I Love Tolkien
In 'The Fellowship of
the Ring' (book), Gandalf tells Bilbo, concerning the Ring, 'It has got
far too much hold on you. Let it go! And then you can go yourself, and
be free.'

Wow. Now is that sin or what? 'It has much hold on you. Let it go!' Sin has a hold on us. But we are the ones who have to let it go. It is up to us. We can only be free when we turn our back on it. It only has a hold on us if we let it have a hold. We Must Let Sin Go!!!

i love that part
LOVE this!
so true
I had another thought, but it's not that thought-out (hehe): the ring makes you invisible, right? Doesn't sin make you want to hide? I am notorious for wanting to hide. Hmm, what's that say? Better work on this letting go thing.
i hadn't thought of that, but that's a good analogy
