I’ve been tagged by Nick with the 123 Book Meme.

The rules state that I must pick up the book closest to me and:

1. turn to page 123
2. count the first five sentences
3. post the following three sentences

As I saw that I was tagged I have my whole bookshelf near me with no one book closest. So I picked the fifth book from the left on a shelf which is Trusting God by Jerry Bridges.

Rather, the story concludes with a conversation between God and Job in which Job acknowledges that through his trials he has come into a new and deeper relationship with God.

Sometimes afterward we can see some of the beneficial results of adversity in our lives, but we seldom can see it during the time of the adversity.

That worked out well.

I tag Esteban, Bryan and Matthew.
