![]() ![]() ![]() How very disappointed and hurt Mary and Martha must have been that Jesus did not come to heal Lazarus and they must have been so bewildered at His seeming heartlessness and indifference. Not at all the response they would have anticipated. Why would He not answer their request?Īnd then what about Lazarus? I cannot imagine his confusion as to why his dear friend would seemingly just ignore him and let him die when Jesus could have so easily healed him even from a distance. We certainly have examples of a precedent of long distance healing by Jesus-the Centurion’s servant recorded in Matthew the Capernaum official’s son recorded in John. And note these were people with whom Jesus had never even had any interaction. So they certainly were not at the friendship status.Īnother aspect I find interesting is how when push came to shove Martha is the one who is standing with Jesus at the graveside. She is the one confirming her faith in Jesus that even now He has the power to resolve this tragic situation. Mary, the one Jesus had applauded for sitting with Him and choosing the best use of her time while Martha sweated the small stuff, is no where to be found at first. It is not until later that she comes into the picture.Īnd speaking of Mary-where was she? Scripture tells us that Martha went out to meet Jesus when He arrived but “Mary stayed at home.”(John 11:20) This is purely conjecture on my part because John does not divulge this information. But perhaps she was having some trust issues just like all of us have sometimes experienced. After all her friend, her Lord whom she had so worshipfully adored had not come through as anticipated. Or perhaps they wanted to be sure He knew they expected him to respond with a sense of urgency. I am thinking they may have been playing the “very close friendship” card-that since they were a part of Jesus’ inner circle they had a right to impose upon Him. I want us to consider several important concepts to be gleaned from these passages. And as you read keep in mind that these people were exactly like you and me. Sometimes we think people we read about in the Bible were super human or God imbued them with special qualities that enabled them to rise above normalcy. But dear readers knowing they had the same human tendencies, emotions, weaknesses, temptations, struggles, lived life, maneuvered around it, and reacted to it exactly the same way we do-knowing that expands the impact these characters can have on us today.Īt the beginning of this scenario we gain an interesting insight into the humanness of these two ladies-Mary and Martha. When they sent word to Jesus they used the phrase, “he whom you love so well is sick.” I have always felt this was totally intentional. They could just as easily have said, “Lazarus is really ill” or “your friend is very sick.” I think they were trying to use a bit of psychology on Jesus and tug at His compassionate heart strings. Perhaps they were hoping to instill a huge dose of guilt by reminding Jesus how much He loved their brother. ![]() ![]() There is so much to be extracted from these passages-so many side stories within the one main invent that I find it impossible to contain everything in one post. So I am dividing this into two segments. Today we will concentrate on the part all three characters play in this scenario and next time we will look at lessons we can learn from the narrative. John 11:3,21, 22, 40-“So the sisters sent to Him saying, Lord, he whom You love so well is sick.” “Martha then said to Jesus, Master, if You had been here my brother would not have died. And even now I know that whatever You ask from God He will grant to you.” “Jesus said to her, ‘Did I not tell you and promise you that if you would believe and rely on Me, you should see the glory of God?’” (Amplified Bible) ![]()

![]() ![]() I decided I was just gonna kill one of them in front of everyone and then leave, then super obviously fake ignorance in the meeting. That's not totally unwinnable, but I wasn't feeling it that night. To top it all off, the other 4 players were (probably unintentionally, but still annoyingly) grouping pretty hard. My imposter buddy did something kinda dumb, I don't remember what, but I was alone in the final 5. I was in a lobby with some of my friends. When I was playing in the same room with as friend I got impostor and they way I went silent, the way the energy shifted in the room, the moment my soul got crushed, my friend could see it in my eyes, he knewĭid a stack kill late after everybody already spread outĬan I give kind of an opposite story? It's about a play I made that was intended to be bad on purpose, and ended up winning me the game. Went to the bathroom and when I came back I was impostor just standing in drop ship Hid in specimen and then went to 7/11 to go get a buffalo chicken roll I can still hear the kid screaming at me "YOU SUCK AT BEING IMPOSTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Zoned out and didn't see the other impostor going for a double kill and the crew voted both of us out immediately. Straight up killed in front of people in a literal among us tournament that was being livestreamed on twitch and when I was caught I was just said um I uhh asdfadafafvankanabs⁉️□□jsjajakakwjwjwyeieiwjannsishdbejww□□iuhebdji□hdjdjsks‼️⁉️hdjsjwjwjwjwwkwirjrjr□hdhqjkqkwjehrndksnsksndnfncnnccjcdjnd□□ (hide and seek) Got so terrified that I straight up left my phone sitting while I went and ate popcorn in the other room - the entire crew saw I was AFK and started dancing and throwing ass around me (I got banned after)ĭunked my phone in the toilet after seeing the impostor screen Ran around a frat party piss drunk with my phone down my pants with the game running with me as impostor A perfect potential victory turned into stunning defeat. Unfortunately for me though, I couldn’t kill the cheater in time (30s kill cooldown), they called a meeting saying I vented (which was absolutely not true) and I got voted out on a 5-1 clean sweep. Red had covered up for me as we were alibis during the round, and somehow that managed to be just enough to cover up myself. However, by a MIRACLE OF GOD, the vote tied 3-3 with me and skipping the vote. They told everyone that their friend over a chat told them it was me, and I had almost no way out. But after my 4th kill I made a genius tactic, I made one of the Crewmates an alibi for me, and I watched them do tasks as the 4th body was yet to be found, as a matter of fact, it took so long that me and my alibi (who was NOT one of the cheaters) found the body I had killed! I confirmed red as safe, and told everyone where the body was, but then someone suddenly said that it was me, even though I had not been suspicious all game, had covered up for someone, hadn’t had a vote, and didn’t even kill on cams! So I asked them about why it was me, considering that I had covered up for someone, was with them to report the body, and had no clues to it being me. So basically it was my first game as Imposter in 15 games, and actually my first on the Polus map (I didn’t usually do that map often) and my first kill was pretty clean, a simple kill and everyone skipped voting, and for the second people started pointing fingers at one another, but I wasn’t one of them! The votes ended in a tie (barely) and I would go on to get my 3rd kill cleanly as everyone skipped the vote there.

The same goes for snowflakes seen at high altitudes and in snowy biomes. While this may be an exaggeration, the raindrops and lightning look remarkably realistic by Minecraft standards. The next time you encounter a thunderstorm in your world, you may mistake it for real life. You should be aware of the new and exciting weather animations. In addition to all the features of the free version, patrons get access to the largest and best version of the project, which includes animated northern lights (Aurores) and skies that change based on weather conditions. The full version of Dramatic Skysįor those who want to take their skies to the next level, the full version of Dramatic Skys is available on Patreon. In conclusion, you do not need an expensive graphics card to improve your Minecraft graphics. Probably, this is one of the main reasons why Dramatic Skys is so popular in the Minecraft community and has already been downloaded over a million times. Only extremely rarely will you experience low FPS, delays, lags, or bugs. On a technical level, everything is optimized so well that you will have excellent gameplay even with an old laptop. ![]() The developer has also optimized the pack for players with low-end computers. Just make sure that the file is at the top of your pack list. Since there are comparatively few textures included, there will be no bugs or lags. One important piece of information to note is that the Dramatic Skys texture pack is “only” an add-on and therefore works with any of your resource packs. Additionally, each biome in Minecraft gets its own unique sky for day and night, sunrise and sunset, ensuring that no two areas of your world look the same. One of the most impressive features of the free Dramatic Skys resource pack are the height-based sky textures that accurately reflect the different layers of the atmosphere. In the end, the sky looks cool at any time of the day with this pack. Nevertheless, the equally great sky-blue graphics offered during the day should not be underestimated. In our opinion, the night sky benefits the most from the new lighting system, as it now looks as if you are looking at the real starry sky through a telescope. Normally, Minecraft clouds have a square shape and do not look good, but as a Minecraft player, you may already be aware of this issue.ĭramatic Skys not only changes the shape but also the lighting of the Minecraft sky. Some changes have been made to achieve this authentic result, such as the redesign of all clouds and unique HD sky variations for over 80 biomes. The Dramatic Skys texture pack sets completely new standards and makes the sky look much more realistic. ![]() ![]() ![]() I've used several add-ins over my many decades of using Excel. Michael Brown, 21-Sep-23 Well worth every dollar Not an easy task for a 68-year-old man trying to stay relevant with this younger generation. ![]() THANK GOODNESS I DID! I know there are many more things I am to learn but this app has given me the confidence that I will be able to keep up with the rest of the team. I came across the Ablebits app and gave it a test run. However, I started a part-time job this month with a company that uses it exclusively for their reports and general communications, so I have undertaken a crash course in learning this program. I am a noob when it comes to using Excel. Amy Harris, 22-Sep-23 Quick response to my issue ![]() I would recommend this to anyone who works with lists. I work in sales, so being able to compare tables and find duplicates is a lifesaver. I love Ablebits because with the easy download (takes less than 1 minute), I have access to so many tools in Excel. Vette Yates, 23-Sep-23 I love Ablebits because it turns a 5-hour project into 5 minutes I wrote to their customer service and within a few hours I had excellent communication as to how to resolve my issue. It was a Saturday morning (in my country). When I was ready to purchase, I ran into an obstacle. I took advantage of the trial period for the full program, and I put Ablebits through everything I wanted to achieve. Marv Wilson, 24-Sep-23 Excellent customer service! If you've tried other Excel add-ins and felt letdown, give Ablebits a try! You'll love the software and technical support if you need it. If you try their Software, and need help, email them and they'll respond to help. The software is the best Excel add-in that I've tried. They are very responsive and always very professional. Alex Lugan, 26-Sep-23 I've been with Ablebits since 2018 I can genuinely say it's saving me at least 3 to 4 hours a week.Īll in all, if you work in Excel daily like me and there's no hope of your business moving away from it, Ablebits will make your life infinitely easier and it's definitely worth the money. Used Ablebits throughout its trial whenever i was hitting pain points in Excel, and it invariably made life easier and streamlined my work. It boggles my mind that it took a third party to add these tools to Excel. Robin Ellwood, 19-Oct-23 These should all come standard with Excel There are so many times that you will find yourself needing this, even if you are just using Excell casually, you need this program. Ablebits for Excel is always updating and adding new features. If I EVER have a problem, I just contact support with an email, and usually within 24 hours I get a reply from a human whom you can reply back. On top of all of this, there is one thing that sets this program apart from any other I have ever used. I would spend hours doing manually through plain Excel what takes me moments. csv files regularly and being able to transform and clean up the data for importing into other programs makes the work so much easier. It is a bit pricy for a home user, but it is more than worth it when you see how much time and energy you save with all the tools.

I have several charge cables and none of them was charging the battery. System profile shows that the battery is installed, with 1 cycle count, but it not currently charging when plugged in. If I unplug it, the MacBook will run off of what charge it has. I turn on the MacBook and it shows that it is plugged in, but is not charging the battery.

The action is fast-paced and free of lag for the most part, though if you have a slow Internet connection, you might find that your character takes a split-second longer to respond to your inputs than you're used to, which can prove fatal against a skilled opponent. Online play is where Soulcalibur IV really shines, though there aren't many different modes of play available. It takes a long time for that to happen, so the soul gauge isn't always an effective deterrent as far as overly defensive players are concerned, but it at least discourages online players from trying to score cheap victories simply by landing a couple of blows and then blocking until the time runs out.įinally, you can put your skills with your favorite character to the test online. ![]() When the gauge turns red and your health bar starts flashing, you're just an attack or two away from entering a defenseless "soul crush" state, at which point your opponent can perform a one-hit-kill critical-finish move. New to the series-though reminiscent of a feature in 1997's Soul Blade-is the soul-gauge system, which appears alongside the health bar and changes color if you spend too much of your time blocking attacks and not retaliating with your own. Alternately, you can win by knocking your opponent out of the "ring," which is possible in almost all of the game's beautifully realized arenas. Your goal in Soulcalibur IV, of course, is to defeat your opponent by depleting his or her health bar. That's not to say that the combatants in Soulcalibur IV don't have impressively large repertoires of moves, because they do, it's just that very few of them are tough to pull off. Rather than memorizing lengthy combo attacks and knowing how to attack your opponent, the challenge here comes from knowing when to attack, when to block, and when to sidestep around the arena. ![]() Regardless of who you play as, Soulcalibur IV is accessible enough that even first-time players will have no trouble performing some powerful and great-looking moves. There's more than enough variety on the roster to ensure that you can enjoy playing as at least a handful of different characters, and a robust customization system gives you the freedom both to edit their appearances and to create your own fighters from scratch. Others are unlocked by defeating them in the single-player Story and Arcade modes, and by purchasing them with the gold that you're awarded for winning fights. The majority of the characters on Soulcalibur IV's roster will also be familiar if you're a fan of the series, though only around half of the 30-plus combatants are available at the outset, including Yoda on the Xbox 360 and Darth Vader on the PlayStation 3.
