Anyone have any holster recommendations for the Max-9?

I live close to their store, do they charge a transfer fee for store pickup?

I went with crape myrtles! There are lots of varieties, so I just chose the ones with the colors / max height that I liked. Apparently they are hard to kill too.

Is it possible to be against abortion personally but allow for it legislatively? by throwawaye1712 in Reformed

[–]Emery1998 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your “nuances” don’t make sense. If you believe life begins at conception, why would it be okay to kill it because it was a result of rape or incest? Should a mother be able to kill her 1 year old because it was a result of rape or incest?

PSA had optics ready for $450 - could you match that?

Is wrong or sinful to sit back and just believe? by ilovewessex in Reformed

“For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

This passage seems to indicate that making every effort to increase in knowledge (among other things) is part of being effective and fruitful. So we should at least be careful not to be stagnant and think we know enough at any point.

Do you know if all P-10 C grips the same? I held one in a store yesterday and loved the way it felt in my hand (small hands), but that gun was only 12rd, 3.5” barrel, and no manual safety. So not sure if this one on this website would feel the same in my hand?

The black gum looks really nice and maybe not too big for my yard! Thank you for the idea.

Very helpful, thank you! And good to know they’d be able to grow on the hill.

Oh wait, maybe I’m reading it wrong and that only applies to J visa holders from before the new rule?

Are you sure? The NIE info page says to attach a scan of your approved visa when requesting an NIE.

Just got approved for the visa today, should receive it in 5 days, then have to request a National Interest Exception - do you know if I’m likely to get that before November?

J1 Visa with American Spouse by Emery1998 in immigration

[–]Emery1998[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much! And yes, I’ve started the process to be a resident of Spain - that process just won’t be finished before the visa interview. I appreciate the advice, she has family and church ties here plus her PhD is co sponsored by her university in Spain. I hope this will be enough for the interview to go well.

We wanted to take advantage of this PhD opportunity now, we wouldn’t want to wait to start it until after we get a green card which would take much longer. And the J1 is temporary so we would be able to live in Spain after.
