This book of interviews with Bono was one of those books that you wish you could pace yourself while reading, because its filled with such authentic, stripped down, heart stopping truths. Lovely to have a few moments with someone whos faith,their relationship with God seems a basic function of who they are.I find it interesting how the foundation of our relationship with God might be similar,but how its ” fleshed out”, makes it unique,individual. Your knowledge,(because of your experience of Him),might be different than mine,thats why relationship with one another is so important.Saint Anthony would often search out people with special knowledge or charactor, to learn from them.Course I’m not the monastic type,given to long periods of self contempletive exile,yet,my spirit yearns for necessary truth.

For me at least, it means a 100% giving of myself to Christ in order to gain that 100% of life that He promises.That life is available. For me that is not so easy, moment by moment. Bono seems to have had the same problem. There are lot of clear black and whites. They are easy to define. There are many greys that I need guidance about. That is where the Holy Spirit is promised to me too.I have to listen. I was taught that if I can manage the small things, the bigger ones become more of a walk in the park. “Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves”….A quote by my Grandmother.
