Blog Game!!!
02.22.2008 by Tim Reed
Dan Goldfinch hit me with a book meme.
The rules are very straightforward and go as follows: 1. Grab the nearest book (that is at least 123 pages long).
2. Open to p. 123.
3. Go down to the 5th sentence.
4. Type in the following 3 sentences.
5. Tag five people.
This is from 1,000 Places To See Before You Die, by Patricia Schultz:
One of France’s most enchanting country hotels lies on 200-acre working ranch in the heart of the intriguing region known as the Camargue, along France’s southern coast. A microcosm of the area’s wild, rugged scenery, the ranch is both a government-protected bird sanctuary (known for its flock of pink flamingos) and the final frontier for the gardians, some of the last cowboys in Europe. you can ride out on one of the 300 snow-white Camargue horses, or help the herders gather the stocky black Camargue bulls, which are raised for races.
I’m supposed to tag five other people with this thing, but I think I’ll just hit up Christian Penrod and Chad McIntosh.

Thanks for playing. This book you are reading sounds fascinating. I think I’ll check it out sometime. Have a blessed weekend in the Lord.

I’ll participate, but I won’t post this on my blog, hahaha. Alright, my computer is walled-in by stacks of books, so this is somewhat arbitrary. Here is a book on top of one of a random stack:
The Felt Meanings of the World: A Metaphysics of Feeling, by Quentin Smith
“Now the problematical character of this “see-saw” among mutually canceling world-views is not recognized in these moody intuitions themselves, for in each mood it is unthematically and intuitively felt to be the case that the world-whole is the way it appears to be in that mood, and the previous clashing appearances exhibited by the world-whole are tacitly discounted as deceptive appearances. It is not until a moody thinking has ensued wherein I no longer live in, but reflect upon, my moody intuitions that I can recognize the problematic nature of these changing world-views. In the afterglow of one of these mood changes, I can turn back upon and compare the incompatible feelings of intuitive givenness; in this reflective comparison I can recognize that the givenness which is felt in the mood whose afterglow I am experiencing I am experiencing is no different in character than the givenness felt in the incompatible mood I had earlier experienced.”

Okay, I’ll do mine here too. But Tim still loses because he only tagged 2 people, and I don’t count.
Unchristian by David Kinnaman and Gabe Lyons
“‘Christianity is so predictable,’ one person we interviewed said with contempt. Two-thrids of young outsiders said the faith is boring, a description embraced by one-quarter of young churchgoers as well. The image of being sheltered means the Christian faith seems dull, flat, and lifeless.”
