Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[ShelbourneVol]

I went to Trunk Bay and my first time ever snorkeling was there...I absolutely love that place. We got to St Thomas during the night and made port right at first light, but they didn't drop the plank until about 6:30..we got up at 5:30 and got all of our beach stuff for the day ready and ate breakfast while we porting, so we were the first ones to get off the ship..us and one other family that was doing the same thing as us took a shuttle over to Red Hook and hit the first ferry over.

Long story short...we got to Trunk Bay about 8:30 and we had that whole 2 mile stretch of heaven almost all to ourself for about 2 and a half hours...I counted 12 other people on the beach and none of them besides me were doing the snorkel trail around Trunk Cay....it was so awesome.

That sounds so cool, especially having the snorkel trail to yourself and what a treat to snorkel for the first time there. How were the coral and fish? Any Barracuda? Early morning is when the fish and other stuff like to eat, but Barracuda are mostly just curious with snorkelers.

Happy Sunday

August 11, 2024: I speak to those who have a tendency to judge and criticize people around you. Be aware that if you are critical you will be criticized. It is a product of the spiritual law of sowing and reaping. If you do not want to be judged, you must be willing to overlook what you consider to be flaws in others and know that I love them as I love you, says the Lord. Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that you be not judged.

If one truly repents and believes the Gospel this is true. A false peace from believing this is true apart from resting in the saving work of Christ is a horrifying dangerous pit.

Should do two games at once. This looks stoopid.

It's ball handling, initiating offense, driving ability and shooting range. She's the most skilled woman in the world. Her biggest issue is forcing it on her bad team and she had trouble adjusting to the physicality because she's kinda skinny.

Fair points, except saying definitively she's the most skilled woman in the world. She is elite for sure, and probably with time I can see being able to say she's definitely the most skilled in the world. I just don't think she was a must have for team USA. They've won 61 straight, so clearly they care about winning and wouldn't just leave her off if she were clearly the best ever.

 

[Glitch]

This is not looking good.

 

[jave36]

That word 'judge' is much better translated as 'condemn', because that's not our job. If anyone needs any proof of that, just note that Jesus immediately told us to make judgments about people.



So, we're told that when we can see clearly, we should make judgments about the speck in others' eyes. Then we're told to make judgments about who are dogs and pigs.

The "judging" (krínō) that we are told not to do has the underlying meaning of arresting, suing, or taking to court. We are not to hope for or take delight in the thought of others receiving the just penalty of their "faults/sins". But we are not to "ignore" their sin, and we are definitely not to refuse to make distinctions between right/wrong.

Four chapters later, Jesus called John the Baptist, basically, the greatest guy ever. This was the same John the Baptist that walked around street preaching, telling people they were a bunch of horrible sinners that deserved Hell, and warning them to repent (turn from their sins) and be baptized.

Failures of the English language and failure to adopt modern language in the Bible have led to a lot of modern misunderstandings in the Bible. Good post.

Football forum never ceases to amaze me. Says that Gaston Moore will eventually take the starting job from Nico.

Give them this from me...

 

[Weezer]

Don't want to start an off-topic debate. You cannot remove one verse from the context of the larger passage and setting.

I feel like y'all are judging.

But I don't judge.

The US wins the Olympics! It wasn’t easy, but it happened!

Hey China...

 

[Glitch]

USA won but should've blown France off the floor.

We didn't win gooder enough. Spoken like a true Vol fan.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Don't forget the synchronized swimming.

Caddyshack Caddies would win that event. Baby Ruth’s to the winners

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

My connects in the program are losing their minds about this team


Saying it’s the deepest team CJH has had and it isn’t close

Nico, Ethan Davis. Very Good OL and WR. Damn Good DL
Sampson is explosive. Questions on the back 7 but talent is there

I've never told anyone but my wife about this but I went through the drive-thru at the Arby's on Rosa Parks Blvd. in Nashville a few years back. I was on a break from training for work and was alone. I pulled into a parking lot at the old Fountain Square and took one bite of a beef and cheddar and immediately blacked out. There was something crunchy and chunky that tasted like incense or something I have never experienced. When I came around my truck was running, I have no memory of starting it. I sat there staring at the stuff mixed with the cheese trying to figure out what just happened. I eventually felt normal enough to return to work. I took pictures of the substance and kept the sandwich for a while but decided to just let it go. I have no idea what is was but I am thankful that I recovered.. I hope your friend does not experience any long term effects and makes a full recovery.

@TrippieRedd wants to know if you have any left?

I once went through an Arby's drive-thru here in Knoxville, the one on Lovell Rd, and they were out of roast beef. I was pissed.

Seriously, I'd have called the cops and revisited that Arby's if they're putting substances in the food. Someone could have been seriously harmed.

The strength of their team was diving, ping pong, and weightlifting. Also shooting.

And the Suppression of Opposing View Points competition.

That guy's an idiot.

Hobby-horse racing will be in the Olympics soon. . .

@nicksjuzunk would dominate the hobby-hog racing.

 

[Weezer]

The Caitlin Clark “turnovers!” excuse is just lousy, and lazy.

She plays on a god awful team.
She faces double and triple teams.
She has no one to pass to / help her.

Are we to believe opposing teams would be running 3 defenders at her while she’s surrounded by all-stars?

Give me a break.

It was political. Pure and simple.

Who tf really cares? It's not like the players who were on the teams were schlubs. They were all good players, and a good player got left off. I'm sure she'll make it in the future, but I really don't give a crap. Just win.

The only player they could have added that would have caused me great excitement is Candace Parker. Yes, I know she's retired.

I drove thru Wendys once and ordered just a hamburger..left and bag felt light. They forgot the patty. Just bun and condiments. I went back and got a refund, but missed a great opportunity to say Where is the Beef!

That's nuts.

It doesn't always work...but it does work a lot..lol..

What do you think someone means when they say "we're gonna smoke a hog leg'"?

 

[JacketVol]

Thanks for this..I've been struggling...I've actually been pretty good at staying the course and keeping my eyes on him and my trust in him through some truly really hard times over most of the last 26 years, but I've just struggled for the last few years...I think because I lost my mother just as the world around me went to insane hell...she always always always had the perfect thing to say to keep my mind right.

"Everything is gonna be alright, there is a brighter day"...the last thing she said to me.


My struggle is not being afraid of all "this"..it is to push down my worst impulse, which is to fight...the wrong way and with the wrong spirit. I have the same struggle Peter and the Sons of Thunder had...to constrain that wrong fleshy impulse.

With God's grace I will be alright though..everything is gonna be alright..there is a brighter day.

If we had DMs I would have sent this just to you, but we don't and so this is the only way I know to tell you how much that touched me...thanks.

You and I are very similar. I always want to fight in fight to flight situations and can't stand injustice and people doing the wrong thing and hurting people. Just do the right thing but I need to change. Today the sermon was to trust in him even in the valley and obey because that is when he does great things.
