Friberg's Friday Favorite

Today, I have the opportunity to open for Kutless. Here is a thought-provoking song that my dad found and introduced to me.

Wednesday's Brian Teaser

I can't wait to see the Twins new stadium. The open air, the smell of the food from the concession stands, and all the elements...it is gonna be sweet!

I was 8 years old when I saw my first Twins game in the Dome. Name the opponent that the Twins played against in my inaugural experience to baseball.

Hint: The team was another American League team.

Prize to the winner!

Opening Act!




Over 700 people came to Westwood to watch Spirit 92.9's Opening Act: Vocal competition. We had a packed house and the atmosphere was electric!

I started the whole night by welcoming everyone to the church and then prayed for the contestants. This prayer time was amazing - a community of believers coming together to support each other and believe that God was taking these eight individuals on a path that glorified and honored Him.

The eight singers each had their time on the stage and did a great job. The judges made small comments after each performance and the 92.9 ladies filled in the gaps with their own personal touch.

At the end of the night, the audience voted and turned in their top four choices of the night. While the votes were being counted, we worshiped together in the auditorium. Again, another amazing picture - different denominations, different backgrounds all worshiping together, lifting up the name of the Lord.

After we were finished with all the prepared music, we needed one more song. For me, this was the best part of the night. I moved to the keyboard, told the band to play in the key of A, and led How Great Is Our God. With hands in the air and voices lifted up, we continued to worship. At the end of the song, I stepped away from the mic, told the musicians to stop playing, and entire room sang the final chorus (acapella) two more times. It was spectacular!

Finally, the top four winners were announced (Christy, Foster, Bryan, and Loren). Everyone was excited and we knew that we experienced an amazing evening.
