There is a tag meme going around, and I got ‘tagged’ by Dashhouse.
It’s five questions about books, and I tagged Joel.
He answered in the comment section at Bene Diction Blogs On, which is fine, but I thought it was only fair that question five get sent out by link. Here is Joel’s response.:^)
1. Number of books I own:
Around 500.
2. Last book I bought:
“Discerning the Divine” by Barry L. Callen
3. Last book I read:
“The Rule of Four” by Ian Caldwell & Dustin Thomason
4. Books that mean a lot to me:
Anything by Clive Cussler, Jonathan Kellerman, C.S. Lewis, John Grisham, and S. E. Hinton; also:
“A Healing Homiletic: Preaching and Disability” by Kathy Black
“The Breathtaker” by Alice Blanchard
“Ordinary People” by Judith Guest
“Leading Beyond the Walls” by Adam Hamilton
“The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton
“At Home in Mitford” by Jan Karon
“A Separate Peace” by John Knowles
“Hallelujah, Anyway” by Diedra Kriewald
“Clergy Killers: Guidance for Pastors and Congregations Under Attack” by G. Lloyd Rediger
“Listening for God” by Renita Weems
5. Tag five people.
I’m going to do this the lazy way: Joshua Claybourn, Paul Musgrave, Jonathan Bunch, Adam Packer, Eric Seymour, Zach Wendling, Ed Brayton and Adam Tierney of “In the Agora”

Richard,
I tried to link, but as much as I thought I was following html code for linking, it just didn’t work. When I did the preview, the post didn’t print the link, so I assumed I did something wrong. Have grace! After all, I’m 50 now. Send me an e-mail showing what I should have typed.
Also, I wasn’t aware I had been tagged before. Bene’s was the first one I noted.
No actually, I like Bene a lot more than you. That’s the real reason. Will you still send me the e-mail?

Bene,
One again I see I’m in a coma and failed to note who wrote the post. So Bene needs to send me the e-mail at joelthomas67@netscape.net telling me how to link in the comments section on his site. (If you knew what I had been involved in for the past two months you’d understand why I am in such a fog.) I think I didn’t expect Bene to be up at this hour — I shouldn’t be– but Richard should.
But I’m not going to apologize to Richard, because I still like Bene best. Although I should at least give Richard credit for upping my pay as guest blogger 100%.

It’s alright, Joel. I don’t like you much, either. Shall we have a flame war?
But I’ve sent you that email.

I have linking disabled in my comments because of spam, Joel, not your fault. MT doesn’t have a comment moderating cue.
I was up at that hour because it’s hovering around +40C and I’m a Canuck. I like cold weather, not hot. This is extremely rare, it might happen a day or two in August, not June. It’s too hot to sleep eat move think, sit, stand, lay down, read, or be a semblance of a human being.
What were you doing up at that hour? I was very pleased to see another Jonathan Kellerman fan. That was another first.
I’ll settle the flame war. I like me best to!!!:^)
