I disagree with that a little; Salvation is a gift that must be accepted. You have free will, you can choose to accept -- or even later, abandon that gift -- however you wish.

But you have to make that choice if you are able to.

And... your faith must bear fruit.

(Children and the severely mentally impaired are not able to make that choice.)

there is nothing under the sun we can do, individually, or collectively, to be redeemed.
Of course there is: "Repent, and sin no more". (And since you're fallen... repeat as necessary).

Here are what I consider to be the best games I've ever played (in no particular order):

Skyrim
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Doom
Pac-Man
Tetris
Final Fantasy 6
Final Fantasy 9
Megaman 2
Megaman 3
The Legend of Zelda
The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
Super Metroid
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
God of War II

.... ought to be a little entertaining. Almost makes me wish I'd get mod points, but I haven't seen mod points in a decade now.

It's a better description of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

Elwin Ransom ultimately reached the correct way to deal with the diabolically inspired.

I 9mm is an effective round (for a hand gun). Personally, I don't think you'll go wrong with a 9mm, .40, or .45 ACP. I carry a Springfield XD-S chambered in .45 ACP, and my wife carries a 9mm as her everyday carry gun.

If there was trouble at my house, I'm not going for any of my handguns. Then it's shotgun / AR-15 time.

My favorite handgun I own is a Glock 21 chambered in .45 ACP. It's a nail driver -- very, very accurate. 13+1 capacity, double stacked magazine. Absolutely love shooting that one.

According to this video, it was a .40 caliber Sig Sauer.

Even if you're a terrific shot -- the bad guy will bleed out faster from a couple of holes from a .45 ACP than he will from a couple of .22's.

Accuracy matters -- so carry the highest caliber you can be accurate with. For me, that caliber is .45 ACP. Hornady Critical Defense / Remington Golden Saber +P.

No worries, brother. Tell blackwidowb I said hi.
