I have no problem responding. He doesn’t pick and choose... if you believe the Bible He said He came to save the world (John 3:16)
The word save actually means to heal, deliver, make whole, keep safe and sound...
He doesn’t pick and choose we do. It takes faith to heal... faith in God. The problem is we don’t have faith... if there is ever an equation where the two components are man and God... we’ll its never God that’s at fault...

I'm a believer , but sometimes Iquestion. My thing is, people who deserve it, are rarely the ones sick, and completely innocent children are born with handicaps or autism. Sometimes it seems like if something good happens , its God is good, and when bad happens, God must have had other plans for said person.
It's just a struggle sometimes

Very possible the majority of our starting OL weren't even available for the spring game, wouldn't put any stock into that.

Great point. Really hoping Kennedy comes back healthy, as does Trey, and Wright shows up ready. That right there would replace 60% of what we saw in the Spring.

 

[scvolfan7]

Wow...Keyton, Means, and Tillman as our WR freshman. Palmer, Murphy, Gibbs all juniors.

Should have a pretty solid young group next season too.

Palmer is a sleeper to make it to the draft. He, Callaway, and JJ could all have big years

 

[Batman1948]

What kind of name is that anyhow? Kumar? What is that, five o's or two u's?

I believe that's a first name and I'm quite sure his parents gave it to him and I'm also sure they're quite proud of him.

Deism, which many of the founding fathers adhered to, makes a whole lot of sense when you look at our existence.

Amen to your avatar. God bless.

Greenwich Village...not surprised. Surrounded by influentials.

My HS has the bass player from Weezer and keyboard player from Moon Taxi...suck it Manhattan.

Oh wait, and 2 NFL punters...for those of you that like American Football and all.

Holly Warlick (yay) and Jack Hanna apparently too via Wikipedia.

Brian Bell, a member of Weezer, is from Knoxville. His Dad is a long time professor at UT, and I took an economic geography class that he taught.

Reminds me of working for a Credit Union (2nd largest in the U.S.) and we didn't even have an app lol. No check scanning by phone, opening up MORE Brick and Mortar locations, etc. Loved that place, but seriously questioned if they understood how much FinTech is moving. Young people avoid banks, and many stores, like the plague and want everything on their phone these days, delivered to them electronically or on their doorstep with free 2 day delivery.

One of the most intetesting landscapes for growth investors is finding startups with ideas on how all the upcoming, empty retail space can be retailored into profitable ventures. One guy I talked to, albeit he was quite high, had the idea of turning malls into residential spaces. Imagine if your new apartment used to be a Sam and Goody's or an Electronics Boutique. Creepy, but not the worst idea I've ever heard.

Dude, I'm far from young and I don't set foot in my bank unless I have to get something out of my safe deposit box. I absolutely took to technology when it came around. I used the ATM religiously when that became available. UPS or FedEx come to my house almost every day . We don't live in the same world that I grew up around. I embraced it and I love it. I have so much more free time to live my life the way I want to. Technology is not just for the young. Old farts can use it too .

Yup, he's the one.

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

I thought the only Economic Professor at UT has a last name of “Cherry”. He was the GOAT!

Hey 11 an hour is great for most students. Some adults wish they made that. Publix is a good company.

Congrats bro. Impress the hell out of em and become "Mr. Manager", but only if they let you make that your official title.

I mean if you don't consider 27 to be an adult sure :/

 

[Catbone]

What do you want to do?

honestly not sure yet but im going to get certificate for java python etc

 

[Devo182]

What's the deal with Catholic HS? First there was Harrison Smith (ND & NFL), then Amari Rodgers, then Cade, and now it feels like pulling teeth with Baron and Cooper.

 

[Devo182]

I mean if you don't consider 27 to be an adult sure :/

I didn't start making even "decent" money till I was 29 and stayed in school until I was 33. Never too late to keep upping your education and resume. Most of us will have to work until we are 65 or 75, so investing in yourself now, even if it takes till your mid 30's or later, is a great long-term investment. That is how I looked at it.

 

[Devo182]

Python is cool. Worked with it, and 'R' a bit in an analytics course. If you can also get some classes in Big Data/Stats/Analytics, that could be doubly useful. Being able to program and model using data is going to be an ever-increasingly useful skill...if you are ever inclined to veer from straight Comp Sci in the future. The 2 are continuously merging.

Siap FSU privatization and sounds a little shady.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/deadsp...ing-its-athletic-department-to-1835378761/amp

schools like the University of Florida and University of Central Florida have been benefitting for years from a state law that allows them to classify their athletics programs as “direct-support organizations”—essentially, a private, non-profit corporation separate from the university. In Florida State’s case, this change feels especially egregious in light of a parade of recent scandalsand controversies at the school,

Was that law passed in the early to mid 2000s?

 

[chargervol]

Was that law passed in the early to mid 2000s?

Believe so and man it really is messed up.

Under this arrangement, not only would Florida State’s athletic leadership not have to be transparent in the event of a scandal or tragedy—similar to the way Maryland was held accountable after the death of Jordan McNair—but there also would be an artificial cap on the judicial consequences for their actions.

 

[Rishvol]

Explains early and late 2000s FSU and mid 2000s UF

SECU? Thinking about joining them. Herd they actually have an app now.

 

[Devo182]

Yes. I just looked it up on Google Play and there was one released in April. That's too funny. Worked there for years and was constantly asked when an app would come out. It was a running joke in the office. I leave and they actually release one. Stunned.

Fwiw they are GREAT. The one thing I liked while working there is we did really good work. Didn't try to nickel and dime and screw people over. Just trying to help people. But fyi if you have really good credit, you may get a better mortgage, auto, etc rate elsewhere (though we usually had lower closing costs for mortgages and home equities). And we will even tell you that sometimes. The flipside to that is that they will really work with you if you ever get behind and it is local, so always someone to talk to in person if need be.

If you have any questions on joining or else, just @me. I only left a year ago and worked up from basic services to lending, mortgages and taxes. I know nearly the entire spectrum.

 

[SmokinBob]

I don't believe it.
Insurance is going to cover South Carolina sonic pulse procedure, no out of pocket.
All I have to cover immediately is the trip and hotel. Not going to be easy given how much it's cost to get this far but still, I'm shocked.
This is gonna happen one way or another.

We’ll help if you’ll let us!

This is more or less where I'm at.

 

[InstrumentalVol]

Could be. I certainly didn’t know the conditions of the leasing I had just heard that apparently a couple high profile grocery chains wanted to buy the space but Walmart put that into the clause and blocked it. My wife was pissed because apparently Whole Foods was one of the ones rumored.

Used to live right off Cahal Ave. I’m in West Nashville now by the Costco. Where did you live in East Nashville?

Oh nice! I lived off Douglas Ave, on Pennock Avenue. Had so many house shows with my band the floors caved in lol. Good times.
