Early morning
We have a nice tradition in the Praise Unit band. Once every week we meet at 8:00 in the morning to rehearse with the musicians. A very nice way to start the day!
This morning we worked on a medley that is written especially for the upcoming tour in Germany. The medley contains five of the songs from our first CD "Whole", but in new arrangements. And I must say that we had some nice ideas this morning. At the end of the medley we go from a powerful ballad into a slow gospel groove. Today we tried some really interesting things on that part. I hope you'll enjoy it if you manage to get to one of our concerts. We would love to meet you!
Here are some pictures from today:
Blessings!

Deutschland ist nicht weit von Dänemark
Gibt es nur wenige Tage, bis wir nach Deutschland gehen!
Gut, dass Sie uns gefunden haben! Ihr Tag war Hope gut. Ich selbst habe in meiner schönsten Kleider gesessen und fertig geschrieben eine Lektion. Es dauerte den ganzen Tag. Aber heute Abend habe ich ins Kino gewesen und sah einen fantastischen Film, der aus Dänemark, Rache war. Ich nur sagen: Siehe es!

Ich habe in Deutschland gewesen. Ich erinnere mich mit Vergnügen der Tour haben wir März 2008 tat. Dann erinnerte ich mich den herzlichen Empfang erhielten wir, wenn wir an den verschiedenen Standorten angekommen. Ich muss erwähnen Husby, die unser erstes Ziel war und diejenigen, die später am Abend hielt eine riesige Party mit allen Arten von Gerichten. Ich erinnere mich auch alle Familien, die wir mit übernachtet haben. Immer lagen die beiden Süßigkeiten auf dem Kissen, wenn Sie schliefen. Freundlich und einladend! Ich freue mich sehr auf diese Reise, und ich hoffe, dass ich zu erfüllen Sie alle ich das letzte Mal getroffen haben!
Bis dahin, Gott segne heiß!

Music brings us together
This weekend has been a lot of fun for me. Johannes and I have been in my hometown working with a choir. The church had invited people from town to be a part of the choir. Friday night, Saturday and Sunday we rehearsed a few gospel songs and had a lot of fun. On Sunday evening we had a concert in the church with a lot of people in the audience.
When this weekend was over I realized that it's less than two weeks left 'til Praise Unit's going on tour in Germany. This means that I am going to sing gospel again in less than two weeks! :) I am so grateful for being a part of Praise Unit! Singing in a gospel choir has given me so much and I tell everybody how great it is to be a part of a gospel choir. My experience is that God really touches our hearts when we share our faith and praise his name while singing. So when we come to Germany we will be happy to meet a lot of old and new friends. Music really brings us together! God bless you!

Inspiration from the south
Some days ago i was out eating lunch with Jakob and Amos. Amos is from Madrid and is here visiting and singing. We had a typical swedish chinese buffé and we ate til we couldn't stand up. And during we spoke almost constantly about music of some kind. It's so great to have this thing in common with a guy i've never met before and to hear him speak so passionate about something i love as much as he does.
And so today I got to meet with Amos and Jakob again, this time at Jakobs and his wife Annas place here in Stockholm where we had dinner with a bunch of other friends. We ate and we sang! Great! You know it's not a very Swedish thing to do at a dinner, to sing. We have this weird thing here that means you shouldn't show off and you shouldn't brag about your talent or wathever.
But I meen, why not? If you love it, do it! And if you believe in it, let people know!
That's what music is about, and I guess that's what beliveing is about too.
Don't be afraid to put yourself out there. I made a new friend out of it.
Thanks Amos!
