Hi everyone!

I just love this season. Christmas has been made into all sorts of things, but my prayer is to be able to focus on who it is about. No amount of shopping or chasing after stuff will compensate the celebration of Christ's birth, it's just an astounding event!

A lot is happening music-wise, and plenty of it behind the scenes. Last night at the epicc Elevation youth night was awesome. We rocked the house, and even better than that, were able to let the youth of our church know that we love them and care about them. It was cool to be on electric guitar again (I lead on the acoustic on Sundays), and we did a couple of new songs, "Our King Is Here" and "Blessed Holy One", it was just great! Add to that a Christmas Hymn and tracks by Brenton Brown and Tim Hughes, among others, and we worshiped for sure!

We also did an acoustic concert up in Bakersfield a few weeks back. It was great to worship at a church that looked like Starbucks and a pastor that just wanted to be called "Dave". Gotta love it! Their night was a monthly Friday night hangout with tables around and people doing crafts, journaling and sharing stories while music was playing. There were a couple of excellent local artists, as well, and we got to introduce our prototype t-shirts, which turned out pretty cool!

We are headed back in the recording studio in early 2009, so it's great to look forward to laying down some new stuff. It's way too long since "Feet of Clay." With new management, things are more organized, so it's a huge blessing to be able to focus more on the art - writing songs, recording home demos, playing... you know, all the good stuff! We'll keep you posted on the releases, so check back again and SIGN UP ON THE MAILING LIST, it's the best way to stay updated!

In true Christmas spirit, we are also in the last stretch of expecting our brand new baby girl. The due date is January 5th, and we're excited to meet her. Our son Miro is now 2.5, and we're expecting him to be an excellent big brother. Last night, he was up on stage with us and kept jumping through every song... in time! He plays drums, guitars, anything that makes a sound. Just might be there's a musician in the works, let's see what God has in mind!

Much blessings in this awesome season,

Petri

WOW! First of all let me say Congratulations on the your new baby girl that will be here soon. Also, if I haven't said it before in one of my comments, let me say it again, and I know you already know this, but you have a BEAUTUFUL FAMILY & you have been so blessed! When I first joined myspace it was to stay in touch with my nephew in Iraq, and my granchildren that were on here. I wasn't sure how I felt about the whole myspace thing, but now I have been so blessed by all the wonderful Godly people and muscicians that sometimes I have to keep my hands off the keyboard & remember to go about my normal day of taking care of my family and my 85 year old dad that lives wirth me LOL. I will turn on my computer & go to myspace and just play the wonderful worship music that you all have shared on here. My dad will just sit by the computer sometimes and listen to the music. I had no idea that you were so many :) & what a blessing! And to be able to use the internet to encourage other Christians and share the gospel with others is the happiest moments of my life :).

Anyway, I am glad to hear that you have something in the works for the new year. I am in Northwest Indiana, been to California a few times to see relatives, but if I ever get there again, it would be awesome to see you playing somewhere. Keep up the good work spreading the Word and worshipping our Lord, after all, thats wht we are all about, to serve Him :). God Bless you & your wonderful family!

In the Palm of His Hands,
Ruthie
