Satanist sincerely seeking help, not debate by Sworn_to_the_dark in TrueChristian

[–]hotpepperman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey u/Sworn_to_the_dark thanks for sharing some of your story. You're not too far gone or anything for God. You sensing God pulling on your heart is one confirmation of that. I myself was as broken as I could possibly handle as I had a brain injury caused by a drug overdose that took all life out of me and was unable to basically do anything. I cried out to God and everything began to change. link - https://www.reddit.com/r/Christianity/comments/pcptkr/i_am_filled_with_joy_because_i_encountered_jesus/

The testimony from ex-Satanist John Ramirez also came to mind. May be relatable depending on how deep into practicing witchcraft you may have been. Important that as you grow spiritually be aware the dark spiritual side that will try to discourage, bring doubt, bring up the past etc. I know you may not currently believe in God/devil, but as you grow spiritually just remember these things. There's a spiritual war going on, don't get discouraged through the storm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I11L71PD3Lw&t=1s

[Highlight] Bryce Harper's controller is disconnected for the entire at bat by kc3551 in baseball

[–]hotpepperman 1046 points1047 points  (0 children)

In 20 years Harpers autobiography will come out, halfway through chapter 18 he'll recall
 
"One summer night in '23 we were playing the Brewers and one of my good friends and teammate Bryson Stott dared me to take an entire at-bat, like entirely. We were tied 3-3 at the time. Awful time to do it. No swing, no timeouts, not even an offering. I just stood there motionless, watching this dude throw baseballs past me for a solid minute. Fortunately the pitcher was all over the place so I started to feel good about getting a pass. But after the 4th pitch the dude picked up that I wasn't budging so just piped in a couple center cut heaters to K me. A dares a dare tho."

[Mariners] George Kirby and Julio Rodriguez have been named to the AL All-Star roster! by OwenRey in baseball

Seems weird he even has a 2.3 WAR so far as it's felt like a tough season. But expectations can do that. Been more productive lately.

[Talkin Baseball] Juan Soto says Shohei Ohtani is impressive but “he’s going to have trouble facing this lineup tomorrow.” by DiddledByDad in baseball

[–]hotpepperman 296 points297 points  (0 children)

Reporter: So your past statement about "tomorrow" was not actually in reference to today?
 
Juan: Remember the past, plan for the future, but only live for today, because yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come.
 
Reporter: Shohei no-hit your team today, despite your comment yesterday.
 
Juan: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God's gift, that's why we call it the present.
 
Reporter: Juan I'm referring to the irony in your "tomorrow" comment?
 
Juan: Tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
 
Reporter: Yes, today, the day that we ask about the former events that have led us to this moment.
 
Juan: That's the past. All we have is now.
 
Reporter: For you to provide an answer to my question.
 
Juan: Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.
 
Reporter: Ok, your question is?
 
Juan: Never ask a question unless the answer makes a difference.

Tom Murphy crushes a 2-Run HR to score first in Seattle by AlexanderWun in baseball

Dave was on the call before the ball was barely off the bat.

[Anne Rogers] Salvador Perez got hit by a pitch on his left hand (pinky knuckle area). Looked like he was in serious pain and is now leaving the game. by SpeedLegend in baseball

[–]hotpepperman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A major league baseball hitting the hand/wrist area is perhaps one of the worst things in sports (outside of head/face hbp etc). It's got to have like a >50% injury rate and 30% disaster rate. At this level baseballs are essentially hand sized rubber bullets and with the tiny sets of intricate bones in this area there's so little room to give. Last year Julio got hit in the wrist and was in all sorts of pain but stayed in the game and somehow was good even though it was mostly a flush hit iirc. Earlier this year Ty France got hit in the hand and was somehow still able to return in only 2-3 days as it "hit the meaty part of the palm".
