The car, job, house wife/husband are not the reward, God is.

And that's for an intermediate level drummer.

NRC: This atheist guy I worked with added me on Facebook.  He had a post that said this:

If you don't sin, Jesus died for nothing!

I was like "um...yeah. UNFRIEND"  :-\

Actually Gibbers, the bible has a perfect answer for that.

Check Romans 7:1-5

I actually have a guy FBF in Chicago (he's a COGIC elder, brother of a friend of mine here in Atl) who has a ministry page designed to interact with/debate with/answer questions from atheists. I tried to help him out a few times, but I was in way over my head because he has a lot more patience than I do. Those people can be brutal.

I would say it's a good idea to unfriend if that's not your thing, but I wouldn't want to give the impression that we should automatically unfriend anyone who doesn't believe in God. You never know how He might use you.

Personally, I'd just hide him from my news feed so that he can see every time I glorify God, but I can't see any of his folly. ;D
When you're in love you don't want to fall asleep bc reality is finally better than your dreams.

Yeah he's an older guy so he's stuck in his ways.  The whole news feed thing is a good route to go also.

He's more patient than I am.

My general grievance with atheists is that they are some of the most condescending people I've ever spoken to.  Those are people I pray for that the Lord would reveal himself to them because speaking to them is generally a waste of time.   :(

Catholics have beliefs.  Jehovah's Witnesses have beliefs.  Pentecostals (which I am) have beliefs.  Baptists have beliefs.

Atheists?  Their 'beliefs' are founded on everyone else's beliefs being false.  As such they study and learn to debate and debunk everything we believe, so they revel in an opportunity to tell us how illogical we are.  They glory in their 'logic' and their superior 'intellect'.  They read the bible to debate.  They look for historical inconsistancies.  They are the must frustrating people to talk to because you get the sense that they're trying to look down on you.  As if you're speaking of make-believe and fairy tales and they're trying to 'enlighten' you.

Sometimes I feel like I'm not up to the level of drumming that our church deserves, but then people compliment my drumming, so I don't know... I really don't practice as much as a should. Even if I don't have a proper drumset, I should at least work on my rudiments on a table or something. My strong point is that I can mesh with the other musicians really well, keep a steady beat and follow their "hits" and fills without over-drumming. Weak point is that my chops are at the most basic level while still being usable (think CCM style), so if I wanted to break out from the other musicians and play a crazy fill, I couldn't.

That's all I need. They can all play songs, but I can barely get any hits out of them even when the songs call for it. And when it comes to shouts I feel like doing a facepalm. I think I'm just gonna make them a cd with examples of what I need from them and then try to have a musician's rehearsal. Service could be so much better if we could all gel right.

NRC: I was in training last week.  During the training, we were split into groups and we were all required to give an oral presentation.  When I was done giving my presentation, my instructor said "I can't really say anything bad about you or your presentation! You're just so cuddly and loveable!"

That woulda been cool if a female instructor said it...but I felt a little strange when the comment came from a guy...
