1-2-3 Meme

February 6th, 2008

Eliacin tagged me with this fun meme:

The game is to grab the book nearest to you and turn to page 123. Find the 5th sentence and share the next 3 sentences with everyone. No fair looking through several books – just grab the closest one to you. Then you tag five people.

I happen to have just gotten a nice copy of Orthodox Alaska: A Theology of Mission in the mail. (Dang, these are getting really hard to find, apparently).

The 5th sentence begins a quote:

Although perhaps you know me only by rumors, you have thus opened to me the way of boldness; confident in your generosity, allow me to speak:  This country has been entrusted to our nation like a new-born baby, still incapable of acquiring knowledge… It isin need not only of protection but support… Therefore, I appeal to you in the name of these people, myself being their humble servant and nurse, writing my appeal with tears of blood:  be a  father and patron for us… wipe the tears of defenseless orphans, refresh our hearts burning with the fever of suffering; let us know what consolation is.

Next up?  I tag Jeff, Thomas, Chris, Colleen and Rose.
