@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…[Read more]

@rochellaine

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 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 c…[Read more]

@rochellaine

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.  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 d…[Read more]

@rochellaine

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…[Read more]

@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?

@rochellaine

😛 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 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… 😛

@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 ri…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I just looked up “How Deep the Father’s Love” and it was only written thirty years ago, which surprised me because I thought it was much older than that! It uses really old language and it was written as a hymn, rather than a more modern worship song (and I thought it was written by Wesley or something 😛 )

I believe I’ve heard all…[Read more]

@seekjustice Don’t take for certain what I said about “How Deep the Father’s Love.”  I actually don’t remember what it sounds like or any of the lyrics or anything.  I don’t think it’s in our hymnbook, and that’s why I don’t know it better than I do.  I have no real idea whether it’s a bridge hymn or not. 😉  That was just a guess.

@seekjustice Oh yes, no, my headache’s gone, thankfully! 😀

Yes, I know most of those.  I think “How Deep the Father’s Love” might be what we call a “bridge” hymn, and we don’t sing it possibly for that reason.  I’m not sure.  I’ve heard it a couple of times when we go to conferences and stuff.  “Come Thou Fount” is one we sing quite often. 🙂 …[Read more]

@rochellaine

You did say you had a headache so I thought you might have gone to bed earlier. Obviously not though 😛

None of us are particularly musically inclined, so not really, but I do love when we do similar things at Youth group.

Well, some of the hymns we sing are “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” (one of my favourites) “Amazing Grace”…[Read more]

@seekjustice Ooooh!!  I just got your document!  Haha, it would be very unusual for me to be asleep at ten thirty p.m., wouldn’t it? 😛

I just spent a lovely hour and a half singing hymns with a couple of my sisters and brothers at the piano. 😀 😀 😀  Do you ever do that with siblings or friends?  I wonder if you know many of the same hymns we…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh, haha!  How silly of me.  Of course June 1st would be Sunday for you too.  So you get to start a day before I do, but you end before I do too. 🙂

Not really.  Talking to you about singing groups last night reminded me of a singing group I like, so I’ve listened to a couple of songs by a folk type singing group from the 50s…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Okay 😀 (I forgot again. tis Sunday for you)

Technically I do start a day before you, but today’s July 2nd, so I’m still starting a day late 😛

Listening to anything interesting lately?

@seekjustice I can chat for a little bit, but I’ve got a headache, so I might randomly decide to take a nap without giving you notice. 😉  Just warning you ahead of time. 😛

Did you realize that both times this year Camp NaNoWriMo started on a Sunday for me and a Monday for you, so you got to start day of and I have to wait? 😛

@rochellaine @jenwriter17

Anyone around today?

@rochellaine Oaky 🙂
Oh wow, you read the whole thing already?! 😀
