Maybe a little overdone, but I thought it might make a very desciptive name and a good point of reference on his life.<BR/><BR/>Like you, I wonder how the King will react when he sees Helot enter the great hall wearing the robes that weren't intended for him.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, we are too eager to trade one bondage for another. Once we finally grasp the concept of grace--then we can move forward with the freedom intended for us.Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14493805128069922325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1173699690175945868.post-33465410571458574752008-09-01T20:44:00.000-07:002008-09-01T20:44:00.000-07:00hmmmm...lots of thoughts with this one, and I won'...hmmmm...lots of thoughts with this one, and I won't get into all of them, but here are a few:<BR/><BR/>-was the helot name mean? I assumed thrall was representative of him, but I'm not sure about helot. Wasn't that a group of greeks or spartans or something?<BR/><BR/>-how many people end up in chains thinking they are serving the King versus those who just got preoccupied with other things? While the outcome is the same in both of those situations, the person's motivation is different. I wonder if the King would show more mercy in one of the situations?<BR/><BR/>-I kept thinking about David and Absalom while reading this. There was one or two places which reminded me of that story, and I can see some similarities in how Absalom would manipulate circumstances/people.<BR/><BR/>-keep the gold chains and clothes and put them up on ebay.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331926114892980359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1173699690175945868.post-27205901913073392252008-08-30T10:22:00.000-07:002008-08-30T10:22:00.000-07:00Hello Thrall,My name is Dana Petra.
