The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/20/2006 2:10:46 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Until the stars are all alight

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

I have two boxes worth of frap to clear out but it's raining. And a bag of Goodwill... on top of the bag of Rosie's I haven't gotten around to doing yet... I should really go dump those...

And I'm thinking of buying myself a birthday present, precious.

I know. If they'd add an old people's choir, we'd never get a weekend off...

Tomorrow. I think I might get a fm broadcaster so I can listen to the iPod in the car. It might make my upcoming two-day drive more endurable.

FWIW, I spent 9 loooong months of my life in a Fundamentalist Baptist childrens' home. Long story...I'll have to share it during a Moot.

Suffice to say, that stint did more damage to my spiritual walk and relationship with Christ than any other "wordly" influence could have ever done.

Heh...you shared some of that with us at Entmoot as I recall. Bizarre.

They really wouldn't qualify as standard Baptists. Glad you came through that OK...

I understand. I love the Wesleyan-Holiness doctrine and tradition. But along with that has come a lot of legalism that's done irreparable harm to lots of people.

Some of my knee-jerk reactions are the result of that.

I would just mark it "return to sender" and add my frap.

Sorry... meant to be joking... it's just my siblings being a bad influence on me...

I am looking forward to someday a new Hobbit Holer joining who's younger than I am.

hehehe....that's right. I just worry for those kids whose ONLY brush with Jesus was in that place. It would be enough to turn someone off from church forever.

I was fortunate to have a knowledge and healthy foundation re: salvation before setting foot in that place, so I realized which parts they were selling that didn't need buying.
