I Am Concerned...

People keep leaving Mary birthday wishes and saying something like 'we hope David does something nice for you'. What do you folks think of me? Did you think I would just forget or something? Geeesh....

For your information, over the weekend I gave her a nice gift and tonight I took her out for dinner.

Apparently I am not as thoughtless as I get credit for being...

For My Fellow U2 Fans...

Irish rockers U2 have revealed they picked a space-age circular stage for their world tour — kicking off spectacularly tonight at Barcelona’s giant 97,500-capacity Camp Nou stadium.

Bono & co’s 100-date, £90m U2360 tour will arrive in Dublin next month.

U2’s small central set, tipped to rotate, is beneath a giant, four-legged construction dubbed the “Claw” measuring a world-record 50metres high, 58m wide and 47m deep.

Based on Los Angeles Airport’s Theme Building, the Claw is so big that roadies first arrived four weeks ago to build it.

The tour, the band’s first since 2005’s Vertigo, is their most expensive in their 33 years together, in which time they have been touted as the best live act on the planet.

A Challenging Quote From Jim Elliot

A friend shared the quote below on her Facebook page this morning. I had never read it before, but I found it incredibly challenging.

"We are so utterly ordinary, so commonplace, while we profess to know a Power the Twentieth Century does not reckon with. But we are "harmless," and therefore unharmed. We are spiritual pacifists, non-militants, conscientious objectors in this battle-to-the-death with principalities and powers in high places. Meekness must be had for contact with men, but brass, outspoken boldness is required to take part in the comradeship of the Cross. We are "sideliners" -- coaching and criticizing the real wrestlers while content to sit by and leave the enemies of God unchallenged. The world cannot hate us, we are too much like its own. Oh that God would make us dangerous!"

Quote by Jim Elliot, 1927-1956
