Arrgorn's Reply
'Do we walk in legends or on the green earth in daylight?'
Unmoved Arragorn responds: 'A Man may do both.' (J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of The Rings)
We are caught up in a tremendous struggle.
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (Revelation 12:7-9)
Yet I am a Bookeeper. A Clerk. I do not feel that I am part of anything grand heroic or important on a day to day basis. Yet every once and a while I get an inkling of the Story I have found myself in.
Arragorn knew where he was in the Story. That is why he is a leader of men, he knows who he is.
"Lord Help me to understand where you have placed me and how I fit in your masterplan. Help me to walk in Legends as well as having my feet firmly planted on the Green Earth."
