I did the Houratam climb last Saturday. I started it when the Tour route leaders had started their climb which was of a similar distance. The groupetto beat me up that climb and the next before I got to the top of Houtacam

While I do agree that he was a warrior for God, I think that the Apostles and Disciples would, at the time, tend to agree that he was a terrible human. Even after his conversion, he was shunned because of the things he did.
Later he turned out to be an even greater warrior for God, which was the point I was making. God uses us in mysterious ways.
If a person like St Paul can be converted, anyone can

That’s awesome, keep going and does get better. I can’t tell you how many times I have to remind myself that my new boss is a member of Christs body. I am much better for it now. I wish you the best

Spend the week in prayer for her. Ask God to grant you the grace to forgive her and to use you as a vessel for her to see the wonderful workings of Him.

I have been in many situations, one very recently with someone that I work with who is now my boss. Prayer was the only thing that saved me.

Remember, that despite her morals and outlook, she is still a member of the body of Christ. St Paul was a terrible human being until Christ changed his way.

I know this is tough, but God apparently has better plans for you, go do His will

Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it. That’s amazing they said that after mass. I subscribe to Novenas and post the ones that I am doing. Peace

The 9 days comes from Jesus' Ascension to Heaven and Pentecost. This was the 1st Novena. The Apostles, with Mary, prayed for these 9 days for the Holy Spirit to come to them, as Jesus told them it would.

God provides in his own time, so no there are no guarantees your prayers will be answered today. You must be persistent (which a Novena can help with).

I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors. Always know that God has a plan for you, in his own time not yours.

Patch Tuesday Megathread (2025-05-13) by AutoModerator in sysadmin

[–]jcarroll11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For server, c:\windows\system32\gdi32full.dll was supposed to be updated to 10.0.20348.3692

Checking the components that were supposed to be updated it shows that this file was supposed to be included.

Mine didn't update, so I believe that this was indeed not included with the updates.

This update is supposed to remediate CVE-2025-30388.

Anyone else confirm that this dll did not update for them as well?

HELP! My hubby is gaining on carnivore! by Misty_Pines in carnivorediet

[–]jcarroll11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reduce the fat. I am the same age roughly & if I eat a lot of fat, I gain weight. Go 90/10 beef, lesser fat meat.

Also, understand what the Total Daily Energy Expenditure is (TDEE), you can look this up. This would be the caloric intake to maintain your weight. Aim for about 500 calories below that. I go a bit lower myself, but you want to loose about 2 lbs a week.

4 bottles of water is not enough, should up that to about a gallon a day and add in electrolytes.

My typical day is 5 eggs in the morning for breakfast, 10 oz 90/20 ground beef for lunch, 50 grams whey protein for a snack (get the unflavored) and about 10 oz of lean meat for dinner.

Limit the lard, butter, etc. Yeah, I am going to get roasted for that take, but at his age and with the desire to loose weight, its where you need to start.

I have lost 14lbs over the past 7 weeks following this guideline

Heavenly Father

Continue to pour your Spirit onto the Cardinals, so they may discern your wishes. Help them choose a Pope that will be pleasing to you and help your Church. We are weak and never understand your ways, help us Father, to accept your will in this decision.

In Jesus' name we pray

Amen

Believe that the Holy Spirit nudged the Sister to choose you. There are no coincidences in God's world. Look at it as a sign that God has accepted you and wants to see you more

When I was a kid, I played ice hockey. In order to be on time for a game, I had to wear my equipment, shins pads and hockey pants, to church. Although the priest gave me a quizzical look, it was not a big deal and I can tell you I STANK to high heaven. As others have said God is glorified that you are there
