  1. When the game begins, please post any updates here.
  2. Hey! You mean we don't have to do that now? Dang it...I was just getting used to typing one-handed!
  3. How could it possible be seen as "cherry-picking?" The office of the priesthood has duties and responsibilities which, in our faith, are proper to a man. The office of nun or religious sister is proper to a woman. It's as simple as that. Everyone has a role to play and everyone is blessed by God with the attributes necessary and proper for fulfilling that particular role. There's nothing arbitrary about it. On the contrary, it's completely and purposely ordered and structured such that we live our faith as in a way that we believe is pleasing to God.
  4. In a broader sense, we really are the customer; because, if we leave, we take the advertising dollars with us. Facebook had a good thing going and they're trying way too hard to make themselves look like their competitors. When you provide a service, you have to make it a comfortable experience for those who use it. Facebook doesn't seem to understand that people, especially Americans, value they're freedom and guard it closely. They shouldn't be making choices for us that we can better make for ourselves -- such as what we see on our newsfeed. Instead, they now have HAL 9000 deciding what we will see. If you want to make a bunch of crazy changes, at least make them optional. Customization makes the experience enjoyable for everyone.
  5. Speaking for myself: yes, I was called. The hard part is discerning God's will from your own.
  6. In the last game, nine different players got the ball -- just in the first half.
  7. CWB states it very well. Women have always played a vital role in the Church -- beginning with the Annunciation to Mary, continuing on through the women who were the first to discover the resurection and on to the present day. The Church does not ordain women because, as already stated, sacred scripture and historic tradition lead us away from it. Everyone has a vocation, which is their station in life and the role the play in the life of the Church as the body of Christ. Some are married, some single; some are priests, some are nuns. No one role is any less important to the daily functions of parish life. It's our responsibility to live out whatever our vocation might be to the best of our ability, and in keeping with Christ's teachings. Yes, men can be ordained; however, even among the ordained there is a set hierarchy or "order" established. In fact, this order is where we get the word "ordained." So everyone has a role in the community (if they choose to fulfill it) and each has its own set of honors and privileges, duties and responsibilities.
  8. You have to remember that the counters have probably flipped a few times for some posters. And site overhauls can effect the number as well.
  9. After a hard workout sometimes. But we use a lot of Axe to cover it up.
  10. Hey thanks! I never even thought about that. It's really hard to believe that we've been a part of this community for so long. We've come a long way.......baby.
  11. Welcome to the Founders (old guys) Club.
  12. The Bearcats clobbered Gallatin County tonight, by a score of 44-14! :thumb:
  13. I miss the old NCC rivalry. When we were in the same sub-district it was even better. I wonder if Johnson Central isn't becoming our biggest rival -- at least, on the statewide level.
  14. Our biggest rival is Duke. *Dedicated to the 18%ers.
  15. Believe it or not, most of that was someone else (who had more secret powers), playing games and giving me the "credit."
