the game of tag, blog style

The rules:
1. Delve into your blog archive.
2. Find your 23rd post (or closest to).
3. Find the fifth sentence (or closest to).
4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions. Ponder it for meaning, subtext or hidden agendas…
5. Tag five people to do the same.

my 23rd post was a post concerning the parables of Jesus. i had been listening to rob bell's sermons that i got from his church's web site, and they made me think of the parables of Jesus, and how He took everyday situations and used them to teach about amazing things concerning His Father and His love for us:

you may be wondering why i have been stuck on writing about the parables of Jesus the last few posts, but i like how He took an everyday situation and used to teach.

well, i'm not a great teacher. my daughter, God love her, tells me that she really enjoys my classes "even though nobody else listens." well, then i think i have done my job. if she grows up and shares what she gets out of the lessons later on in life, or if she applies those lessons to her life, then i will be totally pleased.

i was "tagged" for this little adventure that i am doing by one of the greatest "discussion leaders" of my time. i am glad to call him, and be called by him, as friend. thanks greg.
