I get really riled up over instances of injustice, even if they don’t concern me personally. I hate it when people are bullied especially by those who wear masks of godliness, who hoodwink those in authority (and so swing popular opinion) by their glib tongues and buttering up. I hate it when those bullied are then defamed by the very people who bully them and excluded from the group.
But the BF reminded me today that we believe in a sovereign omniscient God. And He knows and He judges all in the end. Do not presume to judge but leave room for His wrath.
Oh, to finally arrive on the white shores of that far green country under a swift sunrise…

Pippin: I didn’t think it would end this way.
Gandalf: End? No, the journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path… One that we all must take.
[Pippin listens and watches Gandalf curiously, as he continues. The battle around seems to quiet down]
Gandalf: The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all change to silver glass…
[a light comes into Pippin's face, as a small smile comes into his eyes, as Gandalf looks out into the distance]
Gandalf: …And then you see it.
Pippin: What? Gandalf?… See what?
Gandalf: White shores… and beyond. The far green country under a swift sunrise.
[they both smile as they look at each other]
Pippin: Well, that isn’t so bad.
Gandalf: [softly] No… No it isn’t.
