“I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers and sisters, so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ. And so all Israel will be saved. As the Scriptures say, “The one who rescues will come from Jerusalem, and he will turn Israel away from ungodliness. And this is my covenant with them, that I will take away their sins.”

Many of the people of Israel are now enemies of the Good News, and this benefits you Gentiles. Yet they are still the people he loves because he chose their ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn.

Once, you Gentiles were rebels against God, but when the people of Israel rebelled against him, God was merciful to you instead. Now they are the rebels, and God’s mercy has come to you so that they, too, will share in God’s mercy. For God has imprisoned everyone in disobedience so he could have mercy on everyone.”

Romans 11:25-32

Nobody really knows WTF really happened before about 5,000 years ago. We use limited evidence to construct sweeping theories that fit our current world circumstances and call them “settled” science. And then inevitably more discoveries are made that change the previously established facts.

So you saved about 65 gallons. Say gas was $4/ gal… you saved $260.

You do realize that gas is way less than half the cost of each mile driven on your vehicle, don’t you? Every mile you drive your car costs .25 to .50 cents in depreciation, wear & tear, and maintenance costs.

Putting those excessive miles on a rental vehicle in the space of a few days is a fiscally sound move

I love my Mustang Convertible. Comfortable. Handles great. Plenty of power (I have the 4 cyl. ecoboost). Plenty of room to put stuff. Open sky on beautiful days.

The fastest ocean liner ever built.

She’s finally unmoored from the Philadelphia dock she’s been at for the past 30 years, and now on her way down the Delaware River towards the Atlantic. Will be towed to Mobile Alabama to undergo preparations for her sinking off the coast of Florida to become an artificial reef and museum.

Was a beautiful ship back in her time. Wish I’d had the opportunity to take a voyage on her.

So these fascist frickers are officially and publicly denouncing free speech? That’s the only conclusion that can be drawn from his pathetic statement.

God help their native citizens to rise up and throw these bastards out of office!

As for the comments about Helly mocking the story, I think her love for Mark is more important than the family at this point. She was trying to win him over.

But it’s Helena, not Helly. Helly is the one who spent all that time with Mark and formed the actual bond with him.
Helena just jumped in and took Helly’s place a few days ago and was acting as a mole for the company. Helena might have some initial feelings for Mark. But it’s clear her mission was to spy on the team and was sanctioned by the company on some level.

I don’t understand a few things:
1. Mark is newly reintegrated, yet now decides to sleep with his coworker?? I’d have thought he’d be much more focused on finding his wife now, with his two selves combined. He’d be overjoyed with having been with her at work and now realizing she’s truly alive.
Sleeping with Helly would have made much more sense before his reintegration.

2. Helena being a smartass/ disrespectful about the Deiter Eagan story. How does that work with her mole mission? If their goal is to keep Mark S focused on completing Cold Harbor, I’d think she’d not try to create division in the group like she did.
