Archaeology cat Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I love this list, and yes, I did get all of them. [quote name='Terra Firma' post='1377752' date='Sep 4 2007, 05:36 PM']Maybe yours looks like a flock of seagulls ...[/quote] Now I have that song stuck in my head. . . [quote name='Raphael' post='1378553' date='Sep 5 2007, 04:55 PM']When I was a little kid, I was a very serious child and told my parents that there wasn't enough time to laugh...we needed to be busy doing important work for God. Then I challenged them to find a passage in Scripture where Jesus was laughing. Good intention, but wasn't I just the little Calvinist... St. Philip Neri got it right. We need joy.[/quote] Funny. One of the pastors at my parents' Methodist church insists on having a picture in his office of Jesus laughing. It's really a great image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totus Tuus Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 For some reason, the last few times I've read the Song of Solomon I've had a hard time figuring out which phrases were said by the woman and which were said by the man. I don't remember being so confused when I read it in the past... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kateri05 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 (edited) hey i didn't say what our answer was, just that it was included if you want to assume something, based on the fact that we have an exceptional marriage, that's your business. and besides, clearly, since our marriage are in the top 7% in the country, you should be taking notes, bucko. we're practically EXPERTS over here Edited September 6, 2007 by kateri05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HS_Dad Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I totally got this thread. As young Evangelical males we would sometimes read the Song of Solomon (or Songs) for amusement. (This was before MTV in a simpler time.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[quote name='HS_dad']I totally got this thread. As young Evangelical males we would sometimes read the Song of Solomon (or Songs) for amusement. (This was before MTV in a simpler time.)[/quote] As a teenager who didn't HAVE MTV, I used to read it for amusement, too Until I was about fifteen I really had no idea what the significance of the book was, and thought maybe it was God's sense of humor on display.
