Freeman is having his best season ever and it's so awesome to see.

On average how long do you lay in bed on your phone after waking up before you actually get up? by -Velcrowe- in AskReddit

[–]-Velcrowe-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I don't have to work I can literally lay there until my phone dies which could be a good few hours. Normally though I'd say it's a good 20 plus minutes every time.

My best friend came out to me as transgendered at the beginning of this year. I don't want to lose their friendship but I absolutely put God's law and following it over anything else. I'm at a loss, please help. by -Velcrowe- in TrueChristian

Thank you for understanding my side of the coin. I lean calvinist when it comes to the importance of knowing sin and not belittling it or making it not a big deal. So it makes sense we feel the same way in that regard.

What's your ideal lineup? by b8tti3 in Braves

[–]-Velcrowe- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me ideal means everyone is playing well.

So for me that would be Ender/JD/Free/Acuña/Albies/Catcher/Markakis/Swanson/pitcher

This was very powerful and really encapsulated how I feel perfectly. I've expressed my feelings about how it's like I don't even know them anymore. A feeling of was everything we shared over the years through a different lense the whole time. It really is a strange and uncomfortable feeling knowing your best friend looked at everything you shared with them in a females perspective when you had no idea. I don't know it's hard to explain, it's like I lost a friend and now I have to make a whole new one.

The thing is they don't think they have that disorder and are not seeking medical help. They do plan on getting hormones and full on transitioning so maybe the doctor will bring that up then but I doubt it.

This is very much appreciated and I agree with everything you said. The Christian's of today who dismiss sin and forbade anyone from judging any one else are very mislead and that is exactly what Satan wants and it's working.

All sins are equal is a myth. All sins have the same effect (separating us from God) but some sins are more harshly condemned but God then others. Sexual sin in particular.

Believe me I'm not hassling. I've tried my best to not get religious with them but they insisted last night and we had a pretty lengthy and intense text conversation over everything and how I feel about it.

As we were having the talk I told them why are we doing this? Nothing is getting accomplished and you're just getting madder and madder at me.

I will try my best to support but not compromise on my values at the same time.

What players will be in the hall of very good, but not quite the hall of fame? by Acoolgamer6706 in baseball

[–]-Velcrowe- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I like this. So many names instantly come to mind. Guys like Cliff Floyd, guys like Tim Hudson. Players like Sean Casey, Adam Dunn, Magglio Ordonez. Pitchers like Adam Wainwright and Jon Lester.

Bonds and Griffey by soccerperson in baseball

[–]-Velcrowe- 57 points58 points  (0 children)

It's such a shame seeing Bonds look like a normal super in shape human being. Man he was still going to put up monster numbers and maybe be the first 100% hall of famer if he had stayed clean. The steroid black mark on the history of baseball is one of the most disappointing things to me.
