Some of my pics: "Love is hard and love is tough"...

Some of my pics:

"Love is hard and love is tough"--goes with your comment on how fidelity in community is tedious. This principle keeps at bay the notion that the Christian call to love one another will be some sort of cakewalk, and if it's not easy we must be doing something wrong.

"I'll cross the sky for your love," "If you twist and turn away," "You've got to get yourself together"--Being in relationship is not the same thing as being someone's savior. Sometimes you'll reach out and the other person won't reach back. Keep reaching. Just keep in mind what you can and can't do.

"A vampire or a victim, it depends on who's around," "God's got his phone off the hook, babe," "You never felt wanted till you had someone slap your face"--Practice empathy.

Thanks for visiting, Jonathan.

Thanks for the link and the added conversation!
Great list and great points. You touched on several things that Greg mentions in his book, "We Get to Carry Each Other - The Gospel According to U2."
He really touches on three major/key subjects with the band, belief, communion and justice.
I think yall picked up on many of the same things.
Thanks again!
