Inevitably, as I think about October I get U2’s ”October” stuck in my head. Such a good song, and fun to play on the piano.
October
October and the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear.
What do I care?
October and kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
But you go on
And on
I’m excited about their new album slated for early 2009. They’ve been working on it for awhile, spending a lot of time in the studio combining their creative genius. I can’t wait to hear how they’ve evolved yet again.
I wasn’t able to watch the debate last night, but I’m catching up on it on Youtube as I write this. So far, I like Sarah. Big surprise. She’s got guts and spunk. Biden seems like a nice guy, but…I can’t trust him. Some of what he says sounds nice, but I don’t think so. “Same sex marriage,” there is no such thing. Marriage is one man, one woman. I’m glad they actually agreed on that…in words anyway.
Tonight, we’re watching Ironman with some good friends. I’m so looking forward to it after a long week. Today, I actually was finished with work at 3:30, yay! It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to get everything finished by then.
A couple of us stayed after work to pray for our church and the convention tomorrow. Please join us in prayer for the diocese of Pittsburgh’s convention tomorrow. They are voting on re-alignment. In other words, they are voting to leave the Episcopal Church USA, and voting on re-aligning with the “Southern Cone.” Also, Grace Anglican Churchis seeking to join the diocese as a Parish church. That vote will be tomorrow as well. Praise the Lord that there are people bold enough to stand up against blasphemy and heresy, and are willing to face the very real possibility of losing so much. Pray that the Holy Spirit will continue to empower them to faithfully preach His Word.
