I like men's voices to be very strong and powerful, like James Earl Jones'.

Loreena McKennitt is my favorite. I wouldn't necessarily say she makes me "melt", but her voice is beautiful and soothing.

Smoke
by outnfree inheard a funny joke on this morning's radio drive time show.
one guy always does an irreverent treatment of the news:.
"in vatican city, when the college of cardinals meet to elect the new pope, a white puff of smoke will appear if they've chosen his successor.

I remember a CO who told a brother he disapproved of his career. The brother was a fireman. All I could think of was: "at least he works for a living!!!"
I also remember an elder in my congregation who disapproved of gum chewing during the meeting. Okkkayyy....I just let you smell my morning breath.
My MS ex-husband was a narrow-minded, opinionated, racist (although he never admitted it). I recall how he reacted when a young, white brother was helping out a black sister by holding her baby. My ex-husband took the brother aside and told him "this looks odd. People might think something sexual is going on between you and this baby. Maybe you sould give it back to it's mother".

Remember getting out of bed Saturday morning, silently cussing to yourself because you really had no desire to go out in Service? Especially on a Saturday, when you would prefer to sleep in or just bum around? Or even go to a yard sale? Then, you had to drag yourself and your family to the Field Service Meeting, where everyone supposedly participated in the Daily Text before making "car groups"? Some car groups would have the priviledge of having a pioneer with them so the remainder of the publishers could feel inadequate in their ability to preach the good news. Most of us dead-beat publishers would say "oh, I have to break off early for a ...." and make up some excuse.
I did this; I used to say "I have to leave at 10:30 for an appointment", and leave it at that. The appointment was with my flower garden, I think.
Just for fun, I should have done the following:
"I am struggling with a hangover, so I can only be out for an hour or so"
"let's skip the Daily Text, and talk about what is really on our minds"
"This head covering doesn't match my outfit, so I'll pray without it"
"let's say we skip field service and go boating"
"please meet my boyfriend. He is staying for the weekend, so I thought I would bring him along"
"I have to prepare for the Easter Egg Hunt at my child's school, so I will leave the car group just before break"
"say, let's just take a break at Mac's and count our time there"
"Our time started when we left the old magazines at the laundromat 40 minutes ago, right?"
"I'm meeting my professor later at school for some one-on-one tutoring, so I will be leaving the car group at 10 o'clock"
"Can we count time our time at the mall if we leave magazines in the vestibule?"

Shop at yard sales (don't want to invite demons in)
I must have missed that study article. Is this for real? No yard sales for fear of demon possession?
