I had a great time on vacation last week and actually was able to score some tickets to see The Late Show with David Letterman. Special guests included Katie Couric and U2! Yes, that's right... Bono and U2 were there, and we got to sit third row center for the performance. It was awesome. Here's the show clip of "Bono and Me". I'm the dorky one seeing myself on TV and pointing to the monitor.

Todd, that was a great 12 seconds! You’ve got 14 minutes and 48 seconds left.
Sincerely,

Awesome! What fun! And they framed you nicley… = )
That was complete and total awesomeness.
Is that a weakness of blogs and social networking? Sometimes we don’t fully enjoy the experience because we are consumed with the technology or thinking about how we are going to be perceived when others see it later. I recently learned of a mixer hosted by a local college ministry. Rather than PARTICIPATING in the event, the majority of the students had out their cell phones so that they could CAPTURE the event and post it to Facebook. I know I have personally missed out on blessings because I was too busy contemplating, “how can I use this in a class, sermon, coaching opportunity, etc”
Dave,
No… not at all… it was just me being a dork.
Don’t overthink it.

Todd,
I was actually watching the broadcast of Letterman last week and thought...that guy looks like Todd Rhoades! Knowing you were on vacation, I was hoping you were able to score tickets.
Todd,
You are a dork, but had I been there I would have been a dork too!
Derek
Unlike some bloggers, I’m not afraid to admit my dorkiness!
Thanks, Derek!
Todd
Hey, I saw you an tv during the show too. I had no idea it was you, but I saw you nonetheless.
There’s a new item for your resume “Appeared on the Letterman show with Bono.” Kudos!
Let all the Dork-men unite!
Yeah, self-awareness is a good thing. We are no Christian hipsters.
Derek
I am also a dork! Proud of it. (all musicians are… even the “cool ones"… Bono, for instance… HUGE dork…
Todd:
I agree it is hard for us to discern when God is speaking to us, whether to us directly, or through another, whether the person call themselves prophet or not.
Even though this is a hard word to receive, I lean more toward heeding it, than ignoring it.
Quote from A.A. Tozer, “If you’ve never heard God say anything hard, I doubt you’ve ever heard Him say anything at all.”
Todd, not to take away from your moment but I met MR T once. I know, I know I am a pretty big deal.
Wow! How awesome for you! Thanks for posting this and welcome back.
what a rockin house band! and Bono to boot! I would love to see Letterman some day. Great job Todd!
Todd, I am much more impressed with you than Bono!
I am glad you enjoyed the show.
I was watching that night...I saw you in the crowd...but thought nah...just someone that looked like you. It was the only night I watched Letterman that week.
So Cool to be there live.
