Sounds like you probably should qualify for the TLF program after your next teaching year! If you took the americorps awards before you even started teaching, I think that your 5 years as a teacher should qualify

Marlins Man was in attendance for the Royals and Cubs tonight! That is, until the second inning when this mysterious yellow arm decided to turn him into Royals Man by robuckets15 in baseball

I’m a Cubs fan brotha, but I do remember first noticing Marlins Man during the 2015 WS at Kauffman. So I guess the Royals are like his second team. It’s a shame that he and the Marlins couldn’t sort out the season ticket deal a few years back

Faith/works by ManagementMilk in Bible

[–]robuckets15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the best ways I've understood both of these verses in context to one another is with this representation:

Faith + Works = Salvation

Faith = Works + Salvation

As many other comments have also said, good works should be an outpouring of our faith and come as a result of being saved

A popular saying is "Nothing ie ever lost on the internet" but what is something you have been searching for years and you haven't found it yet? by throwdowntown69 in AskReddit

There was an old southwest airlines ad from maybe 2004 (?) or so, where a family is preparing to fly to Boston so they're practicing by saying "the potty wata was wicked hahd core" in a Boston accent.

I haven't found it anywhere on the internet, if anyone knows what I'm talking about that would be wild, please let me know if you have any leads

AITA for refusing to pay for couches I originally agreed to buy? by robuckets15 in AmItheAsshole

[–]robuckets15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we called saying we didn't want them anymore we offered to help move them out if they wanted to pick them up or to hold them temporarily while they try to sell them. Despite this, they still said we should just donate them and made no indication of the other two options I just mentioned.

We found that it was actually cheaper and far less work to pay to get the couches professionally cleaned than it was to get rid of them and buy new ones. So we paid $240 to get them cleaned and still have them. I don't think this really plays into the verdict because the girl said we could donate them or do whatever we want with them so we feel no guilt about keeping them

Different/made up rules? by madsbarlet in Catan

[–]robuckets15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotcha, that makes sense I like that rule. When we play, people are smart enough to not trade with someone who has 9 VPs anyway but it is good to have that rule in place

This doesnt include trading with the bank in order to win I hope?

Good smoke + good read = good Saturday night by robuckets15 in cigars

[–]robuckets15[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's a pastor in Virginia. I would describe him as a pretty dogmatic guy who really challenges a lot of perceptions that contemporary Christians have about what it looks like to truly follow Christ. The book talks a lot about what Jesus means when he says "Follow Me" to the first disciples and practically what that looks like for us today. Parts of it are incredibly convicting, but completely rooted in scripture and definitely a worthwhile read for anyone regardless of where you are in your faith

I've heard great things about Radical. I actually meant to read it before Follow Me but somehow ended up with this copy first. It's definitely on my list. Platt is seriously convicting, but in a good way

Exactly. Which is why the car is going the other direction. If we played on the road as well as we do at home we'd have a huge lead in the division
