We celebrate today's Biblical Wednesday by delving into the mysteries of faith, and ponder these wise and inscrutable words as if peering through a mirror darkly. Today's reading, as picked by Fortuna, is Nehemiah 12:38-39.
And the other company of them that gave thanks went over against them, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even unto the broad wall;
And from above the gate of E'phra-im, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Ha-nan'e-el, and the tower of Me'ah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate.
Clearly, as we read these words, the Lord is asking us: which gate shall our thanks reverberate in? The prison gate, the fish gate, or the sheep gate? O Fortuna, upon which tower should we direct our supplications?

I can't be totally sure without a bit more research, but these posts may be the best thing on the internet.
I think the real message is more subtle and complex. He is telling us to use the fish gate on fridays, the sheep gate every other day of the week, and to avoid both the prison gate and the over use of pronouns.
