The Time of My Life

Monday was hands down one of the greatest nights of my life. I have said before that U2 is on my "bucket list" of things to do/see before I die. Granted right now, my list only has 2 things on it, but still... My wish was fulfilled!

They didn't disappoint either! I heard all of my favorite songs and my have shed a few tears of excitement!

The coolest thing was to see Bono and to know that he's a Christian. I always knew his music had references to his faith, but when you see him live, you can see him worshipping through his music. My favorite of the night was hearing him sing "I give my voice back to You" during Magnificent.

Jordan and I are in the red square on the picture. Our fantastic friend Billy who took us to the concert took this picture from his seats on the other side of the stadium.

Here are the lyrics to Magnificent---so cool!!

Magnificent

Oh, oh, 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, oh, oh

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, oh, oh

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, oh, oh

Magnificent, magnificent, oh, oh

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, oh, oh

Magnificent, magnificent, magnificent

Confession...

...I am part of a Book Club! Two of my five (regular) readers are also part of this book club, so I shouldn't make fun. I'm actually an avid reader when I have time...or when I'm procrastinating. So far in less than two weeks, I've read 5 books. I've just started my 6th.

My current read is Twenty Wishes by Debbie Macomber. I've actually read most of her books, but I think this could be my favorite yet, and I'm only on page 67. The idea of the book is to create an "inventory of wishes"--wishes and hopes for the future. It's a little like the movie the Bucket List that came out earlier this year.

Jordan and I have talked about our Bucket List many times and I think I'm going to actually write down my wishes! Some of them are silly and some may be sentimental--I don't know yet. I'll just start with the ones I know for now:

1. Scuba Dive in the Great Barrier Reef
2. See U2 in Concert
3. ??

As the list grows, I'll continue to update. I would encourage you to make a list for yourself too! If you have a blog, link to it in the comments. I think it would be fun to help each other make our wishes come true. Happy Wishing!

PS: Here's the list of books I've read recently. It's a fairly eclectic mix, so there's probably something in there for everyone.

1. All We Ever Wanted Was Everything - Janelle Brown
2. Ricochet - Sandra Brown
3. Sundays at Tiffany's - James Patterson
4. Between Sundays - Karen Kingsbury
5. Double Cross - James Patterson

After Twenty Wishes, I have Sail by James Patterson waiting for me.
