@seekjustice Yes, the words are more similar to the older hymns. I suppose this is something that only someone who has studied music extensively would notice, but the style of music is rather different from that of the traditional hymns. I can’t analyze it, as my brother could. I can only have a vague notion that something doesn’t sound right. 😛
Loaded question. 😛 We used to go to a non-denominational church which if we labeled it would probably be “Reformed” as to doctrine. About three years ago my grandmother started having to use a wheelchair and moved in with us, and our old church wasn’t wheelchair accessible, so now we go to a little Baptist church near us. We have a few small doctrinal disagreements with them, and they have a young pastor so I really miss the deeper sermons we got at our old church, but we’re happy with the new church for the most part. We especially miss the old church because we’d been going there for around ten years, so we knew everyone very well and everyone knew us, and we still haven’t got that connection to the new church yet. 🙂 Oh, and both of the churches try to sing only traditional hymns. 😉 We also travel a lot for the ministry, so we visit churches all over the country in many different denominations. The most important thing, obviously, is that the sermons are taken directly and literally from the Bible.
How about you? What’s your church like?

@seekjustice I always get scared when someone asks me to describe something, because I’m horrible at descriptions. I feel like I didn’t answer your question… 😛
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
😛 Since we usually only have someone playing guitar, everything kind of sounds the same 😀
We go to a Baptist church too and its the same one we’ve been going to since I was about five. it has a lot of issues, but my dad is in a leadership role, and I think that with God’s guidance and help, its getting better, a little at a time.

@seekjustice Since churches are made up of imperfect humans, I guess every church must have it’s imperfections. But it’s nice to know we can grow in Christ.
So, you didn’t answer my question about whether you were listening to anything today. 😉 By the way, what made you leave so suddenly earlier? Lunch?
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
Some just have more than others 😛
Oh, sorry! I didn’t mean to ignore it 😀 Currently I just have all the music on my computer on random, so its going from Casting Crowns to A Tale of Two Cities, Phantom, Les Mis, Anastasia, etc.
I’m not sure…did I leave?? I’m sure I was talking to you while I was eating lunch. But that could have been it. Not sure.

@seekjustice Haha. Once around Christmastime I put on a playlist of my favorites on my phone and was playing it while doing housework, and my mom got really confused because it was going from a hymn to a folk song to a Christmas song to a song from a musical. She had to stop me and ask if it was a playlist or what, because the songs totally didn’t go together! 😛
Well, if you go back up on this topic you’ll see that I was the last to reply in our conversation this afternoon, so when you didn’t reply I assumed you just had something else to do. 🙂 Makes sense if you forgot too, though, because I’ve done that. 😛
Now I’m hungry, so I’m going to need to find a midnight snack. 😉 What with you going to bed early every night, have you ever known the joy of a midnight snack?
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
Yeah, my mum hates it too 😀 it confuses her.
Whoops. I hadn’t realised that I’d not replied. I did go and do some typing with the internet off though, so that might be why. 🙂
We’re not allowed midnight snacks and I don’t usually stay up long enough to eat them anyway. What do you eat for your midnight snack?

@seekjustice Haha. 🙂
In my family we usually stay up pretty late, and basically the rule is as long as you can be up in time to do school in the morning you can stay up as late as you want. 😛 Some of us like to stay up later than others.
It varies. 😉 Last night I had yogurt with frozen blackberries, and tonight it’s tea and some sort of cinnamon bar thing. What would you eat for snacks in the daytime? I remember discussing a kind of cracker you have in Australia, but I think you don’t call them crackers… 😛
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
Crackers tend to refer to plain biscuits we eat with cheese or dip. Shapes are what I think you’re talking about. They are flavoured cracker type things. Liquorice is popular in our house and apples, oranges, pears, watermelon etc when those are in season.

@seekjustice We eat crackers with toppings and dips all the time too. (Biscuit is a totally different food here.) The crackers we eat are mostly Saltine types, if you’ve ever hear of those…and I’m rather doubtful? Snacks don’t seem to have the same names across the globe even if they are similar. 😛 The most famous example of that I think is the chips/crisps/fries confusion. 😉
We love fruit too, but I think the detestation and horror of licorice is almost universal in my family. I think there’s one person who likes it, and that might be my mom, but usually the mention of it brings sighs of disgust. 😛 And yes, we do spell it “licorice.” 😀
Now, goodnight! See you tomorrow, and please encourage me to seriously strive to complete Camp NaNoWriMo this month!

I’ve never heard particularly of Saltine crackers, but I think I can guess what they are. Just plain crackers with salt on them?
Whaaat? Liquorice is great 😛
I will endeavour to do so 🙂

@jenwriter17 I’m so sorry! I completely forgot about answering your questions about the Great Depression! 🙁
I have a question of my own, though. In what year exactly is your book set? Because the Great Depression covered a whole decade, and I’d like to get my facts accurate. 😉
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
@rochellaine That’s totally okay, I kinda forgot I even asked the questions! 😀
I haven’t figure out an exact year yet, but probably around the middle of the depression. 1934-ish I guess. That might change though depending on what works best for my story.

www.jennaterese.com@rochellaine (ooh you’re doing camp nano? 🙂 ) @seekjustice @alia @ariel-ashira @catwing @dekreel @dragon-snapper I’m on, working on rewriting and more website stuff.
*happy sigh* I love how, even though there’s just a few of us left here, we’re still blowing through the Writers’ Corners. 😀

www.jennaterese.com@jenwriter17 I’m going to try. 😛
I’m here now, but it’s been an hour since you posted. Are you still around?
