Sam & Frodo

As most of you know by now, we are winding down a series at our home church based on the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Last night we talked about friendship for the journey, and particularly in regards to the relationship between Sam and Frodo. Well, my dog Samson was his usual nuisance during our gathering and so I had to yell Sam more than once. At one point, my friend Mark quipped, "I think it's funny that you're Frodo and he's Sam." We all got a great laugh. I added that Sam listened to Frodo much more than Samson listens to me.
