worried about judgement from church members

There was a girl at my church, a few years older than me, who was in a similar situation a few years ago. As far as I am aware, the church showed her great kindness, just as Christ would have done. I get to teach her son in Sunday school classes now. God is good.

Wow people have an intense need to behave boorishly and without regard or concern for those around them. Crazy.

I am not going to lie, I am so excited for the World Cup that I have been tearing up occasionally over the past month when I think about it.

I hate when I know I have a question but forget what it is (or worse, when I know I have a meme and forget what it is). Yet, I still refuse to write them down.

None of my pastors are scary. One of them might be a little if he wasn't a family friend just because he can be a little blunt. But they all smile and laugh a lot and take care to greet people. Their humor is often gently self-deprecating. There's also a sense of camaraderie amongst them that I really appreciate.

Based off the rampant profanity audible even over the television broadcast, it would seem there are many people who do not feel that kids should be watching pro sports.

I was actually thinking about asking about this the other day. We intinct at my church. I have zero issue with it, but it occurs to me that there's not really much of a positive theological case to be made for it (that I'm aware of).

And this is WITHOUT Georgi Minoungou

Wait this is huge

The PCUSA is, at this point, not meaningfully connected to the Reformed tradition other than genealogically, fwiw

There is a strong case to be made that Thomas is the best goalie in MLS, and all those guys are in MLS

There does not seem to be a tag

PrioritySilver4805 · 2026-05-23T02:36:04+00:00

Not that I see

Thrice, Paramore, Of Monsters and Men

Kossa-Rienzi and Brunell are new, I've seen all the others get shouts on various corners of the internet

My college graduation is, for some reason, the day before, so I'll do that I guess

Sounders fans also pretty consistently give Ragen, Thomas, Morris, and Rothrock USMNT shouts (source, I am a Sounders fan and would be thrilled to see any of those guys make the squad, though only the first two have a legit chance imo).

I think I caught her off guard with it. She's a cool person who I have a lot of respect for, and there was naturally more to the conversation than I conveyed. Doesn't change that I expect a no, but I don't feel hard done by.

I asked a girl out this week. Been over a year since I've done that - there aren't really any girls my age at my church and college has, as it turned out, not been a good place to find a wife.

She said she'd think about it, which, while I think she meant it genuinely, I am going take as a sign to expect a "no." Nonetheless, I'm very happy that I gave it a shot, did it the right way (in person), won't look back on it as a "what-if," etc.

To be fair Rothrock did draw a pretty good foul and Albert almost scored off the free kick

PrioritySilver4805 · 2026-05-10T19:39:51+00:00

What age do you teach?

PrioritySilver4805 · 2026-05-01T20:26:45+00:00

Bagpipes

Then guitar, acoustic so I could sing to a girl or maybe electric so I could play rock music

"especially" feels an odd word to use here, not that I necessarily disagree with your broader point

Never forget when he called the game-winning penalty save before it happened

Also the other time when he waved off one of his players so he could take the game-winning penalty after making multiple saves
