I wouldn't be able to smell it anyways.. lol.I just farted. And I'm glad for y'alls sake that you just get to read about it and not smell it.
I bet you could smell if this guy opened up a can of whoop..Ah nevermind. I hope your smellers start to get better.I wouldn't be able to smell it anyways.. lol.
I once asked a street goer at a parade if he was able to taste that pizza he was inhaling, and he said not really. I'm wondering if there are any correlations to draw from the unsaved to whether or not they lack senses. I'd have to come at this arbitrarily though because that parade moment was when I was at the start of a psychotic spiral. Not really.No.. the genetics are turned off. I'm just the start of a smelless human future.
Well.. I couldn't smell when I was a Christian too.. then again.. maybe I wasn't actually saved? : oI once asked a street goer at a parade if he was able to taste that pizza he was inhaling, and he said not really.

IDK. You might want to seek God and ask Him. He'll give you answers.Well.. I couldn't smell when I was a Christian too.. then again.. maybe I wasn't actually saved? : o
I sought after God but never found Him.
Not my proudest game of Hide & Seek...
he would have to be a good hider if he said he would always be with us
He said He will live inside those that are His. So that makes hiding from Him a pretty moot point.
I'm thinking maybe an information table, meeting and greeting before or after the service (rather than during), multiple ways to contribute (choirs, instrumentalists, A/V techs, cooks etc.) that less chatty people can do. As far as sharing one's faith is concerned, more of a focus on simply being open or transparent about it (not preachy) with non-believing friends in daily life rather than being pushed to approach strangers etc. For someone like me, the former is more genuine, and anecdotally more beneficial.What do you think would work best in designing a service where both introverts and extroverts feel comfortable?
For me, I'm not entirely even sure how I feel most comfortable. As far as music goes... I think I feel most comfortable with the lights dim, and the music so loud that if I did sing.. no one would hear me except God. But.. I'm not sure if that is introversion or something else.
Because nobody would attend?
Although on a more serious note, it does feel like Christianity is more geared towards extroverts. Things like preaching, outreach, sharing testimonies, and being demonstrative in worship just don't come all that easily to us introverts.
Although having said that, I don't really have ideas on how to make church a more introvert-friendly environment. Perhaps part of the problem is that introverts can react differently to stimuli - for example when it comes to worship loud music and being part of a large crowd don't bother me all that much, but I know that's not necessarily the case with others.
I think external motivation of people coming to visit motivates my whole family to clean. I like that encouragement sometimes.I have a problem with procrastinating until things to get into crisis mode before finally tackling them. I am especially this way with cleaning my house. Every time I finally end up doing it, it is a massive, apocalyptic project. Last night I finally did. I was thinking while taking a break that the last time I did it was right before a roommate was going to move in. The time before that I tended to clean for when my ex was going to be coming to visit. This is the first time in a long time that I have cleaned my house for me, and it has felt really good. And after like 4 hours of work I still have two rooms left lol. Those will get done tonight.
