a long and merry meal. Though the hobbits ate, as only famished hobbits can eat, there was no lack. The drink in their drinking-bowls seemed to be clear cold water, yet it went to their hearts like wine and set free their voices."

Feasting.

"Tom then told them many remarkable stories, sometimes half as if speaking to himself, sometimes looking at them suddenly with a bright blue eye under his deep brows. Often his voice would turn to song, and he would get out of his chair and dance about. He told them tales of bees and flowers, the ways of trees, and the strange creatures of the Forest, about the evil things and good things, things friendly and things unfriendly, cruel things and kind things, and secrets hidden under brambles."

Stories that sing.

"Whether the morning and evening of one day or of many days had passed Frodo could not tell. He did not feel either hungry or tired, only filled with wonder."

Wonder.

"So much did Tom know, and so cunning was his questioning, that Frodo found himself telling him more about Bilbo and his own hopes and fears than he had told before even to Gandalf."

Honesty.

Light. Rest. Fears calmed. Fun. Singing. Laughter and joy. Fresh, felt, cleansing. Feasting. Stories that sing. Wonder. Honesty.

[Emmet Rogers @EmmetRogers]

@Tjonesonthenba What do you think of Deuce McBride? Think he sticks in the league?

[Jeremy Pryor @jeremympryor]

Build a brotherhood to help you

Refine your ideas
Call you to greatness
Stand by you in hard times
And, occasionally knock you off your high horse

Every man needs brothers.

[Emmet Rogers @EmmetRogers]

@DMoore304 Bahahaha

[Emmet Rogers @EmmetRogers]

@Tjonesonthenba Is the connectedness on defense related more towards effort than anything else? Looks like they’ve tried really hard and communicated really well.

You are always bound to something. Freedom is not the absence or presence of restrictions, but the presence of the right restrictions.

Update: it has been reported that both kids stirred. 😳😂

[Emmet Rogers @EmmetRogers]

Dad life is gently placing your ice cubes into your cup instead of dropping them in, just hoping and praying the kids didn’t wake up when you popped the ice cubes out to begin with. 🙏🏻😂

Not abiding in Christ darkens all of life. Even the bright spots are dimmed.

Abiding in Christ brightens all of life. Even the dark spots are lightened.

All of life takes on a different hue.

[Dane Ortlund @daneortlund]

The Jesus you’re lurking back from is not the real Jesus.

That’s a Jesus you’ve created after your own image without even realizing it.

When you see him for who he is you can’t hold back.

The real Jesus is irresistible.

Reading Scripture in the morning is not like splashing water on your face but like drinking down a glass of it.

It won’t calm and heal us if it is absorbed only at a surface level.

Let’s slow down and enjoy the nourishment.

@MattSmethurst were you just in Beckley, WV?

[Emmet Rogers @EmmetRogers]

Hey look Ma I made it

[Neal Brown @Coach_NealBrown]

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads or anyone serving in that role. There is no greater responsibility! Let’s all make the commitment to be present for our sons and daughters.
