If you haven't checked out Angelia's blog, you should. She's warm, sincere and humorous.

Here are the guidelines:  (As if you don't know by now)

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next two to five sentences.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book or the intellectual one. Pick the Closest.
6. Tag five people to do the same

[The one book that this cannot be is the Bible]

At the time I received my Tag, I was working on my laptop next to the bookcase. My choice was easy. This time of year, at a time of reflection, Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl, is appropriate. It's about Frankl's life in Nazi death camps and his lessons for spiritual survival.

Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose.

Page 56, Starting with the Fifth Sentence:  When we new arrivals were counted, one of us was missing. So we had to wait outside in the rain and cold wind until the missing man was found. He was at last discovered in a hut, where he had fallen asleep from exhaustion. Then the roll call was turned into a punishment parade. All through the night and late into the next morning, we had to stand outside, frozen and soaked to the skin after the strain of our long journey; And yet we were all very pleased.

                 Hope. Faith. Joy.  No Matter What.
