This is one tough case of Blogger's Block. I've tried gin, I've tried vodka and even rum (which I hate) in order to shake it off, and none of those have worked. AM beers usually do the trick, but all that's accomplished this time around are frequent trips to the bathroom.
So bear with me. I could cop out and post a video or a crazy cat picture or point out the irony in how some Catholic bloggers point out in a Pharisaical way how other Catholic bloggers act Pharisaical, but where's the fun in that? It's all been done before, and by people way smarter and better connected than myself.
Instead, I'll fall back on the tried and true concept of The Meme. I read at Orwell's Picnic (by the way, say some prayers for Hilary as she's undergoing chemo at the moment!) that this week has been National Book Week in Canada. I'm not Canadian, but I can see it from my house - well, not really, but it's just over yonder in the east - so I thought I'd participate in the Facebook meme that Hilary mentions, where you go to page 56 of whatever book you're reading, and copy the 5th sentence as your status. So what if I don't do Facebook? Don't bother me with the details. The rules also say I'm not supposed to mention the book, but I'm going to go rogue and mention the title anyway. That's how I roll.
So here it is:
"For to what extent do people still belong to the Church in the first place?" (Light of the World, Pope Benedict XVI)
Good question.
So what's the fifth sentence on page 56 of the book you're reading?
Instant "Acts"ess
