Okay, so I was reading a friend's blog and she was tagged, like this-
The rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book (at least 123 pages).
2. Turn to page 123.
3. Find the 5th sentence.
4. Post the 5th sentence on your blog.
5. Tag 5 people.
The curious cat that I am, I quickly survey the room. I happen to be sitting next to a shelf that has a box full of "The Cat Who..." books, but I knew that there had to be a book right in front of me, because I never put things back. So I look under all the millions of paper and opened mail and come across a book that I used months ago to write a talk. So, I turn to the 123 page, barely delving into the contents of it's lengthy subject. The fifth sentence happening to start in the middle of the page. It was very profound, so I decided to "tag" myself.
"It would have been a sign and a wonder indeed, the fame of which would have spread as fire in dry grass; and all Jewry would have been aflame with excitement and interest in the Christ." - Jesus the Christ, by James E. Talmage
It hit a chord in me. How excited am I about Christ? I know that sometimes I'm jumping out of my seat to comment in any class in church, and I absolutely love to teach. But it's more than hearing the sound of my own voice, I'd like to think, and I do feel closer to the Savior than I ever have in my life. Hopefully it will continue to be so, but it's interesting to think about being optimistic about life. Not just going through day to day motions, but actually enjoying everyday. I think that's a new personal goal for me. I know that I get happy, but sometimes I slip into routine without thinking. I want to be excited. About Christ, motherhood, life! So, there is my epiphany. And Bekah and Mom, consider yourselves tagged. I don't know if I should have to complete rule number 5, since I self-inflicted.
