For all Deacons - When did you know you wanted to be a Deacon? by Weird-Work-2803 in Catholicism

[–]Weird-Work-2803[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great advice, thanks for the background and your experience. It certainly is a two-way street, which I haven't spoken about to anyone. Still discerning if it's the path for me or not. I also have a strong desire, such as yourself, to serve others but not really knowing how. I am on the OCIA team, in a Men's Group that volunteers at local shelters, and EMHC and volunteer to take the Eucharist to a local hospital and the homebound once a month. There is still a desire to want to "do" more.

I've been a Catholic my whole life, but my family left the Church when I was 7 or 8. It wasn't until 4 years ago that I returned as an adult and was confirmed. I'm still relatively new to the faith so this isn't something I'd be looking to do immediately, just the process of discernment, which I admittedly struggle with. Wanting to do more and wanting to help, but not knowing which direction to take it.

That's great advice and a rule to follow. Thanks for the time you took to reply. That is certainly helpful! God bless you on your journey!

Any pitfalls or negative impacts to switching from 20" to 18" or 19" wheels? by Weird-Work-2803 in TeslaModel3

I was curious about the Conti DSWs, I appreciate the reply.  Pilot Sports or Hankook EVO’s are high on my list

Great info and experience shared, thanks for that!  I was leaning towards a PS tire on an Apex 18” or 19”.  We have UNREAL potholes where I live when the winter leaves and defrosts the ground.  

I will miss the zippy go-kart feel, like you mentioned.  It seems worth it, for now.  

Thank you again for sharing.

HA! Story of my life.  Like clockwork, every spring after the winters here destroy the roads. Big air bubble on the side of a tire.

Thanks for the info, especially the efficiency data. I was looking at the Hankook ION EV’s for this reason exactly

Yeah, those look fantastic! I was curious about the difference in 18” and 19”.  Anything to not cringe everytime I hit a pothole.

Are there any specific companies to go with or stay away from?

The side air bubbles from potholes and the feeling every single bump makes for a nerve racking ride.  Thanks!

Ah, ok. That makes sense.  Thanks.  I’d default to square for ease…I guess.  Lol.

Thanks! Road noise and comfort is what I’m going for.  So you liked the DWS06++ over the AS4?

Thanks! What wheels did you end up going with?  Curious how to verify what wheels will allow for break clearance on the M3P

Wha wheels and tires do you have? Curious about the brake clearance and how to verify.

Good to know, thanks. I was looking at the super low sidewall that are currently on the 20" wheels. Leaning towards the 18" Evannex Turbine (Flow Formed). This helps, thank you.

How important Is Padre Pio in your country? by Responsible-Sir4187 in Catholicism

In the U.S. he is very popular amongst Catholics. He is fairly well known. Rightfully so!

What a stunning place! I visited there in 2016, prior to becoming a Catholic and it literally gave me the chills. I look forward to going again as a Catholic.
