"I've Been Tagged!"

Something new to me just showed up in "Blog Land"....Tagging.

When you tag someone with a set of questions or a list or a game, they respond in their blog, etc.

Here are the rules for this one:
Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages or more (no cheating!)
Find page 123
Find the first five sentences
Post the next three sentences
Tag five people

Sitting next to me at my computer is "Lies Women Believe and the Truth That Sets Them Free" by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. My Monday night Bible Study group is just starting this so I had just begun reading.

...I am saying I can do my work, keep my home, handle my relationships, and deal with my circumstances without Him. That independent, self-sufficient spirit is an expression of pride. The Scripture teaches, "God resists the proud" (James 4:6) and so if I walk in pride, I must be prepared for God to resist me and my efforts.

I can already tell this is going to be an awesome book! There are so many "lies" that we buy into and build our life around. I'm learning the value and importance of spending time alone with God. My prayer for myself right now is that it can become a more and more consistent pattern in my life...not just something I do hit or miss.

Now, I'll tag...Meri Khoury, Lanier Pearson, Laurie DeMint, Brad Smart, and Amy Reddick. Whatcha reading?

Lanier, I'm not so sure about this tagging business. But if I did it, I would have typed the same sentences you did. My "Mentor Moms" group has been going through this book since the fall and I have really gotten a lot out of it. I hope you do too...Thanks for the new posts, I've been waiting...
