U2, the grammy winner

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

I have been searching and searching for my favorite band’s video – finally my search came to an end at my favorite Walmart store close by. You know whom I’m talking about? I’m talking about the Band U2. I especially wanted to watch the Vertigo video, and how happy I was when I got it.

U2 has been my favorite band for long, and I love them a lot. All the songwriters, I have been watching, I never have seen such a creative person as Bono. His lyrics include activism, the search of a human heart to excel, and his thirst to know the pure. The journey his lyrics take through your mind is amazing.

I will be called biased if I say he has got all the inspirations from his faith in the creator. But that is the truth, though Bono does not acknowldge it anytime soon. Bono grew up in Dublin’s Shalom Christian Fellowship, and I would say he is writing another book of “revelation” – his songs are so soul thirsty. He has high spiritual visions, just like John had to write the book “revelation”. The Revelation is the hardest book to read, understand and consume – U2’s lyrics are hard as that to consume.

I heard the news, watching the grammy throughout the night. I jumped out of my sofa when U2 came to the stage. U2 won song of the year, a songwriter’s award, for “Sometimes You Can’t Make It on Your Own,” as well as best rock album for “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.” I’m happy for them.

Few days back I participated in a table tennis tournament at Evanston, Wyoming. I had to drive 2 hours to reach the place from my home. I was tired the day before, and forgot to keep an equipment to unscrew the box where I keep my table tennis paddle. I realized this only half way over to the place while driving. I thought for a moment how can I play today without a paddle. The negative thoughts started flowing to my mind. Before more thoughts came to my mind, I said to myself “Lord, I trust in you. Have your grace over me.”

Before the tournament began, a person at the venue helped me to get a similar equipment and open the case. I was able to grab silver medal in the tournament.

The Bible says:

“In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. ” Proverbs 3:6

Freeing yourself from sin

When we make decision to live in a new city or town, we would like to live in a crime free zone. We don’t like criminals and the crimes that criminals do. The Government, the police or any law enforcement official can only control the crimes in certain cities but not eliminate completely.

I heard from a Police official that crimes happen every day is because every human being is born with natural tendency to commit mistakes.

The Bible says:

“As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;” Romans 3:10

Let us all need almighty’s help to free ourselves from everyday mistake that we do.
