Looking for inspiration – U2 – 2009

I’ve been working on the the sermons for Sunday. Struggling a wee bit with the theme for Sunday morning which is entitled “Facing the Single Life” i guess I’m becoming aware of the breadth and depth of the topic. People are so different, their approach and attitude may depend  on their age, their sex and whether they have chosen to be single .  I can imagine the feelings  will  be quite different for people  who are single, following on from a divorcee, or a bereavement. One thing we can be sure of the experience will also change as you go through different stages in life.

I guess the one thing i will be trying to get across is whether,single, married, divorced, separated, a parent or childless. We are all by our calling as Christians part of the family of God. Or in St Paul’s words we are all part of the Body of Christ. they key thing is for us all to discover the place where we have been called to serve. Anyway I work more on this theme tomorrow.

After an enjoyable  evening spent at the Hippodrome, our local refurbished 1910 cinema, where we saw the film, ” Last Chance Harvey” starring Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thomson the night was rounded off nicely by seeing Bono  and Edge on the Jonathan Ross Show. I’m seriously tempted to splash out and get some tickets for the Glasgow gig on the 18 August.  The Stage their using looks amazing. have a listen to this recording from the Milan gig it looks awesome.

BOGLE’S  PARAPHASE  PSALM 100

Tell U2 to turn the volume up

They make such a joyful noise

The Lord just loves that sound

On the Edge

Let the stadium rock with worship

Incite the people

To serve with joy and gladness,

enter the gates of the stadium with praise.

Give thanks for truth endures for all times

It is everlasting throughout all generations .
