The plan for last Sunday, was in essence the plan for most Sundays. Go to church, or at least all the things related to the church, go home afterwards, get lunch, do laundry, write my next post. The usual Sunday activities. Firstly, the usual pre-church breakfast and bible study had fallen away and the German and Russian service were combined for the 15th anniversary of the church. You thought singing worship songs in German were a challenge? Try Russian. It’s just funny symbols on the screen. It is actually a strange feeling knowing the melody and the English words to a song but not being able to sing along because you don’t have the faintest idea what is on the screen. So joyful humming ensued. It was actually an amazing experience and luckily, never thought I would say this, they translated almost everything that was said in Russian to German. So from absolutely no idea to a vague feeling of this feels familiar.
After this experience a friend came up to me and after a brief conversation I found myself with new plans. The Boss had spoken and I was on my way to see him. The Boss being the one and only Bruce Springsteen of course. Hadn’t even known he was in Berlin. Not being the biggest fan in the world, I only know a few of his major hits that my parents loved. This however did not prevent me from enjoying the show. The thing with the old school musicians is that they know how to put up a show and how to look after their fans. From getting a little kid to sing with him on stage to dancing with a random fan because her sign asked him to, he entertained.
Olympia stadium (Olympiastadion if you want to be technical) just before the show started
I have to confess that this post was written Monday evening already. Life and stuff. So even though this is slightly out of date I’ve decided to still post it
Sooo jealous ?
Thought you would be 🙂
