But lucky for him, Dr. Jill Biden was there, and she is a doctor.</p> <p>"We need a doctor here!" cried a waiter. "Is there a doctor in the house?"Dr. Jill Biden sprang into action. "I'm a doctor!" she said, rushing over. "I'm going to need a podium and a microphone, stat!" After a busboy hurried over with the life-saving tools she would need, Dr. Jill Biden thanked him and then began delivering a speech on meeting students' needs at the community college level.</p> <p>An op-ed in the Wall Street Journal by Joseph Epstein <a href= "https://www.npr.org/2020/12/13/946068319/op-ed-urging-jill-biden-to-drop-the-dr-sparks-outrage-online"> sparked a debate</a> over calling Jill Biden a “doctor” since she is not a medical doctor but has a doctorate in education.</p> <p>"Madame First Lady — Mrs. Biden — Jill — kiddo," the piece begins. "Any chance you might drop the 'Dr.' before your name? 'Dr. Jill Biden' sounds and feels fraudulent, not to say a touch comic."</p> <p>Epstein went on to argue that the prestige of doctorates and honorary degrees has been diminished by political correctness and the relaxation of academic standards before urging Biden to "forget the small thrill of being Dr. Jill, and settle for the larger thrill of living for the next four years in the best public housing in the world as First Lady Jill Biden."</p> <p>Conservative pundits pointed to the episode as an example of what they say is a quickness on the part of the political left to be offended. </p> <p>"I'm sorry. Telling a white lady in her late 60s that she should stop calling herself doctor because she is not an actual medical doctor, that is not sexist. It's not," commentator Ben Shapiro</p> <p>Hillary Clinton tweeted: Her name is Dr. Jill Biden. Get used to it.</p> <p>Lots of politicos on Twitter were changing their bio and hilarity ensued.</p> <p>Story 2 - <a href= "https://babylonbee.com/news/heres-an-exclusive-inside-look-at-15-new-star-wars-shows"> The Babylon Bee Presents An Exclusive Inside Look At 15 Upcoming Star Wars Shows</a></p> <p>Summary: Disney announced about 7,562 new Star Wars shows yesterday.

We think. We’re not really sure since we’ve all been locked inside our homes since last spring. Anyway, now is the time when Ring Before Spring takes over all the Bible colleges and young men start proposing left and right. Some of our readers might be wondering: how should I propose to my girlfriend? We asked love experts like Gary Chapman, our youth pastor, and Joshua Harris, and compiled these ten tips for proposing to your woman. </p> <p>Real Story: Top ten list in the link.

Emanuel Cleaver, D-Missouri, minister at the St. James United Methodist Church, a prayer made in the name of “the monotheistic god, Brahma, and god known by many names by many different faiths,” which ended with AMEN and A-WOMAN.</p> <p>Amen is not gendered. It is from Hebrew and means It means “it is so” or “so it be.” Amen is derived from the Hebrew āmēn, which means “certainty,” “truth,” and “verily.”</p> <p>Other ways on which Rep.

<p>From the heart of the Shire, through the depths of Moria, to the ends of Middle-Earth, it’s The Babylon Bee Reads <em>The Lord Of The Rings</em>! In this episode of The Babylon Bee Reads, Kyle and Dan dive into the book, beginning as most books do, in Chapter 1, with <em>A Long Expected Party</em>. There’s a birthday party of special magnificence, a place worth fighting for, and a wizard puttering down the road with fireworks. There’s something very wrong in Hobbiton though.</p> <p>Be sure to check out <a href="http://youtube.com/thebabylonbee">The Babylon Bee YouTube Channel</a> for more podcasts, podcast shorts, animation, and more.</p> <p>To watch or listen to the full podcast, become a subscriber at <a href= "https://babylonbee.com/plans">https://babylonbee.com/plans</a>.</p> <p>We answer your comments and questions in the subscriber portion. </p> <p>Episode 2: A Long-Expected Party</p> <p>Opening line: <em>When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk and excitement in Hobbiton.</em></p> <p>The subtle magic of Middle-Earth: Bilbo is 111 years old. Frodo/Bilbo having same birthday. Theme of fate introduced.</p> <p>The depiction of the Shire -- a foil for the rest of the adventure’s rising danger.</p> <p>The Shire gives us a place worth fighting for.</p> <p>Gandalf arrives -- we have an instigating event, a catalyst. (Kyle’s G rune tattoo mentioned). Fireworks! Such simple pleasures.</p> <p>Foreshadowing of ill effects of Bilbo’s ring and treasure -- and Bilbo’s planned trick.</p> <p>This chapter never managed to hook my older boys, but I wonder if I tried again at their ages -- 12 and 10 -- they would become interested. It’s a good hook. I suppose it helps if you’ve read The Hobbit. This may be the quintessential example of something where the previous book helps but is still absolutely unnecessary to read to understand.</p> <p>The foreboding ending is perfect: “Frodo saw him to the door. He gave a final wave of his hand, and walked off at a surprising pace; but Frodo thought the old wizard looked unusually bent, almost as if he was carrying a great weight. The evening was closing in, and his cloaked figure quickly vanished into the twilight. Frodo did not see him again for a long time.”</p>

Hordes of the anti-Calvinist protesters stormed the gates of heaven before angels were forced to fall back and barricade the throne room.</p> <p> </p> <p>"Down with the predestined, sovereign election of God!" cried one man from Florida as he burst into the throne room wearing a buffalo hat. "This whole thing is rigged! Divine interference!"</p> <p>Arminians were seen scaling the walls of heaven. One managed to hang a "Who is able to resist His will?" banner on the gates of the place, while others busted in and started roaming the streets of gold looking for the Lord's throne room. A few made it in but were instantly killed by being in the presence of the Almighty God, sparking further protests.</p> <p>There was very little looting, though a few Chick-fil-A sandwiches were taken.</p> <p>At publishing time, Arminians had suggested the protesters were actually Calvinists disguised as Arminians to make them look bad. Calvinists say there is no proof of this as most of the protesters had neither beards nor smug looks on their faces.</p> <p> </p> <p>The Real Story: Oh wait, the capitol building got stormed too? The capitol building was stormed, presumably by pro-Trump fanatics who think the 2020 election was rigged. </p> <p>-A man in a buffalo hat was there and another man walked off with a podium. One man ransacked Nancy Pelosi’s office. </p> <p>-Also, in related news, The Babylon Bee slack channel simply titled #Theology because #ArguingAboutCalvinism was too long, has kicked off with many fiery screeds about free will, election, predestination, and the love of God.</p> <p>-Imagine if Trump had won, none of this would have happened. this is Antifa at the capitol:</p> <p>-Antifa leader “Brothers, fret we may, but a fair election has ended and we must accept the results, though they were not in our favor.

<p>From the heart of the Shire, through the depths of Moria, to the ends of Middle-Earth, it’s The Babylon Bee Reads <em>The Lord Of The Rings</em>! In this episode of The Babylon Bee Reads, Kyle and Dan are joined by Jonathan Watson, creator alongside his two friends of <a href="https://www.theonering.com/">TheOneRing.Com</a>, which can also be followed on <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/theoneringcom">Facebook</a>. Kyle, Dan, and Jon are on a quest to joyfully dig through Chapter 2, <em>The Shadow Of The Past</em>, which gives us plenty of exposition about the one ring, the stirring forces of evil in Middle-Earth and explains why Frodo is no longer safe in the Shire.</p> <p>Be sure to check out <a href="http://youtube.com/thebabylonbee">The Babylon Bee YouTube Channel</a> for more podcasts, podcast shorts, animation, and more.</p> <p>To watch or listen to the full podcast, become a subscriber at <a href= "https://babylonbee.com/plans">https://babylonbee.com/plans</a>.</p> <p>Chapter 2 - The Shadow of the Past</p> <p>Frodo is an oddity like Bilbo was and becomes restless.</p> <p>He continues celebrating Bilbo’s birthday and shows signs of <em>‘good preservation’</em> even as he approaches age 50 the same age when Bilbo left on his journey. </p> <p>Tolkien is telling history before it happens (the developing of his myth like Mad Baggins)</p> <p>We hear about his close friends... Fredegar Bolder and Folco Boffin are mentioned but Merry and Pippin are closest and are anxious about him as Frodo takes to taking long walks farther away from home in the hills under the stars and becoming obsessed with maps and dreaming of mountains he has never seen before. <em>“The old paths seemed too well-trodden”</em></p> <p>Frodo is seeing the elves going west as they leave M-E for good. And dwarves are coming west to the Blue Mountains. They provide a lot of news from outside the Shire... </p> <p>Ominous tidings. </p> <p><em>“They were troubled, and some spoke in whispers of the Enemy and of the Land of Mordor.” the evil power in Mirkwood had been driven out by the White Council only to reappear in greater strength in the old strongholds of Mordor. The Dark Tower had been rebuilt, it was said. From there the power was spreading far and wide, and away far east and south there were wars and growing fear. Orcs were multiplying again in the mountains. Trolls were abroad, no longer dull-witted, but cunning and armed with dreadful weapons. And there were murmured hints of creatures more terrible than all these, but they had no name.”</em></p> <p>Gandalf hasn’t been seen for 9 years, after a time of coming and going and being concerned about Frodo’s health (what does he suspect?), and just as well since the people of the Shire suspect he had something to do with Bilbo going mad and disappearing</p> <p>"'I wish it need not have happened in my time,' said Frodo.</p> <p>'So do I,' said Gandalf, 'and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.'" </p> <p>The discussion of the fall and corruption of Smeagol and a discussion on the pity of Bilbo.</p> <p>The depiction of Sméagol not being wholly ruined.</p> <p>A discussion of fate in <em>The Lord of the Rings</em>: Bilbo was meant to find the ring and Frodo was meant to have it. Wills of secondary agents.<em>Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. I have not much hope that Gollum can be cured before he dies, but there is a chance of it. And he is bound up with the fate of the Ring. My heart tells me that he has some part to play yet, for good or ill, before the end; and when that comes, the pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many – yours not least.</em></p> <p>We get introduced to Samwise Gamgee w/ the convo at The Green Dragon at Bywater!! (<em>He believes in “fairies” or at least dragons and ents</em>)</p> <p>Has a love for elves and has a childlike wonder about the world nurtured by Bilbo’s stories.</p> <p>“I dare say there’s more truth in some of them than you reckon.”</p> <p>G.K. Chesterton wrote about the importance of fairytales as did Lewis and Tolkien… “Fairytales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairytales tell children that dragons can be killed.”</p> <p>Frodo seems to have some trust issues with Gandalf.</p> <p><em>You say the ring is dangerous, far more dangerous than I guess.</em></p> <p>It would overcome anyone of mortal race. The ring would possess the possessor</p> <p>‘A mortal, Frodo, who keeps one of the Great Rings, does not die, but he does not grow or obtain more life, he merely continues, until at last every minute is a weariness. And if he often uses the Ring to make himself invisible, he fades: he becomes in the end invisible permanently, walks in the twilight under the eye of the Dark Power that rules the Rings. Yes, sooner or later – later, if he is strong or well-meaning to begin with, but neither strength nor good purpose will last – sooner or later the Dark Power will devour him.’</p> <p>The ring can also shrink or expand at will to slip of a finger if it wanted.</p> <p>Gandalf began to think something odd about it right when Bilbo found it and lied about winning the ring from Gollum. He talks about Saruman and whether Bible will be harmed. He voluntarily gave up the ring!</p> <p>Among the Wise I am the only one that goes in for hobbit-lore: an obscure branch of knowledge, but full of surprises. Soft as butter they can be, and yet sometimes as tough as old tree roots.</p> <p>Greatness vs Morality</p> <p> Subscriber Portion</p> <p>Mail-bo Baggins!</p> <p>Jonathan’s take on the Movie adaptations </p> <p><a href= "https://www.theonering.com/complete-list-of-film-changes/general-changes/"> Movie Differences</a></p>

<p>From the heart of the Shire, through the depths of Moria, to the ends of Middle-Earth, it’s The Babylon Bee Reads <em>The Lord Of The Rings</em>! In this episode of The Babylon Bee Reads, Kyle and Dan are joined by Jonathan Watson, creator alongside his two friends of <a href="https://www.theonering.com/">TheOneRing.Com</a>, which can also be followed on <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/theoneringcom">Facebook</a>. Kyle, Dan, and Jon continue their fellowship in reading through The Fellowship of the Ring, this time in Chapter 3 <em>Three’s Company</em>, where three hobbits encounter black riders and elves in their very own Shire.  </p> <p>Be sure to check out <a href="http://youtube.com/thebabylonbee">The Babylon Bee YouTube Channel</a> for more podcasts, podcast shorts, animation, and more.</p> <p>To watch or listen to the full podcast, become a subscriber at <a href= "https://babylonbee.com/plans">https://babylonbee.com/plans</a>.</p> <p>The story so far: The Shadow of the past summary- Gandalf has told Frodo all about The Ring and that he is no longer safe in the Shire. Samwise is recruited to accompany Frodo.</p> <p>In this chapter:</p> <p>Frodo has to slip out of the Shire unnoticed so he hatches a plan of pretending to move to a new house in Crickhollow beyond/near Buckland where his Brandybuck side lives while the plan is really to make for Rivendell.</p> <p>Plans to leave on his 50th birthday</p> <p>Life lesson: “What is to be my quest? Bilbo went to find a treasure, there and back again; but I go to lose one, and not return, as far as I can see.’ ‘But you cannot see very far,’ said Gandalf.</p> <p>Something spooks Gandalf who leaves suddenly to try to get news/ he tells Frodo to not use the ring! He promises to be back in time for the birthday party and to set off with Frodo (this does not happen- dang wizards).</p> <p>Frodo’s wine is not included in the sale of Bag End to the dreaded S.-B.s. and does not offer her any tea when Lobelia comes with an inventory list.</p> <p>Frodo leaves for a leisurely night hike to set out with Sam and Pippin and hears unpleasant voice asking about him at the Gamgees. They get their packs and Sam says farewell to the beer barrel in the cellar.</p> <p>Sam’s character: ‘I am sure you have given me all the heaviest stuff,’ said Frodo. ‘I pity snails, and all that carry their homes on their backs.’ ‘I could take a lot more yet, sir.

<p>Frodo, Sam, and Pippin continue trekking through the Shire in this week’s The Babylon Bee Reads <em>The Lord Of The Rings</em> with Kyle and Dan joined by Jonathan Watson from <a href= "https://www.theonering.com/">The One Ring</a>, an online <a href= "https://www.theonering.com/fellowship">fellowship</a> as well as a place for cool Middle-Earth maps and articles. We discover Farmer Maggot, some black riders, and the shortcut to mushrooms. </p> <p>Note: We had to salvage the audio on this episode after running into several separate production issues, but the discussion is good and we hope you still enjoy it.</p> <p>Chapter summary: Frodo, Sam, and Pippin make for Bucklebury after spending the night at a wooden hall where they were hosted by the elves led by Gildor Inglorion. Frodo worries about taking his friends into danger or exile. Sam states his loyalty to Frodo no matter what. Frodo and Pippin banter. They decide to stay just off the road so they won’t be spotted on the road by Black Riders and cut straight across the country to Bucklebury Ferry bypassing Stock, crossing the Stock-brook and missing the <em>Golden Perch’s</em> fine beer. Sam spots a rider behind them at the top of the green bank from where they climbed down right when they start debating going back because of difficult terrain. They hear the Nazgul cries and cut across open ground until they come to more orderly lands and ultimately Farmer Maggot’s lands. Frodo is distressed because he was a mushroom thief and terrified of the farmer’s dogs. The farmer was just getting his dogs out due to a black rider being suspicious on his lands. He brings them in and feeds them and gives them good ale on tap and gets them to Bucklebury Ferry.</p> <p>The banter between Frodo and Pippin.</p> <p>Pippin didn’t want to leave Frodo any breakfast but Sam insisted.</p> <p>“I don’t want to answer a sting of questions while I am eating. I want to think!” “Good heavens! At Breakfast?”</p> <p>“Short cuts make long delays” “All right!” I will follow you into every bog and ditch! But it is hard! I had counted on passing the <em>Golden Perch</em> at Stock before sundown! The best beer in the Eastfarthing…”  “That settles it!’ said Frodo. “Short cuts make delays, but inns make longer ones.”</p> <p>The stout loyalty of Sam</p> <p>‘If you don’t come back, sir, then I shan’t, that’s certain,’ said Sam. ‘Don’t you leave him! they said to me. Leave him! I said. I never mean to. I am going with him, if he climbs to the Moon; and if any of those Black Riders try to stop him, they’ll have Sam Gamgee to reckon with, I said. They laughed.’ … way. I know we are going to take a very long road, into darkness; but I know I can’t turn back. It isn’t to see Elves now, nor dragons, nor mountains, that I want – I don’t rightly know what I want: but I have something to do before the end, and it lies ahead, not in the Shire. I must see it through, sir, if you understand me.’</p> <p>Special Elf Drink</p> <p>“When they came to make their meal, they found that the Elves had filled their bottles with a clear drink, pale golden in colour: it had the scent of a honey made of many flowers, and was wonderfully refreshing. Very soon they were laughing, and snapping their fingers at rain, and at Black Riders. The last few miles, they felt, would soon be behind them.”</p> <p>They start singing louder and louder and the evil and lonely sounding black riders begin to cry to one another. CREEPY</p> <p>Farmer Maggot</p> <p>A Black Rider had been asking the Farmer about Baggins right before they showed up. Gives advice to stay in Buckland, not get mixed up with those weird Hobbiton folk like Bilbo and says if the Black Rider comes back, he’ll deal with him! They get supper, ale, and a dark ride to the ferry and a basket of mushrooms.MAILBAG</p> <p>Lynn asks us to set aside our Jacksonian lenses.</p> <p>From David on expected and unexpected parties.</p> <p>From Sarah on finding rest for this crazy world in Tolkien.</p> <p>For Kyles fixation on Tolkien tattoos, a message from RDeis23.</p> <p>From Real Lawyer, Not Rules Lawyer on the cool-as-a-cucumber Gandalf.</p> <p>2hokies has an audiobook recommendation.</p>

Then, as Kyle puts it, a “cracked out hobo” comes to rescue them. It’s two chapters this week on The Babylon Bee Reads <em>The Lord of the Rings</em>!</p> <p>Chapter summaries: Frodo, Sam, Pippin, and Merry make it to the tucked away house in Crickhollow and also meet Fatty who with Merry has been getting the house ready. The three travellers all bathe together and sing (in separate tubs), eat food, and Frodo finds out that his friends have known all along about the conspiracy to get the ring out of the Shire. Their plan is to sneak out through a small gate in the hedge that separates Buckland from the Old Forest. We learn that the Forest is very much alive and at enmity with the “colonizers” of Buckland. The four hobbits going through the Old Forest quickly find the forest against them! Old Man Willow causes the hobbits to fall asleep, traps Merry and Pippin within its cracks, and almost drowns Frodo.  A cracked out hobo in the woods comes to their rescue!</p> <p>Some questions or themes:</p> <p>The fellowship seems to be borne in Chapter 5.

<p>Kyle and Dan, from The Babylon Bee, along with Jonathan Watson, from <a href= "https://www.theonering.com/fellowship/">TheOneRing.Com</a> where you can join a growing fellowship of Tolkien fans, get to one of their favorite chapters of <em>The Lord of the Rings</em>: In The House Of Tom Bombadil! Who the heck is this weird guy dancing and singing in the old forest? What did Tolkien say about who Tom is and what does he have to teach us? How is this detour in the old forest to Tom’s house essential to the story? Tom Bombadil is awesome and by the end of this episode, we think you’ll agree.</p> <p>Chapter 7 summary: The hobbits enter the house and seem to be enchanted by Goldberry. Frodo even bursts into song when he sees her. Frodo asks her who Tom Bombadil really is and she tells him that Tom is simply Tom: the master of wood, water and hill. He has no desire to own anything and he has no fear. Frodo asks Tom if he had heard their cry for help or if he had just happened to come by at the right time. Tom said that he had been expecting them. They eat and go to bed. The Hobbits all have nightmares, except Sam. Frodo dreams of man on a tower taken away by a large eagle and then black riders, Pippin is back in the willow tree, and Merry thinks he is about to be drowned.The next day it rains, so Tom begins to tell them stories. He tells them about the old forest and the trees like Old Man Willow. He warns them about the barrow downs and the spirits. The Hobbits lose track of time. Frodo once again tries to find out who Tom Bombadil is by asking him directly. Tom asks Frodo to show him the Ring. He is completely unconcerned about the ring or Sauron. He teaches them a rhyme to call him for help and tells them they must leave the next day.</p> <p>Topics Discussed</p> <p>Who the heck is Tom?</p> <p>"Tom was a paradoxical creature, one moment defeating ancient forces with hardly an effort, the next capering and singing nonsensical songs." </p> <p>"Eldest, that's what I am... Tom remembers the first raindrop and the first acorn... He knew the dark under the stars when it was fearless - before the Dark Lord came from Outside."</p> <p>“He is Master of wood, water, and hill.” But he doesn’t own it! “That would be a burden,” says Goldberry. He also “just is as you have seen him” and is “not afraid.”</p> <p>Tom always seems preoccupied about his own business and seems to forget the needs of his guests. ‘Tom, Tom! your guests are tired, and you had near forgotten!</p> <p>Who the heck is Goldberry? She is full of joy and laughter and is described as “enthroned.”</p> <p>The paradox of Bombadil in that he is good but is not concerned with the shadow vs the Hobbits "you cannnot shut the world out forever"</p> <p>Kyle’s <a href= "https://twitter.com/The_Kyle_Mann/status/1108070647744225280"> tweet thread</a> about his favorite passage in Lord of the Rings: (though he reserves his right to say that a lot over the course of this show)</p> <p>Dan thinks it is odd that Tom just happens to have a feast set, four mattresses, four pairs of hobbit slippers, vessels of cold and hot water just waiting for the hobbits in the guest room. Tom says he was waiting for them. </p> <p>“Farmer Maggot, whom he seemed to regard as a person of more importance than they had imagined. ‘There’s earth under his old feet, and clay on his fingers; wisdom in his bones, and both his eyes are open,’ said Tom. It was also clear that Tom had dealings with the Elves, and it seemed that in some fashion, news had reached him from Gildor concerning the flight of Frodo.”</p> <p>Our zeitgeist and its need for big, epic heroes, and its intolerance of quirkiness and things that are uncool.</p> <p>Whether the morning and evening of one day or of many days had passed Frodo could not tell. He did not feel either hungry or tired, only filled with wonder.</p> <p>‘Who are you, Master?’ he asked. ‘Eh, what?’ said Tom sitting up, and his eyes glinting in the gloom. ‘Don’t you know my name yet? That’s the only answer. Tell me, who are you, alone, yourself and nameless? But you are young and I am old. Eldest, that’s what I am. Mark my words, my friends: Tom was here before the river and the trees; Tom remembers the first raindrop and the first acorn. He made paths before the Big People, and saw the little People arriving. He was here before the Kings and the graves and the Barrow-wights. When the Elves passed westward, Tom was here already, before the seas were bent. He knew the dark under the stars when it was fearless – before the Dark Lord came from Outside.’</p> <p>Tom holds up the superweapon of Sauron and laughs at it like it’s child’s play. And can even make it disappear??? Tom can see invisible Frodo?</p> <p>Some stuff from Silmarillion is mentioned like Valar and Maiar and hopefully the slides on the video help. Tom doesn’t fit any established category in Middle-Earth.</p> <p>Is Tom Bombadil right to be unconcerned with fighting evil?</p> <p>Subscriber Portion</p> <p>We “solve” who Tom really is (<a href= "http://babylonbee.com/plans">become a subscriber</a>)Tolkien’s own words about Tom Bombadil</p> <p>Subscriber Questions, fan theories, and tattoo suggestions for Kyle</p> <p>The Hobbits’ dreams in the house of Tom Bombadil</p>

<p>Kyle and Dan from The Babylon Bee are joined by Jonathan Watson of <a href= "https://www.theonering.com/">TheOneRing.Com</a> as they catch up with Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin as they make it to the barrow-downs and immediately run into trouble. There’s some ghosties, ancient evil stirring, and newfound courage found in a dark place.</p> <p>The subscriber portion is where all the best content is, so head over to <a href= "http://babylonbee.com/plans">BabylonBee.Com/Plans</a> and sign up to enjoy full-length podcasts!</p> <p>Chapter summary: The hobbits leave Tom Bombadil’s house, Frodo almost turns around sad he didn’t get to say goodbye, but Goldberry beckons to them from up ahead and sees them off properly. They lunch and accidentally fall asleep in a wide hollow circular area near a shapeless stone- that seemed to be a landmark or warning in its midst. Sinister fog rolls over them, feeling like a trap, and when the hobbits try to make their way out and into the fog they somehow get separated and captured by barrow-wights. Frodo stabs a hand and calls Tom Bombadil with a song. Tom rescues the hobbits and gives them all daggers which are swords for their size, and has his pony fetch their ponies, and then escorts them to the great east road where they just about make it to Bree.</p> <p>Some questions or themes:</p> <p>A line that gets adapted into the movie and put into Gandalf’s mouth in Return of the King: “either in dreams or out of them, he could not tell which, Frodo heard sweet singing running in his mind: ” a song that seemed to come like a pale light behind a grey rain-curtain, and growing stronger to turn the veil all to glass and silver, until at last it was rolled back, and a far green country opened before him under a swift sunrise. The vision melted into waking; and there was Tom whistling like a tree-full of birds; and the sun was already slanting down the hill and through the open window. Outside everything was green and pale gold.”</p> <p>Tolkien continues to sprinkle the history of the area throughout this chapter.</p> <p>“Tom said that it (the dike they thought was the road from a distance) had once been the boundary of a kingdom, but a very long time ago. He seemed to remember something sad about it, and would not say much.”</p> <p>The Men of Westernesse made their knives.. The brooch Tom finds for Goldberry has a history. The Dark Lord.. “overcome by evil king of Carn Dum in Land of Angmar.”</p> <p>‘Few now remember them,’ Tom murmured, ‘yet still some go wandering, sons of forgotten kings walking in loneliness, guarding from evil things folk that are heedless.’ The hobbits did not understand his words, but as he spoke they had a vision as it were of a great expanse of years behind them, like a vast shadowy plain over which there strode shapes of Men, tall and grim with bright swords, and last came one with a star on his brow.</p> <p>But even as he spoke he turned his glance eastwards, and he saw that on that side the hills were higher and looked down upon them; and all those hills were crowned with green mounds, and on some were standing stones, pointing upwards like jagged teeth out of green gums.</p> <p>Tom is Master of his domain. He sings the barrow wights away. He removes any curse from the items in the barrow to make them free to all finders. He calls the ponies back.</p> <p>Frodo finds an awakened courage to not leave his friends so easily in the barrow and takes action.</p> <p>“There is a seed of courage hidden (often deeply, it is true) in the heart of the fattest and most timid hobbit, waiting for some final and desperate danger to make it grow. Frodo was neither very fat nor very timid; indeed, though he did not know it, Bilbo (and Gandalf) had thought him the best hobbit in the Shire. He thought he had come to the end of his adventure, and a terrible end, but the thought hardened him.”</p> <p>The hobbits run around naked on Tom’s orders.</p> <p>The power in naming and the evil of namelessness.</p> <p>MAILBAG</p> <p>Laura Hollingsworth caught our attention on Not The Bee Social by making incredible LOTR artwork.

<p>On The Babylon Bee Weekly Podcast, Kyle and Ethan are joined by guest host, Pastor Craig Hamilton of Church Two42. They find the strangest of news like the police being called on a woman afraid of a croissant and Twitter censoring James O’Keefe for doing actual reporting. Kyle and Ethan hear about Pastor Craig’s fundraiser to build a church that isn’t in his front yard and play the game,‘Sin or Not Sin, where Pastor Craig lets you know if a well-done steak or jazzercise will be getting you in trouble with the good Lord.
