You pray in the face of conflict, and you pray for forgiveness. The point is to experience it.You pray for your own needs and for the needs of others. Or maybe you think you can guess what you’ll experience, so you don’t have to do it. Perhaps you’ll read the exercise and think it’s too elementary or too difficult for you.

One question in each of the six studies calls for actual praying to be done in the session. These studies examine examples, methods and results of connecting with God through prayer and practicing God’s presence. – Howard Hendricks, Distinguished ProfessorĬhairman, Center for Christian Leadership I recommend these studies because they are well devised and most provocative guides for first-hand Bible study. “For fifty-three years I have taught a required course at Dallas Theological Seminary on the principles of inductive Bible study. – Dallas Willard, author of Hearing God and The Divine Conspiracy “Jan Johnson opens a path on which anyone can actually and continuously grow in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus Christ.” This series is designed to help us live in God’s presence by incorporating these spiritual practices into our lives. We discover the disciplines in the Bible as we look at the everyday ways Jesus related to God. Going deeper in these areas will help you to draw closer to God. This 6-session LifeGuide Bible Study covers the disciplines of prayer and of practicing Gods presence. Spiritual disciplines are a time-tested means of connecting us to the God who wants to transform our souls. Listen to the Lord, engage in real conversation with God and experience Gods presence in daily life through prayer. Going deeper in these areas helps us to draw closer to God in everything we do. This guide covers the disciplines of prayer and of practicing God’s presence. How do we move to having real conversation with God? How do we hear what God is saying back to us? How can we make our experience of God being with us part of everyday life? Most of us have experienced the “laundry list” phase of spiritual life in which praying means giving God an agenda of needs to handle. ![]()

![]() ![]() Beyond that, Melton performs it in a breathy monotone that feels a bit eerie and is only made more so by how Russo-Young shoots him. Now, while the lyrics about falling for a girl you barely know makes thematic sense, I was scratching my head wondering why this would be the song a teenager in 2019 would choose. The song is “Crimson and Clover,” the moody 1968 from Tommy James & The Shondells. ![]() But the song chosen, his rendition, and the way it’s shot all left me cringing. And the one scene where he’s let loose to attempt alluring is so bizarre it comes off as creepy instead.ĭaniel takes Natasha to a karaoke parlor, a smooth move for seduction as it’s a private place you can rent by the hour! And he will woo her into a hot-and-heavy make-out session by performing a love song. Here, he’s sanitized as a sheepish good guy. ![]() As for Melton, he brought heat to Riverdale as smirking bad boy Reggie Mantle. Playing a character who sneers at romance and natters on about the scientific method, she’s lost her spark and comes off as bored and boring. In Grown-ish and Black-ish, Shahidi brought a liveliness even to eye-rolls. Sadly, the charms they’ve shown on TV don’t translate here. At best, they seem bemused by each other. But the pair shares no chemistry onscreen. Yes, Shahidi and Melton are beautiful, and it should be easy to believe they’d fall for each other. The bigger problem however, is that I never bought into Natasha and Daniel’s romance. But as it is, these sections feel tangential and cringingly old fashioned in a story of two modern teens. If done in a zippy way that mirrors the kind of explainer vids that often go viral online, this device might have given energy-if not urgency-to the film. And for each, we’re not shown these characters talking to someone, but instead, a sizzle reel-like edit or planets, or a black couple laughing, or archival footage of wig-making factories while a calm voiceover plays. There’s one about how Natasha’s parents met, one about how Daniel’s parents came to own a wig shop in Harlem, one about the universe itself. Perhaps it’s that the film is cluttered with montage sequences that feel like PowerPoint presentations. Perhaps that’s because of Russo-Young’s heavy reliance on B-roll, which shows people on the streets, skyscrapers, and other NYC cliches to give a quick sense of an area instead of showing her leads interacting with the area. Though plenty of the dialogue involves appointments-and should thereby set up a ticking clock tension-there’s no sense of time as the characters stroll from one scenic neighborhood to another. It’s exactly the kind of high-stakes juvenile drama I look for in YA! But despite the stakes and the characters’ “now or never” attitudes, there’s no sense of urgency to the film. It’s an intriguing premise: one day to find love and your path. Between appointments, these two tumble through Chinatown, to a black hair care shop in Harlem, to a karaoke room, and a riverside city park, along the way finding a connection they can’t deny. So Daniel pleads for one day to change her mind. There’s just one (more) problem, Natasha doesn’t believe in love. And when he spots Natasha in Grand Central Station wearing a bomber jacket with “deus ex machina” embroidered on it, he believes he’s found his muse or his soul mate or maybe both. But secretly, Daniel dreams of being a writer. Also 17, he’s on his way to a college interview that could put him on the path to being a doctor, which would make his Korean immigrant parents very proud. But these plans are derailed when a hit-and-run meet-cute introduces her to Daniel Bae (Charles Melton). To stay in the New York she loves, Natasha plans to spend her last day meeting with caseworkers, lawyers, and whoever else she must to get a reversal on the deportation order. Tomorrow, her family will return to Jamaica, which is technically her homeland but not her home. But unfortunately, The Sun Is Also A Star fell far short of my expectations, offering a romance that never manages to shine.ĭirected by Before I Fall helmer Ry Russo-Young, The Sun Is Also A Star begins with 17-year-old Natasha Kingsley (Shahidi), an aspiring scientist who fears her life and career ambitions will be derailed because of her parents’ impending deportation. ![]() Bonus: it stars Grown-ish’s Yara Shahidi and Riverdale’s Charles Melton, two performers who’ve shown a compelling charisma on their respective series. Plus, this one was based on a YA novel by Nicola Yoon, the author behind Everything Everything, an adaptation that had me swooning. I’m a sucker for an even half-decent romance, and as a long-time New Yorker can’t get enough of seeing love stories spilled across our boroughs. A hopeless romantic meets a hard-nosed realist, and together they fall in love while making New York City their playground. On paper, The Sun Is Also A Star looked like the kind of movie I’d totally fall for. ![]() ![]() And it is both complex and rich in its features while still being fairly simple and easy to use.

![]() ![]() We can never know how they work, but we know that they work. That they change your body into something that hurls fireballs or make people like you when they really want to kill you is just a possibility in the Bioshock universe. Just like some 19th Century drugstore owner invented Coca Cola, vigors are an accident made by mixing strange compounds that happen to work like magic. Originally posted by tspendragn:I think vigors are probably like the drugstore version of plasmids. So, it really changes from player to player, but IMO, vigors are more interesting to keep changing, mostly if you try to do combos with it. ![]() On Bioshock 1, there's plasmids that I didn't even touched, like the one that make security attack the opponent, and the one that freeze. I used all vigors through infinite, some more than others, I give you that, but I used all. The last difference was added in Bioshock 2, which put your plasmids in a different button, this way we can use plasmid and shoot at the same time. The other difference is that on infinity you have a hotkey that switch between two powers, function that you don't have in B1. The difference is, opposing what you said, on B1 you have a limited number of slots to put your plasmids (6), you can't have all at once, while in infinite you have all at once. Both have a menu that pause the game and you can choose which one you want and both have hotkeys for each plasmid/vigor (by default, B1 use the function keys while Bi use the numerical keys, it's the only difference here). At least using a keyboard, it's basically the same thing. I just played Bioshock 1 again and I don't get your commentary. Also, I felt that I was only using 3 in infinite. You could access them all at once, instead of just having 2 at a time like in bioshock infinite. ![]() ![]() ![]() NEW: Added three new skins: Modern Cards: Dark, Modern Cards: Grey, and Modern Cards: White.ġ. ![]() Changed: Customize View > Chart > Metric words couldn't be translated.ġ3.

Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion. ![]() ![]() Typically, this would include the fuselage, stabilizers, and wings, and maybe their night textures, depending on if the night versions require something different from the default textures.Ĭopy these files into your newly created "liveries>MyRepaint>objects" folder.Īt this point, you're ready to start repainting those freshly copied files in Photoshop or GIMP.Īgain, note that ONLY THOSE FILES that are inside your "liveries>MyRepaint>objects" folder will act as stand-ins for the default ones. Next, go to your aircraft's main "objects" folder (in your plane's top directory), and select all the files that need to be repainted in order to create your livery. Then create a sub-folder, and call it "objects". To create your own repaint, start by creating a folder inside the "liveries" folder, called "MyRepaint". These graphic files would be the starting point for your repaint. The blank files are located inside the main "objects" folder, and if you were to delete the "liveries" folder altogether, these textures would be the ones that get loaded. So it is really important to respect file names and folder structures when creating your own repaints.Īll of Carenado's planes contain a blank paint scheme, which is actually the default paint scheme of the plane. Only files with identical names will be recognized as "stand-ins" for the default graphic files. Each file that is contained in this folder acts as a substitute for a graphic file of the same name that is normally found inside your aircraft's main "objects" folder.įor instance, if in the "liveries>MetallicBlue>objects" folder you find a graphic file with the name "fuselage.png", this file will be loaded, instead of the default "fuselage.png" file, which sits in the main "objects" folder. Inside the folder that has the name of the livery, there's a sub-folder called "objects," and THAT's where the actual image files for the repaint are contained. For instance, if a folder inside the "liveries" folder is called "Metallic Blue", then this is one option you will see in the livery selector in X-plane. This folder name is what's used in X-Plane in the selection dialog. The first sub-folder that contains the livery will bear the name of that livery. For this, please check out the "liveries" folder, and take a look at the existing liveries. Second, it is important to familiarize yourself with the file and folder structure of repaints. Photoshop or Gimp is an essential tool for repaints. All of the systems are entirely custom programmed, including the autopilot, CRT displays (EHSI and EADI), powerplant, hydraulics and more!
