Music! What kind of music do you like? Do you enjoy anything that was way before your time?
I like a mix of music. Some '30s and '40s music still sounds fresh today, and an older friend of mine is always surprised when I recognize songs from teh '70s and '60s - she says "you're too young for that!" Well, as long as they still play them on the radio, kids are going to grow up with them. 80s, 90, and current music are fine too - I have favorites from each decade.
I also prefer traditional music in the church - not, you know, Gregorian chant traditional, but hymns such as "How Great Thou Art" and "It Is Well With My Soul." Our church used to have an orchestra, but now it has a band with drums and electric guitars and keyboard, so very little traditional music is played. But others are glad for the drumbeat and modern music.

My favorite hymn? I don't know. I hate picking favorites because it changes depending upon what speaks to me at the moment. I do like "Easter Song" by Keith Green. That's probably my favorite. Is that a hymn?
Older hymns? I think I have always preferred "What Child is This", which my Grandmother hated because she said that in calling Jesus the child of Mary the author of the hymn was stating that He was illigitimate. I just thought it was one of the most beautiful songs.
The Little Drummer Boy still makes me cry.
I like jazz, but only live. Something about seeing the musician playing the instrument gives it a whole extra depth. The best study music is Classical music.
I like old music. Folk music like Peter Paul and Mary and Crosby Steils Nash and Young. Fleetwood Mac and other like groups.
I like new music too. Enya is a favorite and Erasure.
I like David Meece and Michael W. Smith as well as The David Crowder Band, Newsboys and Jars of Clay.

Yick...my friend and I were doing cheap things this weekend, so we walked for an hour, then checked out some DVDs from the public library that looked like they would be good. But, apparently, critically acclaimed movies that are "edgy" and "brilliant" only mean that there's a lot of cursing and sex scenes.
Why must so much foulness be injected into a plot? It doesn't make it interesting: it makes it tiresome and stupid. I generally prefer foreign films and children's films...also movies pre-1960s - now I remember why. I need to pay more attention to the film rating. R = not worth it.

K. Guys. I've got a question for you. Opinions of women pastors or ministers? Acceptible or not? What is the basis of scripture regarding this subject?

K. Next, opinions about Christian guidelines regarding a relationship. What are the things to be avoided and where should the line be drawn a partner in the relationship does not understand.

That's a tricky one, the female ministers question.
Paul mentions something about women being silent in church. Today that is explained as the women actually talking to their husbands in church while the preacher was speaking, hence Paul's admonition for them to be quiet.
I don't have anything against female pastors, but I just don't see them as having the same temporal authority as male pastors. So if a woman leads the singing, or children's pastor, that's fine with me. But as for being the head of the whole enchilada, eh...that would not be a church I would feel comfortable attending.

that's my opinion as well. That doesn't mean, though, that a woman can not witness to a man, though. Just means that a woman cannot/should not have spiritual athority over man.

Right...and she can teach, too. She can share her spiritual gifts with men and women without harm.
I don't think the line between teaching and leading is visible to many people, but when you're in it, you know. It's like being a tutor but not the professor. The tutor helps the student to understand what is on the professor's lesson plans, but does not write the lesson plans herself.
The relationship? It's probably best to find someone spiritually matched with oneself. If one is mildly Christian and the other is very much in tune with God's will, then at heart they don't have much in common. I had a boyfriend that I believed had a deep relationship with God - but it may have been more of an intellectual one, because his actions didn't follow his words. They seemed to at first and he had a lot of understanding of Scripture, but emotionally he wanted to do his own thing.
But as for where to draw the line - hm, I'm not a parent but I would say: no heavy petting or sex, do group social activities more than just you two, etc. Standard parent stuff, if they teach that any more.
Also be aware that God must be first in your heart, not the other person. If the other is the one you depend on to make you feel better, and that being with him is going to solve all your problems, think again.
