Friday, December 6, 2024 Bishop Robert Barron Cycle C Advent 1st wk of Advent Bible References Matthew 9:27-31 Friends, today in our Gospel, two blind men beg Jesus to heal them. Blindness in the Bible is very often a symbol of spiritual blindness: the incapacity to see what truly matters. Focused on the worldly goods of wealth, pleasure, power, and honor, most people don’t see how blind they are to the truly important things: giving oneself to the grace of God and living a life of love. If you have not surrendered to the grace of God, you are blind. How wonderful it is, then, that these men in the Gospel can cry out to Jesus in their need. They are, of course, making a petition for physical healing, but it’s much more than that for us. It’s asking for that one thing that finally matters: spiritual vision—to know what my life is about, to know the big picture, to know where I’m going. You can have all the wealth, pleasure, honor, and power you want. You can have all the worldly goods you could desire. But if you don’t see spiritually, it will do you no good; it will probably destroy you. Gospel Reflections Meditate on Daily Gospel Reflections from Bishop Robert Barron

Well that is evil, it's ok to wear sinful crap, but don't express your love for Jesus..

Ep 3515b - [DS] Pushing WWIII While Their World Is Collapsing,Patriot Gloves Are Coming Off,Soon!!! https://www.bitchute.com/video/23OJ0SM4eo6x Biden's pardon of Hunter is already backfiring. Biden set another precedent, exposed the DOJ corruption and positioned the patriots to bring people in his orbit to justice. The [DS] is fighting back as their world is collapsing. They are pushing WWIII very hard, they are panicking over the picks Trump is making. Scavino and Trump send a message. The traitors will be brought to justice, the gloves are coming off.

In the blink of an eye, the procedure changed into the following: mine ores make smelt of ore to forge bronze daggers chicken execution, then sell the rest to the greedy clerk at the shop, and use the cash to buy tools. And on and so forth it goes on. As of now I've consumed all the energy drinks available I have available. I've never had to fight this intensely in my entire life to get rid of chickens. I took another bottle of red bull, knowing it could be quite a, hard night. As a kid I didn't experience that tight loop Jagex has created with their world. Everything worked. I did not realize that the shopkeeper took away of your hard-earned chicken breasts, because before were I an ordinary account I would have traded them to another user at a price ten times greater than. Being an ironman, you must master the mechanics of each skill to build. I had my second revelation after I became bored of the chickens and set out to develop my archery ability: "Ranged." I focused on the job to be completed, using the money I received from my shopkeeper, I purchased a bronze hatchet at the Lumbridge Axe store. I then cut down a nearby tree. wood is checked. After that, I returned at the store's general department. I believe that the storekeeper was expecting me. The shopkeeper's robe smelled of chicken from his lunch, and he smiled his evil, corrupted grin. Unwillingly, I spent the rest portion of my coins to purchase an instrument: required to flytch to my bow. Fletching and checking. There was the bow's husk that began to form the next item to my wish list were flax from the nearby fields, and the spinning wheel so that I could construct the bowstring. Within a short time I had my own bow, and I sat on my couch for an while with a smile in my eyes. I was starting to realize the game's concept all about. There is a lot of satisfaction when you earn your living from this game. If I had played an account that was normal, the procedure could have been streamlined to purchasing the bow from the Grand Exchange and carrying on my way. I did not realize until later that the making of a bow required use of a variety of abilities: woodcutting to make an ax, farming to harvest the flax, then fletching to make the bow, and connect the bowstring. Then came the next goal of my archery instruction and ammunition. Then my practice changed into mines for minerals, making smiths for the making of arrowheads and then fletching to make the design of archers. Even my blood feud with the chickens paid off when they produced feathers to make my archers. Within the first couple of hours, my perspective of the game shifted into more expansive. The game's mechanics in the Ironman mode appear to be targeted towards experienced players who have a long time ago finished their end-game content and are looking for new challenges. This is not to say that the game aren't played and loved by everyone both old and new. I must take my bow to Jagex for this The mechanic operates in ways I didn't comprehend until I experienced it. As a senile old man who is enjoying watching the scenery, I could not avoid noticing the accomplishments of the company. The ability to create your own way across Gielinor is a far enjoyable experience when you realize that the only way to achieve it is due to your own determination and perseverance. It's a refreshing change from an old game that's been in existence for a long time. The mechanic has also made me think on other MMO's. Is an ironman-inspired system applied to other games of the genre? The answer is complex. The mechanic is able to work across a variety of games so long as they meet the right elements in their game to support the player base, for instance, the game could require a variety of skills that players to put their time into and crafting systems. I think this method is particularly effective for Runescape due to its tightly knit game world as well as its loopable mechanism.

The concept of ethical behavior refers to well-founded standards of right and wrong that prescribe what humans ought to do, usually in terms of rights, obligations, benefits to society, fairness, or specific virtues, all of which are essential to the lawyer. Ethics refers to those standards that impose the reasonable obligations to refrain from murder, rape, theft, assault, slander, and fraud. Ethical standards also include those that imply virtues of honesty, compassion, and loyalty. There are rights presumed to exist such as those described in the Declaration of Independence submitted to King George of England in 1776 that held: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The unalienable rights also include the right to life, the right to freedom from injury, and the right to liberty. Such standards are adequate standards of ethics because they are supported by consistent and well-founded reasons.
