what do christians do for fun on free time?

[other one]

That awesome picture, other one, reminds me of New Zealand.

 

My `fun` was to fly. I learned to fly small aircraft & would love to fly over friends places & do a `wiggle the wings,` or just look around. Then when coming into land I would try different techniques such as `full power from a long way off, or full flaps high above the runway & then descend rapidly & float onto the `keys,` the end of the tarmac.

 

When the aero club had a `fun` day we would have competitions as to who could `flour bomb` from the air, the closest to the target on the ground. Because a lot of these days were held on people`s properties we had to be careful when we took off or landed, to not run into the cows or kangaroos that might wander on to the runway which was a paddock.

I have a friend who has a plane....    a cool thing that  some of his pilot buddies do is to take a over sized roll of toilet paper up to about 8,000 feet and toss it out the window.     Then they will make turns to come around and cut the unrolled paper into halves with their wings and see how many times they can cut it until they get down to about 800 feet.   Slow tight maneuvering.   I don't think I have any pictures though.

Hi other one,

 

They would be skilful to do that, the tight turns. One thing I didn`t like was to practise `stalls,` for when you pull the stick back more & more & the stall siren blared at you, when you looked behind you there was the earth straight down & then of course you had to quickly push the stick forward & you then headed at a great speed of knots towards the earth.

 

I did enjoy gliding also which was very peaceful.

 

I think your skill & gifting in taking photos is a blessing as it is something you can share with others. God seems to give you those `special` times & places to capture. Can you share any more?

My wife and I garden when the weather's warm. When it's cold outside we put on music (mainly classic rock or big band stuff from the 40s) and just snuggle, or we watch classic movies. I'm also a writer, so I'm usually working on something for my agent!

i'd like to ask the OP.... what do NON christians do for fun in their free time?

 

i would think the answers are quite similar to that of christians, minus the recreational sex and getting obliterated at parties.

There are a lot of nonchristians who don't do that stuff either. I'm pretty sure my mom isn't up to that . I'm not picking on you at all, but I suppose I'd just caution against stereotyping...

It's not everyday that I get free time for myself (how I wish!). Frankly speaking, since I became a mum, I haven't come across one occasion when I had an entire day to myself! Still, here's what I love to do when I have some me-time on my hands: I read science fiction, listen to Shakira (Waka Waka is my all-time go-to song for whenever I'm feeling down; somehow it always peps me up), take my dog for a walk, drink coffee, drink more coffee and then drink still more coffee, watch re-runs of old TV series.. Yes, that's about it. Don't get too much time to do anything else ;-)

 

There are times when the entire family sits together, for instance in the evenings when we all gather together in the living room. Since I am beginning to take up blogging (related to kids) very seriously, this is the time when I sit down and chalk out my editorial calendar or pen down a few lines. For me, this is the best way to get my creative juices flowing, done with the houesehold chores and meals for the day. If my husband is also busy with his work on his laptop, then we make sure the kids do something worthwhile like play educational games like these; if they had their way, they would be very happy to sit for two hours in front of the television, wide-eyed, watching anything that is on the idiot box. But we make sure this doesn't happen and they indulge in something beneficial for them. Or else if me and/or my husband have no urgent work to be done then we sit together and play a board game like pictionary or scrabble. My husband and I secretly call this our 'family bonding time'. And we know this is what memories are made of. This way when our children have flown the nest, we'll still have good times to look back upon

I personally enjoy spending time at the range shooting SASS. I also have my own podcast for new shooters call New Shooter Canada http://www.newshootercanada.ca

no worries, i wasn't stereotyping so much as being sarcastic in my response to the way OP had worded his question. i know very well that there are non-christians who don't do those things.

Hi momthebomb,

 

That is great to hear, as a family playing `games.` We love to also, just hubby & me. We like Rummikub. Good practice for the brain & as you said fun times to bond.

 

Blessings, Marilyn.
