Well, Ian, maybe not "silently" but a bit more quietly than you were doing, eh, mahn!? :basic05

'Speaking as one who hears way too much yelling ... constant dripping [reminding me of somewhere in Proverbs] ... and I do like things a lot more quiet, after too much of that. 'Bet Christine really doesn't mind seeing you get a wee bit excited about something, considering you seemed too down a bit earlier to be able to get excited about much of anything. Just try to do it a wee bit quieter ... maybe? Try the 'stage whisper' sort of yelling ... kind of like this:

YES !!

rather than:

YES !!

Oh, Ian! I was partially being smart ... yet, also there's a difference between the "STAGE" whisper of which I spoke and honest-to-goodness very low-volume whispering. When they "WHISPER" on stage, it's still going to be heard throughout the theatre ... there's just a difference pitch/ambience to it than an outright yell. ;)

Go ahead ... enjoy your game ... have FUN! :basic05

I knew an old minister who, when he felt Gods presence during a service would put his head down low and shout HALLELUJAH and when he shouted God came down even more until it was contagious and many others began praising God! It was during these kind of services that the bulletin was done away with because God had an order of service He wanted! And, when you left you felt like you had been at camp meeting!

Last Sunday morning, I prayed with one of my dear ladies that had been told her whole life, "women have to keep silent in the church." The evangelists sermon had her wanting to shout and praise God. I told her that her shouting is between her and the Lord. I told her the Lord would be praised, and she would be uplifted if she did what God wanted her to do.

It is a shame that she had been praying about this. This is a good godly lady who loves the Lord. This whole thing about keeping silent was eating her up. I told her God loved her and the decision was between her and the Lord. She came out with an uplifted countenance. My prayer is that she will shout when the Spirit of God hits her.
