For our date night yesterday we went to see U2 3D. It was great to be able to do nothing else for 80 minutes but appreciate their music (that and watch four sweaty old men prance no stage).
I’m glad they played some of their older stuff, but they’ve just got too many good tunes to really play all in one concert. The most spiritually intriguing part was where Bono chants
Jesus, Jew, Muhammad, it’s true…
All sons of Abraham.
Father Abraham, speak to your sons.
Tell them, No more!
Here’s us looking cool in our 3d shades

Some recent quotes that have struck me…
Kirk douglas – I tell my sons they didn’t have my advantages growing up. I came from abject poverty. There was nowhere to go but up.
Muhammad Ali – The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.
Sarah Silverman – Jesus’ words have become so perverted over time – it’s been like a game of telephone. If he existed, he would f*kin’ kill himself.
Carrie Fisher – Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
Christopher Reeve – Superman is a big fish in a small pond. If he’d grown up on Krypton… he might have been average.
Homer Simpson – Dear Lord, the gods have been good to me. As an offering, I present these milk and cookies. If you wish me to eat them instead, please give me no sign whatsoever … thy will be done. (munch munch munch)

It’s shaping up to be another really busy week. But here’s a question for all of you who visit here.
How can I make this blog better?
Content: Would you like to see me post more practical how-to’s? More depth? More questions? More Stories? More controversial topics? More reviews? More resources? More serial posts? More struggles? More convictions? More Focus? More on certain topics? Church planting? Creativity? Leadership? Technology? Faith? Life? Culture? Photos? Something else specific you’d like me to post on?
Format and Style: What are your thoughts on… Ads? Post frequency? Post length? Visuals? Font size? Header? Navigation? Organization? Clutter? Referencing? Interaction/Response time? Linking? Theme? Formatting? Image size, Load times? Other suggestions?
Otherwise, I’d just continue doing whatever the heck I want. So here’s your chance, don’t worry I won’t take any offense to any comments, I think.
* No promises on me doing anything about it, I’d appreciate the feedback!

Best quote I’ve heard recently,
An Anglican Priest tells a group of us: “I’m totally suspicious of the church, and I work for the stupid thing.”

Our entire family has been sick in some way the past three weeks. We seem to be passing it back and for to each other. Although it does seem that quite a number of people I know happen to also be sick for an inordinate amount of time this year. (I’ve been having flashbacks of Stephen King’s movie “The Stand” where everyone starts getting sick and then it’s cough, cough, cough… everyone in the world is dead).
Anyhow, being sick combined with busyness just drives me crazy. I’ve been trying not to over exert myself, I’ve declined a number of speaking engagements, and I still find myself far behind my deadlines. Anyone got tips?
Here’s a shot of Stellar in the snow. And no, we don’t leave her in the snow when she’s sick. She makes me smile every time I think of her crazy face.
