No, A Big One!

This is Daniel's say of saying:

- He wants more macaroni (or any other food) on his fork

- He wants the music/TV volume turned up

- He wants the paper airplane his father has made him to fly farther

- He wants you to dance faster

- He wants the water in the bathtub faucet to be coming out faster.

Usually this is shrieked. And sometimes it comes out in Spanglish: "NO, un big one!"


Maybe this is a nutty idea, but I'm going to try it. JRR Tolkien was a Christian. And although God or Jesus or Christianity is never mentioned in the LOTR books, I think it is worth a shot to read them and see what Biblical concepts or verses or anything I can find. My own version of "Finding God in the Lord of the Rings." There is the obvious stuff, like Frodo bearing evil to save the earth, and Aragorn as the returning king, but I'm sure there is a lot more stuff in there that's more subtle. I'm going to give it a shot & see.


And, here is the requisite picture....
