The Last Lesson
The will of God will not take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us. — Billy Graham If you know Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, then you know that the central, heroic character, Frodo, the ring-bearer, fails to throw the Ring into the fires of Mount Doom at the end of his arduous…
