Unknown Caller

Today, I woke knowing exactly what I wanted to do. I got home late yesterday and couldn't do this thing. And yesterday was the first day to do it. So this morning I got up, washed my face, brushed my teeth and put my hair in a ponytail and fired up the Escape. Since it was rush hour and the regular neighborhood traffic was hopping, I slyly took the back route through less traveled avenues. With a determined face I didn't stop for coffee. I didn't need to stop at the ATM. As I arrived at my destination, I took the keys from the ignition, opened the car door and felt a peaceful smile spread over my face as I entered the Best Buy. I recognized it right away as I've been anticipating the new U2 CD "No Line on the Horizon". The sweetness of this moment was only enhanced as I reached into my wallet and produced a Best Buy gift card.

The song I will highlight is about us not listening to God. During this Lenten season, it is being clearly communicated to me that I hardly ever listen to God. Unknow Caller:

Sunshine, Sunshine,

Sunshine, sunshine

Oh, Oh

Oh, Oh

I was lost between the midnight and the dawning

in a place of no consequence or company

3:33 when the numbers fell off the clock face

Speed dialing with no signal at all

Go, shout it out, rise up

Oh, Oh

Escape yourself, and gravity

Hear me, cease to speak that I may speak

Shush now

Oh Oh

Force quit and move to trash

I was right there at the top of the bottom

On the edge of the known universe where I wanted to be

I had driven to the scene of the accident

And I sat there waiting for me

Restart and re-boot yourself

You're free to go

Oh Oh

Shout for joy if you get the chance

Password, you enter here, right now

Oh, Oh

You know your name so punch it in

Here me, cease to speak that I may speak

Shush now

Oh Oh

Then don't move or say a thing
