Happy Fourth of July, all! I pray that God would strengthen us to respond to the anger and suffering in our country by reflecting Christ's love in our words and our actions. I pray that God would grant us opportunities to point others toward a merciful Lord and redeemer who alone can bear up...

@Krissa Lox I read this and thought of you: Source: https://emilysmith.substack.com/p/ambassadors-or-culture-warriors I hope the article encourages you. I know it's been a rough year.

Most of our activity takes place on the CGA Discord server these days. The Discord server is better suited to real-time (or nearly real-time) conversations while the forums are better suited to asynchronous (staggered, not real-time) communication, announcements, and sharing of helpful...

If your TF2 client is crashing any time you join a server, opt out of the Steam beta client, restart Steam, and try again. You can opt out by right-clicking the Steam icon in your system tray, clicking Settings, and clicking Change in the Beta participation section. Credit goes to reddit user...

Can you believe Tribe of Judah was founded 22 years ago today? It feels surreal--especially to me! Though we're playing different games now than we did in 1999, our common faith in Christ and our hobby of gaming still brings us together. I'm truly grateful to be part of a community of gamers...

Updated XenForo to version 2.2.5 (May 5, 2021).

Yes. The new server address is mc.toj.cc

WE MADE IT TO THE WEEKEND Why is that four-day work weeks--I took a day of PTO (paid time off) on Monday--seem even longer than five-day work weeks? It just doesn't make sense. Anyway, we've made it to Saturday, for which I am most grateful. Work wasn't especially stressful, but recent changes...

If I'm understanding correctly that you're asking, "If I ask God to forgive me, will He forgive me?" then I believe the answer is "Yes," based on the following Bible verses: Romans 10:9-10, ICB 1 John 1:9, ICB When we ask for forgiveness, we must ask with sincerity and we must ask...

Good Saturday morning, all! I just finished paying the CGA's yearly expenses from our PayPal account: $105 USD for our hosting, $55 for our XenForo license renewal, and $20 for our XenForo style license renewal for a total of $180 USD in annual expenses. We currently have $132.93 USD in our...

Still Puzzle & Dragons. Built a team for optimized event farming then used it far less than originally planned. Still Smash Bros. Ultimate, too. Made my way to what I think (?) is the final boss in World of Light, but I'm waiting until the younger child can watch before tackling the fight...

This past Sunday, our pastor delivered a sermon on unexpected delays and used the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt (and specifically Exodus 13:17-22) to illustrate the lesson points. The highlight for me, having grown up in a church sub-culture that trended toward Prosperity Gospel, was the...

Last week was a break from the norm as I spent the work week in training. The course was very informative and the labs, conducted in virtual machines and accessed by web browser, were very helpful in learning new-to-me tech. The course featured so much information that I described the class as...

Our pastor taught on Jesus' conversation with the disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-27). The main points were that (1) the doctrine of the Resurrection is essential to Christianity and (2) what you believe about the Resurrection has eternal significance. He also pointed out that Jesus...

Work has been consistently inconsistent in terms of workload, with recent weeks shifting from eerily quiet to quite busy but still manageable. @Ember and I have been fully vaccinated since February. We're still proceeding cautiously, but numbers in our community are trending the right way and...

Still Puzzle & Dragons. Random chance continues to be unkind. Still Overwatch, Deep Rock Galactic, Team Fortress 2, and Guns of Icarus Alliance for online multiplayer fun. Played some Super Mario Bros. 35 this last week to celebrate/mourn the end of the game's availability. Made it to second...

He is risen! Luke 24:1-9, ESV

@Solicfear My apologies for not approving your post sooner! I know the event has ended, but I wanted to go ahead and approve the post and move it to the CGA General Discussion forum for higher visibility. I wish you the best with future events!

Still Puzzle & Dragons and Wordscapes on mobile. Monogatari collab ends in PAD tonight. Random chance was unkind to my main account when it came to the REM (rare egg machine, PAD's gacha) but kinder to my alt. Continuing to make progress in World of Light in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Had...

Updated Omni style to version 2.2.4 (March 14, 2021).
