Yeah. Anything but Apple. Apple products are over-priced and over-rated. Apple users suffer from an identity crisis and have low self-esteem. :rolleyes:

Ouch...just ouch. That really cuts me to the core. I was actually just shopping for a car charger today because I left the end of mine in a half full cup of coffee and it sort of fried it....lol. They want like 30 bucks for an apple one!

That's terrible. I have a Samsung and I absolutely love it. The only thing that is a little annoying is that the part that goes in my phone is not an ordinary adapter and the one I do need is right around that same ballpark of $30. So I just carry my charger everywhere I go. Problem solved. lol

PS: I hope my terminology is right, if not please forgive me

We do? :eek: Who knew that a PC and an android would solve all my problems!!!
 
I don't care for Apple products at all, but I think it's a bit rough to say Apple users suffer from an identity crisis and have low self-esteem. But I can't help thinking they're impervious to Apple's shiny, clever and pervasive marketing schemes.

Well.. well... well.... I owe you all an explanation.

Firstly, I was joking and that is why I put the :rolleyes: at the end of my comment. Secondly, and this is my fault, I should have used less-abrasive words.

I apologize if my words hurt anybody. That was not my intention. Personally, I have a strong dislike towards Apple products, barring the first generation ones, which I acknowledge were truly innovative. Also, the millions of Apple "fanboys" who go berserk when a new version of the same Apple product hits the shelves, annoy me to the core.

Anyway, that does not justify my strong words. So, please accept my apologies, if my words hurt any of you. :)

Well...I still have an iPhone 5s and it's up for renewal and I've thus far restisted the temptation to upgrade. :)

Australia, Australia. This is me! You're my brother from the same, (sort of) mother (Eve).

Sorry, I HAD to put that meme. :p

In India we have many such fanboys. There used to be a few fanboys of Blackberry, but I think they have vanished now. :p
 
Well... I was really only asking about Apple Music which is a music service like Spotify and, is $9.99 per month compared to Spotify's $9.90, so it's not really overpriced. Thing is, Apple music library has like 30 million songs compared to other services like Pandora, for example. A lot of new bands were first heard from there but, when they get big, they publish their songs to iTunes lol. So I was just weighing the pros and cons and thinking if I should cancel my spotify for Apple music.
 
I've been considering an iPhone for awhile, but it has been a hard sell. I really don't want to give up my expandable storage. :(
 
So it seems like a fair while ago, I gave my USB to the worship leader of my new church. On this USB was a video recording of me playing my violin as a kind of audition for the worship team. I had moved from a predominantly elderly populated local church of about 50 adults to a church of a fair few hundred (I have a poor concept of amount) people in the heart of the city.

So in that space and time, I did ask myself, "Am I skilled and anointed enough to play with such a talented and anointed group?", "Can I truly be a piece that compliments and fits together with the others?", "What if I can't do one of the very things that makes me feel so alive, standing together with others to glorify God and spilling over with adoration, together?" I had so many questions and 'What if's'.

And then all the 'what if's' lulled away, the doubt no longer stood its ground, and I rested. I just... rested. Abiding in my Beloved while He abides in me. In the waiting, I breathed because if anything I know this: my Jesus is faithful in seeing this lovesick child grow in the best way possible, even if it doesn't make sense to me in the mean time.

Then moments ago I got a message from the worship leader saying he would love for me to be on the team and asked when I am available for worship for December.

My birthday is in 6 days. I think Jesus is pretty sneaky with the birthday presents.
