2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.
The book is Ten Minutes From Normal, by Karen Hughes
"Governor Bush had placed three of us at the head of the campaign: he paid us each the same salary, and treated us as equals. Karl Rove was our political guru, in charge of the overall strategy; Joe Albaugh was the campaign manager who liked to be known as 'the enforcer;' and I was the communicator, responsible for the message. Joe called us 'the brain, the brawn and the bite'."
(Okay, I'm going to cheat. I'm going to quote from the other book that was sitting atop this one.)
3:16 by Max Lucado
"Millions who face the chill of empty pockets or the fears of sudden change turn to Christ. Why? Because he's been there. He's been to Nazareth, where he made deadlines and paid bills; to Galilee, where he recruited direct reports and separated fighters; to Jerusalem, where he stared down critics and stood up against cynics."
So there you have it. Anyone want to play along?

LOVE Max Lucado's writing. Hmm... The closet book to me is one of Rosie's coloring books. Not sure that counts! LOL
Now I want to read the Lucado book. He sure has a way of putting truths in simple ways.
Actually, the other one sounds interesting too.
I'm way behind in blog reading. I'm still trying to put one foot in front of the other and get through this resignation, new-job-search thing, and soon I'll be leaving for my sis' funeral--but I'm goint to do a little catching up here right now.
Ten Minutes from Normal look good -- And Max Lucado is one of my FAVORITE writers. His prose is better than most poetry!!!
