\nSo, firstly, there was U2 at Twickenham. Which was nice. Caught up with the wonderful Tim Harrold and Jude Smith, and waved at Reading friend Harv across the stadium! I can’t say I’m a great fan of U2’s newer albums, but it was great to see a number of the old classics in the set list:<\/p>\n


\nVertigo
\nAll Because of You
\nElectric Co.
\nElevation
\nNew Year’s Day
\nBeautiful Day
\nI Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
\nWild Horses
\nCity of Blinding Lights
\nMiracle Drug
\nSometimes You Can’t Make it on Your Own
\nLove and Peace
\nSunday Bloody Sunday
\nBullet The Blue Sky
\nRunning to Standstill
\nPride in the Name of Love
\nWhere the Streets have No Name
\nOne
\nZoo Station
\nThe Fly
\nWith or Without You
\nYahweh
\nVertigo
\nand, being a U2 gig, it was truly spectacular!
\nA couple of weeks ago I visited my associate vicar friend Catharine in Malpas, on the edge of Newport in Wales. As well as catching up over a few nice meals, we climbed Twmbarlwm, and went down to Cardiff Bay. On top of the old Twmbarlwm Roman Hill fort overlooking the Severn Estuary and the Breckons, I wanted to pray for England, but my spirit really turned me towards Wales, asking God that she would reawaken her passion for Jesus and bring the Good News to the English. It was reminiscent of a time back in 2001 when I climbed the snow capped mound, whilst Catharine was ill in hospital. I wrote this<\/a> back then.

\nThe trip to Cardiff Bay was the point at which I reawakened my passion for architecture. I may well have ended up going down that route as a career if I’d thought about it more during my teenage years. In Cardiff Bay, I really love the way that the buildings on the waterfront have been well themed, and the new concert hall looks fantastic, inside and out.
\nWell, I think that’s my random ramblings for now. Hope you enjoyed them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
