For you who are new to the emerging church this is a great opportunity to hear one of ... http://nordicinfluence.crossnet.se/?p=254 I just want to say that I’m still alive, I’m settled down in Stockholm, and I’m excited about the new year. http://nordicinfluence.crossnet.se/?p=253 This is the last blog post from me for a longer period. I like the idea of blogging and I am definitely a blog reader but my own blogging will be on ice for some time. TSK once said something that might be true in my journey right now: blogging ... http://nordicinfluence.crossnet.se/?p=252 Fika is a Swedish word for having a coffee/tea with someone/somebody. That’s what I have been doing the last days/weeks. That’s the only thing people do here in Stockholm. It’s a part of the culture. Some days you just go around from coffee shop to coffee shop and ... http://nordicinfluence.crossnet.se/?p=251 Found this pic at Tommy’s Danish blog Viasacro. Thought the image was pretty cool… http://nordicinfluence.crossnet.se/?p=250 I will here try to clarify what some people call the emerging church or the emerging church conversation. The points I write here are just some of many more perspectives of what I see the emerging church is all about. Important is also that I’m always on the move, meaning ... http://nordicinfluence.crossnet.se/?p=249 I’ve spent the last week in Finland. First at my parents’ house in Vasa and then with my sister in Helsinki. It was soo great to meet my mum and my dad, my two sisters with their husbands, and my brother and his family. They all made me feel very ... http://nordicinfluence.crossnet.se/?p=248 I came to think about a conversation I had some weeks ago with one of my friends in LA.

After a while he pointed out to ... http://nordicinfluence.crossnet.se/?p=247 Rumours tells that Freddy recently took over the role of Nicolas Cage in The Weather Man. Btw, I noticed that it takes about four weeks for the American movies to reach Sweden (!) I don’t know why I’ve been writing down a list of my recent watched movies, but ... http://nordicinfluence.crossnet.se/?p=246 My first phone was a Nokia. During the years I have had Siemens, SonyEricsson and Samsung, but now I’m back with Finnish Nokia again. This one is really cool. I’m downloading music videos and checking my email… it feels more like a computer than a phone… http://nordicinfluence.crossnet.se/?p=245 The jet lag is a fact. Time is 7 am in the morning and I can’t sleep, so I thought this would be a perfect time to write a blog post. I’m back in Scandinavia! I’ve settled down at my friend Marcus’ place in Stockholm. It feels strange. It is a ... http://nordicinfluence.crossnet.se/?p=244 In a couple of hours I’m taking off from the Los Angeles International Airport (again). This time I won’t go back to LA, at least for a while! I’m transferring in London after 10 hours and continuing to Stockholm for about 3 more hours. I spended my last night in LA ... http://nordicinfluence.crossnet.se/?p=242 When I’m writing this I’m laying at the 30th floor of a hotel apartment in Hawaii looking out over the ocean. I can’t complain about the view. My friend Ramin and his girlfriend Mie has been so friendly and hospitable to me. They gave me a air matress and placed ... http://nordicinfluence.crossnet.se/?p=241 GodBlogCon2005 http://nordicinfluence.crossnet.se/?p=240 Andrew recommended me to try the desktop blogging tool Ecto.
