One of the churchs we used to go to, the pastor took about that long in Romans.

How about a Pastor who took more than a year to get through chapter 5? :P

I'd respect that guy! :D

At our Bible Study we would sometimes barely make it through the Bible Bee book in time because our studies were so in-depth! :) We would stay up till midnight sometimes… plus the fellowship was AWESOME! :D

Then come to my church, and you can meet him! :)

I can imagine! I wish we had done something like that. :D

Maybe someday. :)

I can imagine! I wish we had done something like that. :D

Okay guys, please don't stick out your tongue at the pastor and how long it takes to get through a passage of scripture.

Ian: I'll email you tomorrow. I can't do it right now.

Sorry. He jokes about it sometimes himself. :P

Okay. :)

He wasn't sticking his tongue out because of that! He was doing it in a friendly way, basically saying jokingly "My pastor's better, 'cuz he takes longer to get through passages." :D

When we left Bible Study we would say "Good-morning" instead of "Good-night" because if dad and someone else got caught up in a discussion that's what it was… lol

Okaaaayyyy…. lol :)

Haha!! I know how that is!

I'm not kidding! It did take him at least a whole year to get through that one chapter! :)

Oh, I believe you! I was just kinda defending your use of the :P. :P

I'm thinking about telling a funny story about one of those nights at Bible Study soon…. would you like to hear it?

Haha!! I know how that is!

chuckles

Of course we would! :D

Sure!

Of course we would! :D

Alright, here goes… goes to write it up Ahh, those were the good old days…..

waits -patiently- impatiently :P

*waits -patiently- impatiently* :P

Gtg. Bye.

Bye Carissa!

Aw, see you later, Carissa! :)

Does anyone get the feeling that they are banging their head against a wall when talking to an optimist musician?

What's wrong with being optimistic?

I have never talked to an optimist musician, so I wouldn't know from personal experience.

If you are the accompanist of said optimist there are all sorts of things wrong with it.

Such as?

?

Such as they think: "I can just start whenever I want and twist the rhythm whenever I want and they can just follow me instead of the music." and "We don't really need to practice much, it will go just fine!"

Yes, I believe I see what could be wrong with that. This didn't happen to occur at any important occasion, did it?

That's not an optimist. That's someone who thinks they can do whatever they want.

Nope. I bang head against the wall when I can't get past word 287, in a 1,000 word Constitutional Law essay that is due tomorrow. facepalm and shakes head

It has happened plenty in the past, but at the moment I have an optimist musician who is actually the assistant of a director of a children's choir I am accompanying. The assistant has got it into her head that I shouldn't bother the director and so won't give me her contact information so that I can ask her what music I need to know when. It is so frustrating!

The story is posted…. there is another really funny one but… I think I'll let Giant tell it if he want to. :) LOL

Pessimists think "But if I do that they probably won't be able to follow me, and disaster will ensue."

And pessimists think "We need to practice a lot because otherwise it is sure to go badly instead of going badly just being a possibility."

Just because they thought different than a pessimist doesn't mean they're an optimist. Also I sometimes want to bang my head on a wall when I'm with a major pessimist. (No offense)

I can imagine… And it must truly be frustrating, for you to use an exclamation point, and such an adverb as "so"!

LOL!

They confessed optimism openly, and yes, I am sure the head banging impression was mutual.

Prediction for Margaret's closing advice for today: "Goodbye children, and don't mix optimism with pessimism."

LOL!

Exactly! What was really irritating was she said I could Facebook the director but not email. I felt my eyes bulging out and my face getting red. I was thinking "That's ridiculous! That's not even logical! What is wrong with you? I'm not on Facebook!"
