I like doing what other friends do, so this is taken from Amelia, Brie, & Pam (all former roomies, btw! WhatUP, East Ridgewood!!)
And I'd like someone to tell me what "meme" is, because it sounds wonderfully flirtatious and French. Like you should only say it with a cafe au lait in your hand.
The rules are:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next four sentences on your blog, along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest!
Alright, let me just say that honestly, this was the closest book, and there was a pen in it to mark Dave's page, as it is what he is reading right now. Where was the pen? I kid you not, between pages 122-123. It's destiny, it's fate, it's coincidence... whatever it is, say it with a French accent, no?
from Stories of Emergence: Moving From Absolute to Authentic, compiled by Mike Yaconelli
This is the message of the gospel. Words, while important, are secondary. I contrasted this biblical perspective with prevailing practices that reduced the gospel to methods that communicated propositional truth (the plan of salvation) followed by persuasion to "receive Christ". I began to wonder: How is this different from marketing methods designed to promote consumer products?
Intrigued? It's a great book. Check it out. And be sure to add your own "meme" to your "le blog"... I'd be interested to read it!
