@defense_of_fam Good advice in our day of brashness on social media

Looking back on the first The Hobbit movie made by Peter Jackson there’s much to love, although the film is flawed.

As I’ve said before, The Hobbit is one of my most cherished books, thanks to it being entertaining and instructive. Of the many good morals taught in the story is the corrupting nature of loving wealth.

@defense_of_fam @Beach_BlueOcean I’m speaking this Sunday and was told to not speak on mothers since it might offend some. It’s ridiculous.

@Bless_ThisMess7 I’m glad he’s made forward progress. It’s such a pervasive problem among men, and sadly growing among women. The church’s ARP program is a tremendous resource for addicts, their spouse, or even a former spouse.

@RykerJackson97 Anyone who’s confident in their own faith won’t try tearing down the faith of another.

[Steven Symes @StevenSymes13]

@defense_of_fam Yes, peace doesn’t come from acquiescing to the ways of the world.

[Steven Symes @StevenSymes13]

@Bless_ThisMess7 I’m so sorry. This is far more common than many will admit. I hope you find comfort with the Savior as well as an eternal perspective.

@houseinhabit I’ve heard teens in public mocking his death. It’s a disturbing trend.

[Steven Symes @StevenSymes13]

@effthealgorithm This is why I read a lot of paper books.

@defense_of_fam @TFloodeen And some feminists promote pornography as “liberating” and “healthy.”

@Everyday_Powers I muted him since he rage baits often.

In continuation of my series of posts about JRR Tolkien’s masterpiece, The Hobbit, I’m focusing on a new aspect of the novel I so love: the problem of success.

@Primary_Pianist @brianjsymes Same. I had a group of kids in middle school harass me for years because they were convinced I was of the devil. They’d watched a certain film their pastor showed them so they were “experts” on my beliefs.

@RoKhanna Why not $300 an hour? Poverty would be decimated, right?

[Steven Symes @StevenSymes13]

There are many great lessons in the pages of The Hobbit written by JRR Tolkien, among them how to deal with adversity in life.

@KintsugiJin I received a stake level calling directly from a high councilor.

@bcbaker66 Honduras was quite dangerous when I was there https://t.co/tO5IFXyPMd

@bcbaker66 Security was a big issue in my mission. I was one of only a few missionaries who wasn’t mugged.
