My bad, on mobile the articles all tend to flow together

I was gonna say, it only lasts for 3 hours and no telling how long the line will be.

An apologist is someone who makes it their work to defend a position, usually one that is under constant barrage from critics. In this case, proving the existence of a Christian God. Now that we know the context, we can examine the poem itself within that context.

From all my lame defeats and oh! much more

From all the victories that I seemed to score;

From cleverness shot forth on Thy behalf

At which, while angels weep, the audience laugh;

From all my proofs of Thy divinity,

Thou, who wouldst give no sign, deliver me.

Taken in context, it begins to make more sense. Lewis is reflecting on his attempts at refuting critics of Christianity. Sometimes he fails, sometimes he succeeds. The last verse is a call to God to help out his cause, to provide solid proof of His existence, yet He does not.

Thoughts are but coins. Let me not trust, instead

Of Thee, their thin-worn image of Thy head.

From all my thoughts, even from my thoughts of Thee,

O thou fair Silence, fall, and set me free.

Lord of the narrow gate and the needle’s eye,

Take from me all my trumpery lest I die.

The second verse is a bit more esoteric. Taken as a whole, it is not so much a confession of defeat, although it makes use of defeatist language, but an admission that at the heart of Christianity is faith. Faith within religion is a complete trust regardless of the existence of material proof. "Let me not trust, instead Of Thee", "O thou fair Silence, fall, and set me free.". The fifth verse is a reference to Bible verses, and the last verse is a call to deliver them from their own mortal cleverness in defending their position.

This is my own interpretation and could likely be completely wrong, so take from it what you will.

If you're into mountain biking, there's one along the trail in Bentonville, Arkansas. It's really cool.

Exactly what I was thinking, this is a great learning resource.

Did he say 4 trillion? Holy cow how times have changed.

I wonder what happened to me then? I had Google music for $7.99 a month, then when they changed to YouTube music they gave me YouTube Red at the time as part of my subscription. Years later I'm still paying $7.99 (+ tax) and it's changed from Red to Premium.

Looks like it's running an amlogic chip. The only experience I have with linux and amlogic is the radxa zero. I've got a few with armbian and one with openelec. They are solid. I wonder if this gets a mainline kernel or not? I like the design.

If you find out let me know cus I don't get it either. The only thing I can think of is there is a recognizable "mascot" akin to a Freddy/Jason/Jigsaw albeit without the personality.

Can't wait for that time of year.

It looks like if you just sort by obesity Dallas climbs to number 12. It's surprising to me to see Fayetteville at 14. It's a college town, and is known for it's outdoor activities like hiking and mountain biking.
