Many of us resemble hobbits, if not in stature, in
temperament. They are quiet, peace-loving creatures who prefer simple,
practical hobbies and tasks. They never do anything to “make waves” or even
anything out of the ordinary. They are creatures of habit to the extent that
they rarely vary or stray at all. There is nothing unexpected. Deep down, a lot
of people are like that. Even if their particular activities are not like
others’, they are regular in what they themselves do. We perform out of habit
by nature, and most people don’t like causing a stir if they can help it. So
what does this have to do with faith?

I am passionate about learning and my faith, so I combine the two. My greatest goal is to daily grow to be more like Christ, and to help others do the same.
