the brew*crew adventure

I saw this over at Leslie's, aka. Tim's Mom's blog this morning, and so I decided to play.

How it works:

1.grab the book closest to you
2.open it to page 161
3. find the fifth full sentence
4.post the text of the sentence to your blog
5.don't search around for the coolest book you have, use the one that is really next to you.

Well, since we have a whole book shelf literally right beside the computer chair I'm sitting in here (technically *closest* and all equally so), I looked to what was actually within my reach on the desk. And the closest book is N's Bible, still sitting here where I placed it, moving it from where he'd left it on the dining room table, after our studies last week. The kids and I have really enjoyed getting back into having our "Bible time" together in the mornings again, something that sort of fell to the wayside, unfortunately, while our days were all helter skelter with baby-sitting... did I mention that I'm glad that season's done?

From Leviticus, concerning the Burnt Offering:

Then he is to take off these clothes and put on others, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean. - chapter 6, verse 11.

I'm also doing one more book, since it was laying there right next to the Bible. I'm really looking forward to reading this one with the kids. My Mom sent it to me awhile back, and just yesterday it, along with some other books, finally found their way out of the box she'd sent them in, which had been sitting on the floor in a corner of my bedroom for much too long, waiting for me to disseminate the contents thereof (all of which we'd looked through, but hadn't yet found their homes)... to a stack here on the desk, still waiting for their homes.

While thus alone and free it was interesting to learn the richly varied songs, or what we mortals call the roar, of expiring breakers. - A Thousand Mile Walk to the Gulf, by John Muir.
