I thank God every day I can for people like you, for instance, in my life, as best as I can remember to do so, I must tell you.

One day, this Chinese virus will be destroyed, and we will walk with the One who made us all, and knew us even before He knit us together in our own respective mothers' wombs, even from before the foundation of the Universe as we know it now. Won't that be so amazing, Eugene? We may not have sports contested in eternity, but who needs sports when we'll have the best thing ever that can possibly be, which is to eternally be with God in perfection as we always should have been since the time of the Garden of Eden?

I know that these trials and all are merely light afflictions meant to test how much we love and trust Him with all that we have and all that we are, et cetera, before they will forever be no more, after we hopefully have successfully completed the race that we each have been given in this world He created mere thousands of years ago. We are being refined like a pot in a kiln, to see what we are truly made of, character-wise, even though He already knows us completely, inside and out, for sure.

Will write more later, I'm sure, Lord willing, EC. Please take care, and all, I hope, my dear friend and brother in Christ, as best as you can, and all. CD out.

That is nice of you to say, CD.

I'm just a sinner saved by the grace of God.

Any good that come out of my life comes from a Holy God, not from me.

The more I try to live the way He wants me to, the better my life seems to go... I am truly blessed... don't really deserve it... I just try to do the Godly thing in all situations... sadly, I don't always do the right thing, but the more I do it, the closest I get to God and the easier it is to follow Him.

I am far from perfect... but I'm a little more obedient to God as the days go by... I am a work in progress... slowly, but surely, He is making me a better person.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I feel exactly the same way as you do, in truth, EC. We're ALL sinners, whether we've chosen to accept Him or not into our lives, and it is ONLY through grace, and not by works, that we are saved, if we are truly saved and His.

Yes, I wholeheartedly agree that any good that comes out of our lives comes through His constantly working in us and our lives, and not ever from ourselves at all. For our hearts are not naturally inclined to do good in our lives, due to our unfortunately common sin natures in each of our imperfect lives, you know.

I also agree completely with the rest of your post, as well, of course. May we always seek Him and His ways for the rest of our lives, no matter what our greatest enemy and his followers or associates may wish for each of us, I hope, EC.

In the meantime, please continue to pray for me and my family and all, just as I always try to remember to do for you and yours, and many others in this world, for sure. Seems my parents who are now in their seventies are having some very difficult times in certain ways, especially on the health-related front, at the present time, if I'm not too mistaken here, EC. We could really use more prayers for us and those close to us, I'm quite sure.

Thank you for your time and friendship and all, of course, Eugene. With all the brotherly love I can possibly send you right now, and always, I sincerely wish you and yours all well, Lord willing, you know. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

CD, you are a good man... I'm am glad that Jesus brought us together.
One thing I can say is that your theology is absolutely correct... you explained your beliefs clearly based on the truth found in the Bible.

Ephesian 5:8-9 says it all... we are saved by the grace of God and not by our works... we are saved by Jesus to DO good works... not BY our good works.

I pray for you each morning in my daily prayer devotion... I will include your family, too.

May God bless all of abundantly.

Managed to do more work on the Electrics, and did caps and uniforms for WindGuardian. Hope to be able to do more items for various people later, of course, Lord willing. CD out.

You did a pretty good job on the Electrics... kq76 should like them... you used flashy, bright colors on one of the sets... the one on the far right should do the job.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Am working on popping out prospective teams' looks, at least in terms of the uniforms, so far, for a possible Arizona-based league, whether Arizona Fall League-related or not. Koohead seems to like how I'm thinking for such a league idea here, to be honest, at the moment. Hopefully I'll have at least a dozen teams done that he can pick from for a potential Arizona-based league in the near future, of course. At least as far as caps and uniforms, but someone else will likely have to make the related logo or logos for the various teams, you know.

May produce more items for the Electrics later, but not sure yet. Surely kq76 should be able to find a good deal of possible use out of the items I've already done, or may soon do, for that team of his. Or at least I hope and I believe he might be able to find such with them as he sees fit and all, that is.

Will write more later, if and when I can. Lord willing, of course, that is, Eugene. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

CD, in my opinion, you should just do a home team jersey and cap and an away jersey and cap for each request... that's pretty much standard by most of the graphics guys.

You don't have to do 5 or 6 versions.

If you only did 2-3 versions of each request, you would have more time to work on other requests.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I like to give people options, often, or I'd like to, but I don't have many requests yet, to be honest. Perhaps by providing more options, that might attract more interest from others, and all, I think. That way, perhaps they'll have a better idea of what I can do, and all, and that might help them out when they're possibly looking for help on their teams, EC.

Of course, I may go at least a bit overboard at times, I admit, with certain things and all in my life. But the more options that might be worth considering for teams' looks, whether or not OOTP ever allows us to use more than the standard numbers of slots for uniforms, caps, and/or logos, the better, maybe. If they don't want me to do any more work on a particular team, they can easily say they're good and satisfied and all with what I've done for them, you know.

Will write more later, I'm sure, when and where possible and all, Lord willing. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Several more items for you to consider using for Hllsboro and Fairfax in my new graphics thread that you started for me, Eugene. Might try to do some work on Far Mountain and/or Ancona tonight too, at least. Or at the latest, tomorrow night or Wednesday night. Hope you like them and all, of course. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

CD, thank you for all the work you have done.

I have plenty of Hillsboro jerseys... don't need any more.

Don't need Ancona jerseys... I'm fine there.

Fairfax is also completed... don't do any more for them.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

You have 1,000 terabytes, more or less, of total hard drive space? That sounds quite unlikely, Eugene, for obvious reasons. I think you added at least three zeroes to your claimed total of storage-type bytes, at the end of things there. I really don't think there's ever been a single-user personal computer with a thousand terabytes of space on a single hard drive for it. Just find that quite hard to believe here.

Just a few thoughts here, that's all. How can OOTP and your musical recordings take up 960,000 gigabytes of storage space on your computer, perhaps? Just wondering, you see. Talk more with you later, I'm sure, of course, Lord willing. CD out.

I have a terrabyte of storage space... I was wrong... it is 1,000,000 megabytes... not 1,000,000 gibabytes.

OOTP files in each version take 50 to 70 gigabytes of storage space... music file also us a lot of space... I have a music library of 7500 songs... plus I had lot of playlists stored that added to it.

Anyway, my problem is solved because I removed a lot of items that were taking up a tremendous amount of space on my computer.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Hope someone can help me with the lettering for the Phoenix Tricksters, but if they can't, or won't, then so be it. Koohead seems to like a lot of what I've done so far for the proposed Arizona-based league, in any case. And the potential names of the teams in it, whether I've made anything for them or not yet, come to think of it. He says that they sound suitable enough for a league in the Southwest, especially Arizona, and I'm thinking he's probably right, being from there and all, after all.

Wonder what kq76 is doing now, too. Was hoping he'd drop by the applicable thread again soon, as well. Hopefully he'll like a lot of the new things for the Electrics, besides the things he may have already seen so far, if and when he sees them well enough.

Will write more later, I'm sure, of course, EC. Lord willing and all, that is. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

I like the name Mesa Sunfires... that sounds like a baseball nickname to me and fits the region... even though I don't know what a sunfire is.... Wildfires would be a good nickname for some parts of the West.

You are doing a much better job on picking jersey colors in your graphics thread... still think you should stick to traditional color combinations and limit the number of colors to 2-3 per team.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I am using a bit of wordplay with a few of the names, or at least one or two of them, such as the one related to Mesa, for instance. I wanted to use a different name for Mesa than the actual Arizona Fall League team name, so I decided to do a bit of wordplay for the prospective Mesa-based team in this possible Arizona-based baseball league I'm currently working on items for.

I will use, or have already begun to use, several, if not all, of the logos that koohead posted, for sure. But I have already changed, or will change, certain team nicknames or locations for teams using those logos. I promised him at least twelve teams, at least uniforms and/or caps-wise, plus perhaps up to eight potential bonus teams for such a potential league here, that he could pick and choose from. I think I'll somehow be able to produce most, if not all, of the necessary caps and all, Lord willing, of course. But any number of others around here might ultimately have to make some logos for those teams, if they haven't already been done by the time I'm done working on teams for that potential Arizona-based baseball league, to be sure.

I'm certainly trying to make sure that no two teams share the exact same colors with each other as much as I can, for obvious reasons, but I still think there may be some colors that certain teams in said league or its relevant subleagues might possibly share to a degree. Or at appear to nearly do so, anyway, EC.

Will write more later as time permits and all, I'm quite sure. Lord willing, of course, that is. I'm hoping that I can finish work on the proposed teams for his prospective new Arizona-based league very soon, whether he calls it the Arizona Fall League or not, somehow, EC. And maybe other people can eventually also somehow use the items as well, come to think of it, if they like them enough and all, for various leagues and all, you know. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Couple more uniforms not likely to be posted to the thread I'm currently going gangbusters on. Caps may follow later. That is all. CD out.

[Eugene Church]

CD, don't worry about logos... you've already told them that you don't do logos... they can get them done by someone else.

Two Suggestions:
when you do a set of jerseys for a team, also do the caps at the same time... caps are easy to do.

Complete a team with jerseys and caps, then go to another team... that way you have completed that team and will not have to wonder if you have done the caps to match the jerseys... I think that is the way most people do it.

I think you should also just do one Home Jersey and one Away Jersey and two caps for each team... you don't need to do so many alternate jerseys and caps.

Most people are fine with one set of jerseys and caps.

These two suggestions would save you a lot of time.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Not worry, but concerned at times, for sure. I don't worry about anyone or anything, because there's no spiritual or physical or mental benefit, for example, in doing so, in this life that God has graciously allowed me to keep living in His world, in truth.

Sometimes the caps don't come to me immediately after doing the uniforms, EC. Sometimes I have to think about how I might want or need to have the caps look as best as possible before I make them. Remember, I'm rather picky, and some might even say, sort of perfection-minded, at times, when I'm working on something in my life.

It might often be a very good idea, at least, to simply do as you've just suggested here with the various uniforms and caps, of course, many times. But as I've said before, no doubt, I often want to give people some options on things, if and whenever I can and all, as best as possible, et cetera, as the Lord may lead me and all. Even if they still might normally be considered to be more like alternates and all, by many people, in fact.

Thank you for your input and all, EC. It is greatly appreciated and all, of course, as always. Here's hoping we see the Lord's will actually done all over the United States today, no matter where it is and no matter what it is and all, of course, and that many innocents will not suffer undeserved trouble and all from various other people because of anything occurring today and tonight and all, for sure.

The elected officials are in the hands of God.

I just hope we can get a president that will solve the virus problem and get our economy going again... I hope he is someone who will unite out country and work with the opposing party to do good for the America people and the people of the World... I hope he will deal with medical insurance for all, racial inequality, climate change and pollution, the infrastructure, transportation, roads, highways, bridges, electrical grid... and get Congress to work together for the common good of our people and the people of the World.

The World is in a huge mess right now.

God is in control... He will take care of us and his World in his perfect way.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

PM sent, EC. Just so you know. CD out.
