Pic(s) of the Day - When I Look at the World

Sorry I've let the "Pic of the Day" slide. This weekend has been a bit crazy. By the time Sunday morning rolls around I will have worked 41 hours between 11PM Thursday night and 8 AM Sunday morning.

SO, instead of the usual pic of the day, here is a video I made. It's a bit personal because it is a compliation of all the mission projects I've been on and put to a song that pretty much sums up my feelings about it all. I didn't intend to share it as it was for my own rememberances but it seems to have come in handy. You will see Haiti, Romania, Pine Ridge, and Hurricane Katrina. I think it takes about 3 - 4 minutes. If you click on the "YouTube" icon at the bottome of the player, it will take you to YouTube.com where you can see it on the full screen and get a much better feel for it.



When I Look at the World by U2

When you look at the world
What is it that you see
People find all kinds of things
That bring them to their knees

I see an expression
So clear and so true
That changes the atmosphere
When you walk to the room

So I try to be like you
Try to feel it like you do
But without you it’s no use
I can’t see what you see
When I look at the world

When the night is someone else’s
And you’re trying to get some sleep
When your thoughts are too expensive
To ever want to keep

When there’s all kinds of chaos
And everyone is walking lame
You don’t even blink now do you
Don’t even look away

So I try to be like you
Try to feel it like you do
But without you it’s no use
I can’t see what you see
When I look at the world

I can’t wait any longer
I can’t wait ’til I’m stronger
Can’t wait any longer
To see what you see
When I look at the world

I’m in the waiting room
I can’t see for the smoke
I think of you and your holy book
When the rest of us choke

Tell me tell me
What do you see
Tell me tell me
What’s wrong with me
