The Hall of Fire

Oooh, pretty pics! Can I join in the fun? (Yeah, I'm not waiting for answer, so that would be a rhetorical question. ;) ) Here's one I took at Hocking Hills State Park, here in Ohio (USA). It was very cold that day, about 30F, but this place was absolutely beautiful--very Elven. :D (Sorry, hobby, bu...

Very nice post, Lali - how was your concert? :) Thanks, hobby! It went very well. We sang it the best that we ever had, I think. I found it to be quite powerful (not with every song, but with several). Our director was pleased. I was glad that I didn't mess up any of my narration lines. So, yeah, i...

He is one of those people who genuinely believes that in the act of performance a magic can be created between audience and players that is greater than the sum of the parts, a mystical intangible experience which cannot be defined but can be felt I find this to be true, too.

Very cool, thread! For those of you who are Christians, I would highly recommend reading anything by Harold Best. Music Through the Eyes of Faith is a great one to begin with; Unceasing Worship is a challenging read, but also very good. (I'm still working through that one; it's one of those books th...

:D Good, INTP! (Let's see. <checks MBTI list> Hmmm, I don't see your name on there at all. I'll have to go fix that ASAP. As a fellow INTP, I'm sure you can appreciate my geekiness. ;) ) Actually, I did see the announcement; I was just busy with other duties at the time and didn't think I'd have the...

Great post, Pearl!



(I love that pic, too! I think it's Irish, actually, but it might be Welsh, come to think of it. I'll have to dust off some neurons to remember where I got it from. Either way, it's very Entish and Elvish, and I loved it the minute I saw it. )

It's an interesting idea for Christians to change the date we celebrate Christ's birth. But...nah. I don't think I'd want to do that. It's true I struggle with commercialism and materialism. It's more true that I just struggle with wanting to get all of the "stuff" done that I'm supposed t...

:) :D Nice to be here! (I see several of you have been here a while and NOT told me. :suspicious: That's fine. I won't take it personally.) ;) Thanks for the welcome, everyone. :hug: Now to find time to have a meaningful conversation. Of course, if it means being able to procrastinate even longer on...
