Memes

(I had to look up what this means…)

Sarah tagged me for these last week. Having never been a literature buff or an honors student, it took me a little while to figure out what I was supposed to do with it…now I know…just follow the directions, dummy:-). (Yes, I know I’m not a dummy…only a figure of speech).

I’ll do the 1-2-3 meme first. The rules are as follows.

1) Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2) Open the book to page 123.
3) Find the fifth sentence.
4) Post the next three sentences.
5) Tag five people.

So, the closest “book” to me is my journal, which I immediately thought, “right…I’m going to tell you the 123rd page in the book of stuff you should not know about me yet…or ever…depending who you are…” but then, I decided to see what it actually said…carefully counting 123 pages, and then 5 sentences, I came to a list of things I wrote on the 4th of October that I needed to tell people…which I never told them…so, I am going to write them here…and if those people look at my blog, I hope they are blessed and encouraged…here it is (they’re more bullet points than sentences…is that ok?)

- David M: How I have grown in hearing and responding to the Holy Spirit due to my time at St. Silas.

- Tim: What I have appreciated about you and what I’m sorry to have missed…

- Jo and Isabel: How much of a role they played in my survival and growth this year.

Funny that. How you mean to tell people what they’ve meant to you, it gets buried in your journal or not even there, and you forget…and maybe they never know.

I’m guessing that it’s not really in the rules to use my journal, as I think the book is probably meant to be a published book…so here’s one that maybe fits the bill:

Lonely Planet’s New Zealand guide…page 123, sentences 5-7:

Return fares in the high season cost around A$200 more, while tickets valid for two months or longer are also more expensive. If you’re travelling from Australia to the US west coast via NZ, the high season varies but is generally during the northern hemisphere summer. Low-season fares start at around A$1400-2000 one-way/ return; high-season fares are more like A$2400 return…

riveting…I don’t know how to respond to such profundity.

I’m going to do the other one another day…I think it might be a bit more interesting.
