Bibliomancy can be fun

On at least one other occasion in this blog I mentioned my occasional flirtation with bibliomancy, the art of divination based picking a random passage out of a selected book. I'm not a believer but must admit to occasionally playing with this practice.

So this Sunday the Spousal Unit and I dragged ourselves to early Episcopal services. There was a Bible in the pew (!) so I figured what the hell, metaphorically speaking. I wound up in chapter 32 of Ezekiel with this cheerful message:

I will cast you out on the earth
    and throw you on the open ground.
    I will cause all the birds in the sky to settle on you,
    and all the beasts of the earth to devour you.
 Your flesh I will set upon the mountains,
    and I will fill the valleys with your gore.

I'm beginning to think 2015 is gunning for me. On the bright side, it would be an eco-friendly way to go.
