From Vegas Joe:
The Rules of this tag game are:
1. Grab the book nearest to you...no cheating!
2. Open to page 123.
3. Scroll down to the fifth sentence.
4. Post text of next 3 sentences on to your blog.
But I will say that the doctrines taught in the Old and New Testments concerning the will of God towards his children here on earth; the history of what he has done for their salvation; the ordinances which he has instituted for their redemption; the gift of his Son and his atonement - all these are true, and we, the Latter-day Saints, believe in them.
When we reflect and rightly understand, we learn how easy of comprehension the Gospel is, how plain it is in its plan, in every part and principle fitted perfectly to the capacity of mankind, insomuch that when it is introduced among the lovers of truth it appears very easy and very plain, and how very ready the honest are to receive it.
We should all live to that the Spirit of revelation could dictate and write on the heart and tell us what we should do.

This was a fun game. I was really, really tempted to cheat, though.

Oh, man, you caught me at work with that one. I had to cite the hated Bluebook.
Anything to get you to come and say nice things on my blog again :)
(now, where did my Bible go? hmmmm...
hmmmmm.... thinking, thinking ....)
I didn't actually do it, but I am happy to say that the book nearest me was Anner Tyler's "The Tin Can Tree."
All my Mormon books and paraphernalia are either gone or out in the garage!
I love Anne Tyler.
My quotes are from a book by Pearl Buck, called The Exile.
Okay, I'm late, but this was too good to pass up:
Listeners prayed, fled in their cars, warned neighbors, and clogged telephone lines. Many were treated for shock. The next morning they learned that the previous evening's "news" was completely made up, the product of H.G.Welles' imagination via the voice of Orson Welles.
