Book Tag

Jennica posted this book tag this morning and I decided to do it. (A few other people have done it recently, but I wasn't in the mood to do it; today I was. Inspiration maybe???)

Here are 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 nearest book was The Book of Mormon - Another Testament of Jesus Christ. (I carried it in here yesterday when I was updating my reading for the Hinckley challenge)

* page 123 brings me to Jacob 3

*it was a challenge counting sentences, since in most cases the sentence was very long and was the whole verse..., but according to my counting - My sentence is verse 11

"O my brethren, hearken unto my words; ^aarouse the faculties of your souls; shake yourselves that ye may ^bawake from the slumber of death; and loose yourselves from the pains of ^chell that ye may not become ^dangels to the devil, to be cast into that lake of fire and brimstone which is the second ^edeath.

This was a good thing for me to hear, as I seem to need constant reminding to awake and arise - I am far too complacent, content, and prone to say "all is well." On Charlotte's blog I recently read the quote, "The key to success in the gospel is to make small adjustments often" --Lee Cantwell (one of her religion teachers)
I need to focus on making small changes often, and sticking with them, (until they stick to me), instead of jumping in with a big ole' honkin' list of things to do, and then fizzling out after a week...


(Jennica's blog is a private one, so you can't go read it yourselves, but her quotes were really good, and I wanted to share them here as well, since I know that many of you, my blogging friends, deal with just a tad bit of stress every now and then:) So I hope Jennica won't mind, here are her words:

"Ok so I picked up two books that I am reading right now... The first one is "simplify" by Carolyn J. Rasmus. Here is the fifth sentence on page 123: "When we feel stressed, troubled, unsure, or discouraged we need to remember the things that we are taught in Primary: We must believe in Christ and all He has promised to do for us. " What a great thought!

Here is the second book that I am sort of reading (or just starting)... "Mary, Martha, and Me" by Camille Fronk Olson. ... Here is the fifth sentence on page 123: "His grace is sufficient. Sufficient means enough."

Beautiful thoughts eh??? Thanks Jennica. If anyone who read this wants to do the book tag, feel free... I am awake and aroused, so I am going to go get to work. Y'all have a great day!
