    Is the US headed for a Recession?

    We won't really know if we are 2 quarters down until August when the numbers come out from the BEA, but most indicators seem to indicate that we are. Given how the administration and politicians seem to be trying to get out ahead of it and redefine the definition of a recession, I would say that...

    Your most expensive online purchase

    Likewise, I bought a car through Carvana, two actually. I have had a good experience with them.

    New Problem

    They all hold the Truth - the Truth that Jesus died for our sins. Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ will come again. The "Truth" is that every denomination is going to get one thing or another wrong. I believe that God is gracious enough to understand that we are all doing the best we...

    Spam emails

    Thousands. I had a scam done to my email a few years back. They hacked my Amazon account and tried to buy some things, at the same time they used some scam service to sign my email up for thousands of websites so that my email would be flooded and that I would hopefully not see the Amazon...

    The tallest building

    Taipei 101. I have been to the Burj Khalifa, but we were not able to go to the top.

    PGA verses LIV

    And now Abraham Ancer is with LIV. While not the biggest name, he is the best Mexican player, so that is a big win. This whole scenario is interesting. A few more big names and the PGA is going to be at a point where they will be in danger of needing to make some concessions in allowing these...

    Closed-captioning on or off

    I keep them on nearly all the time, unless watching sports. We started when my son was a baby and have just kind of kept doing it. Now it is weird to watch TV without them on for whatever reason. But a personal complaint is when the words written don't match what is said. I get it with live TV...

    PGA verses LIV

    More players are jumping over every day, Brooks Koepka just signed on. PGA is going to have to do something, I would hope they back pedal on the ban of LIV players also playing in PGA events. I think that would be best for the sport overall. Bedminster should be a good event, Trump will be...

    PGA verses LIV

    That is a really valid point, good observation to point out. Regardless, I am looking forward to seeing who joins up as the weeks go on, and for their next event. Do you know why they are taking August off?

    PGA verses LIV

    LIV players didn't make much of a showing in the US Open this past weekend. Regardless, it was a good tournament, I watch most of Saturday and the last couple hours on Sunday.

    PGA verses LIV

    I looks like they broadcast on their website, Youtube and Facebook....so I actually will try and watch the next event and see how I like it. I have only played short executive courses and the driving range. The long game at 18 hole courses is a bit above my desire to a time commitment. I took...

    PGA verses LIV

    I play a little and watch some, usually the US Open and Masters. I am interested in the LIV concept, I may tune in if it were on TV or streaming service, but I won't just casually follow it via websites and such.

    Catholic Eucharistic Miracles

    The difference though, as I understand it (and definitely correct me if I am wrong) is that Adoration is actually worship, as opposed to inspiration or veneration. If it is not actually/still the body of Jesus then it is fully idolatry of the item as it is true worship. This is in contrast to a...

    Catholic Eucharistic Miracles

    I'm not sure I can be of much help in this case as my current beliefs are outside of the Lutheran and RCC beliefs and align with a Calvinist view of the Lord's Supper/Eucharist. I'll keep those views out of the conversation as I think it will muddy it too much and take the thread into a...

    Catholic Eucharistic Miracles

    Sure, talking with people that are versed in both faith traditions is helpful, but they also are trying to "prove" their side, of course. For me, the main issue is how the faith is lived, and the theology behind that life. My issues with the faith lived in the RCC has different facets, but one...

    Catholic Eucharistic Miracles

    I think the missing element is belief from you. If you can believe that Christ is in the Eucharist after consecration, including to a later point where Adoration takes place, then you need to work on the belief that Christ is also present without the Eucharist. That is both a Protestant and...

    Catholic Eucharistic Miracles

    Yes, many times. Personally I feel it is the space that makes the difference for me, not so much the presence of the eucharist. While that did have an impact, the sacred space, the silence, those are the things that are most moving and calming for me. Eventually I endeavor to make a space like...

    Catholic Eucharistic Miracles

    From a Catholic perspective I admire it and liked to participate when I was Catholic. From a Protestant perspective it is not something that should be done. I think that once one understands fully the idea that God hears us when we pray, as if we are right with him, it does not matter if we are...

    Catholic Eucharistic Miracles

    No, that is not the kind I am really referring to. I agree, those kinds of "miracles" are waaaayyy too common among many believers. God "miraculously" gives them a good parking spot, etc. I am more talking about miraculous instant healings or deliverance from afflictions, etc. TBH I am...

    Catholic Eucharistic Miracles

    I think that often God works where he is called, where the faithful will be enabled. Are some of the "miracles" fake, sure. Are some simply urban legends that have been durable? Yes. However, while the RCC tends to exhibit eucharistic miracles the Pentecostal churches tend to see them when...
