South Carolina, Day 3

Tuesday was day 3 of Hope and Leah's Epic South Carolina Road Trip. I had two GA interviews, chapel, observed a violin lesson, and then we went to orchestra rehearsal. Let's break this down.

Two GA interviews . . . nuff said. All I have to say about that is I am not doing custodial work, but I'm going to accept the other one. It lets me do at least a little music at my job.
Chapel was a lot like Monday. I wish that people who don't believe the Bible would just stop pretending. I mean really, I don't SPEAK greek and hebrew, so what the heck is the point of telling me all that stuff? And if you haven't studied the history of the Scriptures enough to know that modern greek manuscripts are corrupted, well, I don't have much respect for you. I'm never going to be a preacher but I know that. If all you're going to do is go through and correct a holy, righteous God, then why don't you just sit down, shut up, and let those of us who actually believe God read it for ourselves. GRR!
*sigh* I'm done. For now.
The violin lesson was pretty cool to watch. It was with the teacher I'm going to have next year so I was interested to watch her teach. I think she's exactly what I need:)
Orchestra rehearsal was AMAZING. They're playing one of my all-time favorite pieces - Mein Vaterland (My Country) by Smetana. I. LOVE. THAT. MUSIC. Hope played my instrument and she was almost bursting she was so excited. Then we came out of the rehearsal and were packing up/talking about it, and who should come down the stairs but the gentleman who the fine arts building is named after! Ah! He stopped and talked to us for a little bit - that's how we found out who he was. Plus I went to undergrad college with his grandson, so we had something in common, haha. Hope and I felt like we met a celebrity LOL.

And then yesterday we drove home, stopping along the way to eat lunch with The Artist. Good times. I'm glad to be home though. I need a couple mornings in a row without setting an alarm:)

  1. Sounds like you're a stickler for your translation....

  2. Well I have reasons for that, most of which are summed up in the books "Which Version is the Bible?" and "The Understandable History of the Bible."
    I don't agree with every word, but they make a lot of great points.
