Scott from has in the popular "123" or "closest book" meme, which has been around for a really long time (I remember seeing it in '06), even though it's been spreading like wildfire as of late [UPDATE: Looks like I was tagged a couple weeks ago... whoops]. Anyway, here's how it works.
(1) Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages or more. No cheating! (2) Turn to page 123. (3) Find the first 5 sentences. (4) Post the next 3 sentences. (5) Tag 5 people.
Here goes:
I will revisit the pain of my mother's forgiveness in chapter 6. My father never talked about how it felt forgiving a person who killed his boy; he never talked much about how anything felt, though he was a deeply sensitive man. But that forgiveness must have cost him a great deal too, possibly no less that it cost my mother.
The passage is from the book , by Croatian-American theologian Miroslav Volf, which was sitting on my bed (right behind me). Those three sentences actually provide a lot of insight into how Volf does theology - often through anecdotes and achingly honest personal narrative.
I tag , , , , and . You're it.

Jake, thanks brother for the tag. I already did this one.
It looks like an interesting meme. I think I will try it on Monday.
