He hurts me, he fulfills me, he completes me. To come face to face with the demons I suppressed in my memory. In doing so, he's forcing me to feel, to heal. And he's spending his final days living, truly living. He chooses to wear all black, all the time, as if he's waiting to attend a funeral. He's pushy, he's arrogant, he crowds my personal space, and worst of all: he makes me feel. His name is Everett, but I call him rude. ![]() A text message sent to the wrong number proves to be my undoing. The only emotion I feel with any kind of depth is annoyance, and I feel it often. While people are laughing and kissing and connecting, I'm in the corner. I choose to live my life by observation, not through experience. My body is marked with scars from an attack I don't remember. And you're closer to death than I am." My name is Parker. "In here," he said, pushing on the skin above my heart, "you're 10 below zero. ![]()

It became a show with romance themes, misunderstandings, and drama shenanigans that really took relationships to a strange level. this series actually presents is far more just about gamers gathering together to play games. And that’s too bad really.īased on the light novel of the same name, Gamers stood out as an anime at first for me just by its title and it seemed like a show that I felt comfortable with. It ended up being an anime that I can’t fully say it’s appreciable for what it had to offer. However, what really follows is a rough adaptation that translated into a questionable story. As a gamer myself, this anime really feels relatable at heart on occasions because of its concepts. Gamers is honestly a show that made me scratch my head more than I realized. ![]() ![]() But it wasn’t for John, Jesus and their world. ![]() Even when we are not thinking about it, it is in the back of our minds. We are taught from a young age that everything light and white is good, and everything dark and black is bad. And it is far too easy for us as to hear those words through our history of race and racism. “This good news is framed in the stark language of light and dark, shadow and glory. Wil Gafney and Alexander John Shaia remind us, the darkness, too, is holy. Oftentimes, Advent is framed as a contest between ‘day’ and ‘darkness,’ resisting the night to usher in the light. Now, we attend to the ordinary matters of life while carrying the hoped-for life of the Divine kin-dom, culminating in our collective celebration of the Christmas season.īut how do we move from mundanity to labor pangs to birth?Ĭan we enter into this season without spiritually disassociating? ![]() ![]() Once, Mary began her long journey to Jerusalem to oblige their state’s census while growing the life of Emmanuel ( God-with-us) within her.

This process doesn’t have to be learned we already know it. The player of the inner game comes to value the art of relaxed concentration above all other skills he discovers a true basis for self-confidence and he learns that the secret to winning any game lies in not trying too hard. In short, it is played to overcome all habits of mind which inhibit excellence in performance. This is the game that takes place in the mind of the player, and it is played against such obstacles as lapses in concentration, nervousness, self-doubt and self-condemnation. It is the thesis of this book that neither mastery nor satisfaction can be found in the playing of any game without giving some attention to the relatively neglected skills of the inner game. The outer game is played against an external opponent to overcome external obstacles, and to reach an external goal. ![]() “It’s not about the win or the loss if we’re here to experience, then we are free.” IntroductionĮvery game is composed of two parts, an outer game and an inner game. ![]() “It’s not about the tennis,” he reminds me. ![]() They must clear their minds of all confusion and earn the ability to let themselves play freely.
