The soon ending summer vacation - but it's all good.

Tomorrow I will get to see most of the Skien staff again after a long summer.
I'm really looking forward to it, and hope you are too. ;)

Been a while since I've been on here posting, but that doesn't mean I haven't done anything.

Since I last wrote, I've celebrated David's birthday together with him at the U2 concert in Oslo July27th. We even got to be inside that fence right in front of the stage. 37 000 behind us, 3 000 around us, together with us inside that closed area. It was a big experience. Especially my visual senses were satisfied together with my audial (can you say that? My listening senses. You know, Sound). They had a huge stage, with some extremely cool lighting effects. Just hiring 12 people to run your in-back-drop-spot-lights shows that you, as a band, value the visual as well as the "audial".

Yeah, and after that, I went to Ålesund for a week, meeting up with my best friend, Jan-Erik, who was driving the sightseeing train in Ålesund for four weeks in July. And, I got to see where Birgitte lives when not in Skien, as well as doing some fishing, both by fishing rods and by nets. Cleaning the net, though, was a long lasting experience...

That is mainly what my days have contained these last few weeks, together with other things spread out in between, that are making an interesting and beautiful photograph.

God has done some deep stuff in me, so my feelings are so much better now, and I praise Him alone for that!

Let Him be God, and don't try stepping up believing you can take his place. Not even in your own life can you do that. Your "own" life doesn't belong to you! He paid for it.
It's His.

until next time: Draw closer to Jesus!

Mae | The Everglow

Mae | What Is Mae
Sitting here listening to The Everglow by Mae.
Was introduced to it by David, my brother, and it's SO good.

They have the most perfect melodies and harmonies, creating something new of the now soon olding rock. They're one of those rock bands who succeed including piano in their rock, making some really cool collaborations between the strings and the keys.

Uplifting and good lyrics. Not the typical cliche, but more the artistic outcome of a life lived.

Ok, just check it out, ok?
I've made it really simple for you guys.

Will write some more pretty soon.
