The statistics on that are rather dramatic in most denominations.<br /><br />Therefore, we put up with a lot we don't like. I do like "Pharaoh, Pharaoh," though.

I'd never seen the Senior Preacher turn colors before until he came into the "tabernacle" (a roofed-over area where the "formal" worship was held) and heard 200 kids belting out "Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road." We'd been rehearsing and memorizing praise music for 45 minutes, and this was a bit of a brain break (and it let us wiggle). Senior Preacher was. Not. Amused.<br /><br />LittleRed1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-88494857904147552272015-02-13T19:56:21.870-05:002015-02-13T19:56:21.870-05:00I love campfire songs, too.

Also, there are songs that sound good as an instrumental that are pretty silly when converted to a campfire song with words--especially if they have a syncopated rhythm that won't translate easily to a sing-song group style.Texan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/10479561573903660086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-25013388924609578092015-02-13T12:29:19.039-05:002015-02-13T12:29:19.039-05:00I loved the MASH theme until I heard the actual so...I loved the MASH theme until I heard the actual song... <br /><br />I'm not sure what I think about re-purposing a song about suicide. On one hand, it is turning the tune from its original lie of despair, but on the other hand, I still can't shake the association. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
