@mrdavidrowe I couldn't see the actual numbers. Just was guessing based on the size of the bars. But if younger folks are 3:1 and older are only 2:1 that's interesting.
Maybe those older folks are wise enough to know age doesn't guarantee wisdom. π
@mrdavidrowe As someone who has had to wear glasses since I was 10 years old, I can't imagine ever wanting to by choice. I suppose the grass is always greener.
@mrdavidrowe Similarly, almost all of us are meant to be a Sam to someone. There's not the main character thrill in being a support or a wingman, but it's no less important to the mission.

@mrdavidrowe I meant it really as a joke. Bilbo would likely have been the only one present who had experienced Smaug, and I presume Gandalf knew his friend well enough to understand if it would impact him.
@mrdavidrowe Did Gandalf ever consider the psychological impact his incendiary devices might have had on those who had been traumatized by the horrors of Smaug?
@BethMooreLPM Praying for you that you will be encouraged, renewed and strengthened in your faith (though it was already strong). As I've experienced all 3 of those from your posts over the years.
