]]> Lots of you end up on this site because I’ve talked about “The Shack” several times – both about my interaction with the book and about my interaction with William Paul Young, the author. Paul was in southern Ontario last week and was part of a show on CBC called “The Hour” hosted by George Stroumboulopoulos. George has become a very well-respected journalist in Canada and I love his interview style.

If you want to see the interview (it’s less than 13 minutes) you can see it here – http://www.cbc.ca/thehour/videos.html?id=1124988848

After you watch, I’d love for you to come back and drop your thoughts in a comment. Here are mine -

  • .George is a fantastic interviewer. He gets to the heart of the matter very quickly and knows enough of the story & context to come off sounding well-informed and intrigued by the answers.
  • .Paul has heard every question in the book over the last couple of years and has an answer ready for every one of them. He has become very experienced at the interview thing.
  • .I am amazed and excited that a book written for this guy’s six kids has opened these kinds of doors for spiritual discussion. Agree or disagree, like him or not, Paul’s book has given the church new opportunities to talk about the gospel with those who have questions. Are you taking that opportunity??
  • .What is the deep, preconceived, misguided notion of God in my own life that I need to get rid of?
  • .Big thought on this one – there is NO WAY that CBC would have given this guy 15 minutes of airtime 10 years ago. No chance. Pretty awesome that he was given that opportunity to declare Jesus is the Word of God, that God is existent as the Trinity and that He is exceptionally fond of each of us. That is very cool.

]]> Bono and the boys just killed it, again, on Letterman. Bono got his preach on doing ‘Magnificent’ off their brand new album, No Line On The Horizon.

Read the lyrics – tell me this is not a modern psalm:

Magnificent
Magnificent

I was born
I was born to be with you
In this space and time
After that and ever after I haven’t had a clue
Only to break rhyme
This foolishness can leave a heart black and blue

Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar

I was born
I was born to sing for you
I didn’t have a choice but to lift you up
And sing whatever song you wanted me to
I give you back my voice
From the womb my first cry, it was a joyful noise…

Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar

Justified till we die, you and I will magnify
The Magnificent
Magnificent

Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love unites our hearts

Justified till we die, you and I will magnify
The Magnificent
Magnificent
Magnificent

]]> “Pushing Daisies” was okay. I’ll give it one more week. “Heroes” was better than last week so I’ll keep watching.

I’m on holidays this week – nice to slow down and take a break! Unfortunately my holidays are not at all like this -

- and very much like this -

That’s right. Holidays are for finishing basements! Yahoo! I’ll be back in blogland next week.

Want to send me a message to keep me in the loop?

]]> I missed the show on Wednesday night (there was a hockey game on, what did you expect?!) so I’m excited that Pushing Daisies is running again tonight. Maybe I’ll have another show to call my own!

What are you watching?
