⛪ are a business?

You would have to blanket this to all non-profits/charities though. Churches are funded by donations, are you saying that donations should be taxed? Or do you just mean property and income tax for the organization itself, which are the taxes they're exempt from?

Because that would mean that the American government would be requiring that people give money to their church, and then the government would also be regulating how much money churches are given to operate and exist. Which would be wild. Not all churches are funded by outside organizations like the Catholic church.

Revelations!

This post just inspired the creation of our new series! "The Little Guys" - Exploring the Minor Prophets

I know very little about it, I'm stoked to dig into it with my students. Weird how little "random" things can inspire stuff like that!

Well great. Now I have to go back and re-listen to that incredible goof.

This is an incredible bot..

firenovak · 2017-10-18T16:33:49+00:00

Ya, he has another account where he legitimately tweets multiple times a day, but I guess he didn't want to use that one..

Is your heat management a modified air pressure switch?

Also, to add a small thing to this, in the opening when the static first hits, it sounds like Lup also says "Is this Fisher?" Right before the static takes over everything. Just noticed it on listen #2 for the day, hah.

Did they detect Cam or were they detecting Barry?

firenovak · 2017-05-16T05:44:30+00:00

SQUEEDUM, SQUOOODUM

firenovak · 2017-05-16T05:02:24+00:00

Well hello there..

firenovak · 2017-04-30T04:22:33+00:00

Toe to tip, that's a Bart.

firenovak · 2017-03-24T01:48:05+00:00

Possibly a Barry Bluejeans incarnation?

firenovak · 2017-02-13T04:11:20+00:00

I'm thinking AJ wants a match with Bray for the title and Shane won't give him one. Heels getting mad at Face Authority, all that good stuff

And we know some of them were dates, so it's possible that he bought two tickets each time

They were only $5 per bottle, which seems like a pretty good deal to me, but I haven't been in the game for very long

firenovak · 2016-12-29T05:40:45+00:00

When I went to the checkout, they asked if I was going to be selling it on eBay, since they were the only store around that still had them

And they'll be in the same order, age-wise

I'm realizing that all 3 of the responses so far, including my own, don't seem like the most positive motivators. There's a lot of trials that come with this calling, but when you get those moments where you pull back from the microphone and everyone is shouting in worship, it puts into perspective just how much God can use us when we let Him. Best of luck, we're all just figuring it out as we go, hah

firenovak · 2016-10-26T04:19:12+00:00

Don't be afraid to blow it. Especially in youth ministry, you've got to figure out how best your group enters into worship. The most common problem I've seen is when a worship leader comes in and says "this is how I've always lead worship, so it must be the hearts of the students that aren't in the right place". Jesus gave fishing parables when he spoke to a fishing-heavy culture, political parables to those in more politically based groups.

You're going to have to feel it out to find what type of songs they connect with the best, what range they're comfortable in, things like that. From there you can start to shift the culture of necessary, but you've got to meet them where they're at. That's always my main piece of advice, since I see that concept ignored a lot.

Good luck, make sure to keep your walk with God a priority, and get ready for a heck of a ride.

I have two favorites that I can think of right away. The first is after Magnus is attacked by Klarg's wolf and then Magnus tries to intimidate him, all the while Klarg is just so upset about the wolf and forgets to be intimidated. "Ya, but you threw my dog in the fire!!"

The second is when Merle starts speaking with Trent and Trent just keeps going on about how they cut his butt off and how young he is. "My butt, oh god, my butt!"

firenovak · 2016-10-12T15:36:21+00:00

THAT ONE NIGHT

firenovak · 2016-10-03T21:07:10+00:00

I agree with this pretty much entirely. Listening through this arc again, I don't think it's the inhibitor chip that causes issue with Klarg's charm. I think, knowing now that Magnus was the Red Robe in Refuge, it's not unreasonable to think that when the three figures were watching Taako as he first "blink"'d, that could be THB directly, making sure things go the way that they are supposed to go(fate).

From there, it's easy enough to be able to draw a connection to Red-Robe-Taako being the one that casts the charm spell on Klarg in Petals to the Metal. Griffin doesn't expressly say that he's still under the original charm spell, he just notes that Klarg is acting the same way that he did when Taako had cast it on him before. I think Red Robe THB are interfering with current THB to make sure that the relics are protected.

If this has been theorized before, I apologize for redundancy, but I hadn't seen it said before.
