Not sure what the Kool Aid in the title meant though.<BR/><BR/>I like a pastor who isn't afraid of questions, mine is like that as well and seems to like when members come and ask for more info about his message, means they're listening.<BR/><BR/>I too am a notetaker though of late I've not done a good job of it since I misplaced my notebook that I'd been taking notes in.<BR/><BR/>ElaineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5582776205108563450.post-13609464777064057872008-07-14T22:47:00.000-04:002008-07-14T22:47:00.000-04:00I wasn't raised in a Bible-reading family either. ...I wasn't raised in a Bible-reading family either. In fact, while I committed my life to Christ when I was in my teens, I feel like my relationship has been more of a horizontal yo-yo (close to Him, far from Him).Iva https://www.blogger.com/profile/04310995664697030976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5582776205108563450.post-85255163357485420372008-07-14T13:51:00.000-04:002008-07-14T13:51:00.000-04:00I wouldn't exactly call myself a Bible geek..(you ...I wouldn't exactly call myself a Bible geek..(you knew I had to just come back to this, didn't you?) I am the one who will sit there, jot down all the chapters/scriptures that he talks about. (we are really blessed to have a awesome preacher, as well, my dear friend.) Since, I am deaf in my right ear, I tend to just watch him speak (I can read lips, just call it a hobby, lol.)--and 1/2 the time, I think he is actually speaking to me directly, lol. (which I had to explain to him why I watch him speak, he was relieved, I think LOL.). He is readily available to speak anytime outside the church. You see, my dear friend, I was not raised by the Bible. I was raised in a diff. faith.-- OK, where was I..the preachers message is not lost on us. We actually go home and study the word/or the sermon. Even son has gotten into it. Here it is Monday, and we are still discussing it. No sooner than we go back to church on Sunday, then wham, he hits us again with another awesome sermon. BTW, one of the scriptures was one I quoted to son, when he got in trouble. AND he rembered it..he whispered,"OH OH..I KNOW THAT ONE."<BR/><BR/>TY my dear friend for posting this..I often do not know how to put my feelings/or what I am thinking, down like you do. Please keep up your awesome posting. You truely have a gift, my dear friend..Blessings♥Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16466115918585699329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5582776205108563450.post-19130052583066835622008-07-14T10:14:00.000-04:002008-07-14T10:14:00.000-04:00TYVM.♥-I am sure I will be coming back to this po...TYVM.♥-I am sure I will be coming back to this post later on.
