Bookworm

Tagged by Lisa for 'Bookworm', I shall try this. It sounds like fun. ^-^

The rules:
Open the closest book to you, not your favorite or most intellectual book, but the book closest to you at the moment, to page 56. Write out the fifth sentence, as well as two to five sentences following.

The closest book to me happens to be my Bible. NIV Study Bible, so if you have one, feel free to double check if this is correct...

On page 56 we open to Genesis 32. The 5th sentence is verse 22 and just happens to start under a new heading. Jacob Wrestles With God. Hmmmmm, this could be good. :)

22) That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two maidservants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23) After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. 24) So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25) When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob's hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26) Then the man said, "Let me go, for it is daybreak." But Jacob replied, "I will not let you go unless you bless me."

May God Bless you. Thank you for reading our blog! ^-^
