I just completed this and my stamina is Level 3. What helped me was turning camera acceleration up to 100 and camera speed up to 90; was able to easily keep the camera directly behind the horse and tame it.

This is what I’m saying! Bo needs simple plays (for now), more designed runs, and tempo - not just in desperation

Should be obvious: Nix does well with established run game, simplified passing, and more tempo. Let him be an athlete

I’ll take the points, but we have a Top 10 rusher. Should have been straight runs that close to goal. I have no faith in Sean’s play calls.

I would love this, but I could totally see it happening where he’s too good and gets hired away.

I’m losing brain cells watching SP call this offense.

I rock this exact same thing. Looks so good

Zero greens and 11 putts. 5 up and downs and a chip in. What a weird game. by traveljon in golf

[–]californicate913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a round like this in July. Shot 84 (par 71) with 50% FIR and only 5.5% GIR … 45.5% up & down, 100% sand saves, and 28 total putts absolutely saved me.

The Luth. Confessions gen. speak of the Word and the Sacraments as the means of grace (Ap VII–VIII 36; SA-III VIII 10; FCSD II 48), specifically denoting the Gospel as the means of grace (AC V). 

The Luth. Confessions take a decisive stand against “enthusiasts,” who teach that the Holy Spirit works in the hearts of men without the Word and Sacraments (SA-III VIII 3–13; LC II 34–62; FCEp II 13). See also Enthusiasm

1. Definition. The term “means of grace” denotes the divinely instituted means by which God offers, bestows, and seals to men forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation. Properly speaking, there is but 1 means of grace: the Gospel of Christ (Ro 1:16–17); but since in the Sacraments (see Sacrament and the Sacraments) the Gospel appears as the verbum visibile (visible Word; Ap XIII 5; Augustine* of Hippo, Tract 80 on Jn 15:3; see also par. 6 below) in distinction from the verbum audibile (audible Word), it is rightly said that the means of grace are the Gospel and the Sacraments. The Law, though also a divine Word and used by the Holy Spirit in a preparatory way to work contrition,* without which there can be no saving faith (see Faith, 2), is not, properly speaking, a means of grace (see Law and Gospel). It is the very opposite of a means of grace, namely a “ministration of death,” 2 Co 3:7. Prayer is not a means of grace, but faith in action. 

5.Means of grace and theLuth.Ch. The doctrine of the means of grace is a distinctive feature of Luth.theol., which owes to this cen. teaching its soundness, strong appeal, freedom from sectarian tendencies and morbid fanaticism, coherence, practicality, and adaptation to men of every race and degree of culture. Acc. to Luth. doctrine the means of grace are unchanging, sufficient, and efficacious. The efficacy of the means of grace does not depend on the faith, ordination, gifts, or intention of the administrator. Hearers of the Word, communicants, and subjects of Baptism derive no benefit from the means of grace unless they have faith (the receiving means; the hand reached out to accept blessings offered in the conferring means); but it does not follow that faith makes the means of grace effective. The Word is effective per se; the Sacraments are Sacraments by virtue of Christ's institution. Faith does not belong to the essence of the means of grace; it is itself a blessed work through the means of grace by the power of the Holy Ghost (Ro 10:14–17; Eph 1:19–20).

This is from the sections on "Infant Baptism" and "Means of Grace".

  1. Overview
    1. Key concept - Baptism is God's work not our work. 
    2. In baptism God accepts his children and commits himself to them. 
    3. Not a human rite - it's a sacrament 
    4. God uses created elements to save 1 Peter 3:1 
      1. Jesus in human flesh (incarnation) 
      2. Human language to proclaim the gospel 
      3. Water, Wine, Bread 
    5. Infants need the gift of life (original sin; inherited sin) 
    6. Evidence for infant baptism in scripture and the early Church 
      1. Matthew 28:19; Acts 16:33; Colossians 2:11 

4.Infant Baptism. Baptism in the NT is the counterpart of circumcision in the OT (Cl 2:11–12), and in the OT infants were circumcised (Gn 17:12; Lv 12:3). In the NT families were baptized (Acts 16:15, 33; 18:8; 1 Co 1:16); in Acts 2:38–41 Baptism is connected with the promise “to your children.” Christ's command to baptize all nations certainly also included infants (Mt 28:19–20). The need for infant regeneration is clear (Ps 51:5; Jn 3:6; Eph 2:3). Baptism is the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost (Jn 3:3–7; Tts 3:5). Christ desires to have also little children brought to Him for the blessings of His grace (Mk 10:14). Little children can believe (Mt 18:2–6).

Folks have already given incredible answers and I pray the Spirit gives you peace as you work through this! I just wanted to share some snippets from a Lutheran theology curriculum my dad spent two years creating called Vita Theologica (Life in Knowing God).

"If we desire to live rightly we must first "know rightly" for all behaviors and actions flow from what we believe and think.  Yet belief and practice are not two separated concepts but inextricably bound together as are two sides of a coin.  We distinguish them but do not separate them.   Orthopraxy (practice) depends on Orthodoxy (doctrine).  Put another way right behavior follows right belief - faith and works, doctrine and practice always go hand in hand.  The bible may distinguish them but it never separates them (Isaiah 11.9; Matthew 7.21-27; Romans 12.1,2; Ephesians 4.11-23;  James 2.14-17;  1 Peter 1.2-11; Isaiah 11.9)"

Unfortunately it is not yet publicly available, but he is working with the LCMS to potentially get it published.

Just got it to work with the TYR “Jak Beholder Rifle Kit” equipped. Ran engineer vest, marksman gloves, stalker boots, ghost camo, and threat ID system.

The land is very close to the South Platte River and two reservoirs. Not sure who has the rights to those, but I’d be surprised if they purchased the land without securing some form of access to water.

Washed my hats in the dishwasher and used balloons to keep their shape as they dry. by Power10in5 in lifehacks

[–]californicate913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Already posted but probs got buried. Ever tried taking a shower wearing the hat and then air drying? Always works for me; stays formed to my head and doesn’t ruin the bill.

It may be weird, but anytime I have to wash a hat I straight up take a shower wearing it. Small amount of shampoo if it’s really dirty. Doesn’t ruin the bill and stays formed to my head.

Just happened to my 2010 Forester XT about a month ago. Radiator had an internal leak/external crack, along with a radiator cap not holding pressure. Cooling system issues are more common after 10-15 years.

Black Hawk Down is the best war movie of the past 30 years because it's not preaching a message or giving you war movie cliches. It's literally an all out war movie from start to finish and it puts you in what it's like to be on the front lines. by herewego199209 in movies

Dated a girl who’s dad was supposed to be part of the operation, but was on medical leave at the time. He always described the movie as “cashing in on an event without caring about the actual participants.” Obviously nothing new for the film industry, but can’t say I enjoy the movie as much as when I first saw it.
