As I mentioned last week, I’ve been reading “We Get to Carry Each Other – The Gospel According to U2.” A great read from Greg Garrett (who also wrote “Stories from the Edge – A Theology of Grief).
As a closing section in the book, Greg shares 10 spiritual lessons we can learn from U2.
I thought I’d share an additional 10 that I’ve learned along my journey as well. So here they are, in no particular order…

For my friends in the UK and elsewhere who either don’t get Letterman – or missed seeing U2 last night, YouTube’s got the video (for now).

Every day I die again, and again I’m reborn
Every day I have to find the courage
To walk out into the street

Neither down nor out

I can breathe
Breathe now
This song is quickly becoming one of my favorites on the album. It’s getting harder to pick a top song now.
Now that the album’s been released, what’s your favorite? What’s your favorite lyric? What songs are you dying to see and hear in the stadiums?
BTW – I picked up the “Limited Edition CD/Digi pack” today from Best Buy thanks to my sister and brother-in-law, who gave me a gift card for my birthday (you can order a copy from Amazon through the link above). Very pleased with the packaging — except that the poster is glued to the cardboard! That’s not frustrating at all!! Not that I expected Laurie to let me put the poster up in our living room — but I did have a spot for it in my cubicle at work! I’m hoping I can get it off without damaging either the poster or case too much. I’ll keep you posted.
Oh and BTW – I just noticed U2.com has been completely redesigned. Check it out.
