Another tag from A.C. at Fore Left!
“Here are the rules. The rules are simple. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages), open the book to page 123, find the fifth sentence, post the next three sentences and tag five other bloggers.”
If you’re following Project:BOY, you won’t be surprised that my entry comes from The Daily Bible by Harvest House Publishers. Page 123 falls into the reading for January 28th:
So Moses went down to the people and told them.
And God spoke all these words: “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.”
“You shall have no other gods before me.”
I’m a few days behind on Project:BOY, otherwise I would have blogged about this already. At the moment, I’m on the reading for Jan 24.
In the spirit of the Spirit, I’ll tag the five radical leftists at The Flypaper Theory: autoegocrat, Jeff, PeskyFly, kibitzer and The Christian Progressive Liberal.

Very Cool. The Wife’s Bible, that I read, is the New International Version, has LEVITICUS 3:16 - 3:17

Just curious. I grabbed the nearest book and on page 123 there is just one sentence. Do the rules say to continue counting (2,3,4…) on the next page?

Also curious, untagged, but trying it any how, I found a very exciting passage from “The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation”:
“If an article is part of a survey of the law of one jurisdiction, the title of the article should incorporate the title of the survey as follows: Alain A. Levasseur, Sales, The Work of the Louisana Appellate Courts for the 1977-1978 Term, 39 La. L. Rev. 705 (1979).”
I’ll stop there; no need to inflict the next two sentences on your readers. No one else need suffer from my Sunday at the office. =)

Can I add….?
“The voters of Illinois threw Lincoln out of office in the next election.
After the Mexican War, the sole remaining piece of land that would be acquired to complete the continental United States was bought in 1853. The Gadsden Purchase, orchestrated by South Carolinian James Gadsden, brought in portions of Arizona and New Mexico as part of Gadsden’s dream of a cross-country railroad stretching from the South to California.”
Well, you said the closest book, right? “The Politically Incorrect Guide to the South (and Why It Will Rise Again)”
