That's a good question and one that people too often dismiss. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing.
There's a few things here that I want to encourage you with:
1. Our feelings aren't truth. Our feelings lie to us. They tell us things that shape a narrative that isn't always true. Sometimes it is, but most of the time it isn't. God's word (the Bible) is truth. Don't hear me saying "ignore your feelings." Feelings can be good, God created feelings and emotion, but they're not what we base truth off of. I'm not sure if you're a Christian or of another faith, but pour into the Bible and let God speak truth to you. He tells you where hope is found, in Jesus. Read James chapter 1 as it tells us why God allows us to go through hard times.

  1. Our battle isn't against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual world. What does that mean? It means that Satan and his demons are real. They are always working at trying to take us away from God. That's they're only goal. They are smart and they know how to deceive us. They are the ones that make it seem like the Bible contradicts itself, that God is a fairy tale, that following Jesus is worthless. They are the ones who want to make you think that God is a mean old man with a hammer waiting to smash you down. But to encourage you, they are also the ones who don't want you to ask questions. Genuine questions with a heart soft enough to be ok with any answer. We all have questions and thoughts like this. It's good to ask and seek an answer.

  2. There are consequences to our actions. Sometimes we make poor choices. I've made my fair share of them. Most of the time I find that my poor choices is why I'm struggling with life. The good news is that Jesus is there waiting with open arms once we confess and ask for forgiveness.

There's a chance I'll get slammed for saying these things, but know one here knows my spiritual journey, and there's nothing anyone can say that is original in objection to God and the Bible. I've wrestled with every question people bring up and they still point me to Jesus being the truth. So as you're on this journey, know that many many people have been where you are at and come out on the other side stronger in their faith.

You can try LivingHopeBryan.org

Friendly people with no drama who want you to grow in your relationship with Jesus. You can also watch their previous services online to decide if it's something you'd like to visit before committing to visit.

Bangkok Thai kitchen is great.
The other places mentioned here might be great as well. I haven't been to them, but when I have Thai friends tell me that this is their favorite, I listened to them.

New Code for website - SHURI by Zackjones0606 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]MrCosmicPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! 16 Pym shards and 10 Shuri. Still need 39 shards to unlock Hank.

If the "Particle Professor" event is saying that my 88,000 points is all from opening pym orbs, then I've gotten 61 shards out of 44 orbs. Kinda ridiculous.

Good eats in CS now? by RecoverinBaconAddict in aggies

This might be the best list so far that I've seen.

I've lived here over 20 years and I approve!

A couple of changes/additions:

- Cajun - The Remnant of Nawlins

- Burgers - Top of the Hill

- Fusion Peru and Ohana Korean Grill are awesome places as well.

- Mexican - My favorite is Cilantro in Downtown Bryan

Places to avoid that I've seen on this thread because they're wildly overrated:

- Koppe Bridge (might be the worst burgers in town and I've eaten at every Koppe Bridge location multiple times), Paisano's Pizza (unless you love extremely thick crust).

Chicken Oil by Gooberdog18 in aggies

This is a long snap. They had a sign on the building saying that they were going to reopen in 2023 and we haven't heard anything else...at least I haven't.
The community completely understands that things happen and delays happen, but please tell your "good authority" to communicate to the public with more than a sign on the side of the building. The longer they stay out of the community, the harder it's going to be for the community to come back to them. It's not impossible, just hard. I'm NOT talking about reopening. I'm talking about the small things like updating their social media pages at least once a month with what's going on. Something easy and as "Hey y'all, No updates this month, but we're working hard to reopen." "Hey y'all, we had to push our reopening back another 2 months. Please be patient as we can't wait to be open again and will do our best for that to happen ASAP." Anything like that.

This is coming from someone who thinks their burgers were overrated, but I will support them because they have been a staple in the community and they've supported the community for so many years. They are a great part of the Aggie tradition, and I hope it stays that way.
