I just finished reading
Bono: In Conversation with Michka Assayas. I read through it quickly, most of the time thinking, "Dude, slow down and savor this." I'll read it again some day. There were also several points at which I said to myself, "You should post that quote on the blog." Alas, there would just be too much. I've seen a few quotes from the book scattered around the blogosphere, so I'll let those be.
Anyway, I am fighting whatever urges I might have to nominate the guy for sainthood - heck, I'm not Roman Catholic, so I don't even know how one would go about that. But at the same time, I really believe that this guy may be the best high-profile example of a real Christian we've got right now. Ironically enough, many other high-profile Christians would like to question whether he is a Christian at all.
And speaking of reading, I ordered my first four back to school books last night, so I'll be diving in soon. Meanwhile, I'll be driving to Olympia this afternoon to meet with a guy from my denomination for a little "consulting" - how much consulting I do with them and for how long will be one of the topics we discuss. I'll write more about that later.
