To all it may concern: there is a concert bennifiting Hurricane Katrina relief. It is at the cherry tree Cafe, Saturday, the 17th from 6-11.
Hurricane Update... FINALLY!!!
September 16 2005
wow... i have gotten all of your messages and words of concern, and i am totally overwhelmed that all of you remember me, let alone even CARE about my well being... usually on these trips, people are forgotten about within a couple weeks, but here we are months after NYC and i am still receiving calls and messages asking how me and my family are... i really appreciate it... to let all of you know, my family and i are all OK... our house is fine, my mom's work is fine, my grandparents house is fine, the special care home my grandma is staying in is fine... if there's one word i think God hates, its "lucky"... we definitely were not lucky, we were BLESSED... B-L-E-S-S-E-D... BLESSED!!!!!!... it was like God put a forcefield around us and told the winds and water, "NO, not this house"... many others, however, were not as fortunate... the pictures on TV and on the internet cannot even begin to let you see the craziness that goes on down here... the casino industry is totally devastated (which is a huge economic blow), all of the beachfront (including houses, restaurants, and other buildings) is totally gone, whole neighborhoods totally wiped out, hundreds of people walk the streets because they have no place to live and no work because both were destroyed, major highway roads uprooted like an earthquake hit... biloxi is about equivalent to a third-world country right now... the water isnt clean, many are without power (God has provided us with both power, and a lot of drinking water though)... it looks a lot like Hiroshima looked after the atomic bomb was dropped on it... if you have ever seen those commercials for the "save the children's foundation" where theres an old man holding a child among a pile of rubble, saying, "for just 17 cents a month, you can save this child's life", that is what biloxi looks like right now... words just cant express the devastation here... anyways, once again, i thank all of you for your prayers and concern... God is still good, even if we would've lost everything we had... let me know how you all are doing... take care, and i love yall...

Something to Think About:

If you could go anywhere in the world right now (w/out having to worry about money and whatnot) where would you go?
Why?
What would be the first thing you do when you get there?

It's definitely been a long week. Remember those weeks when you were young and you just were getting back into the routine of school after a long summer break? That's what this week has felt like. Training went well. No problems there. I and another girl, Jennifer, started this week doing the same thing, so it's been good to have someone to learn with. We both finally got our own desks and computers set up!! WHOHOO!! Finally we can really begin.
I really wish that I had some pictures of the BG Center. It's absolutely gorgeous! First of all, it's back from the road, so it actually kind of looks like you're in the mountains. The design of the buildings is like a mountain lodge, with the stone and timbers. I just wish they had a locker room and showers so that I could ride my bike to work. They told me that the only place where there was a shower was in Franklin Graham's office. I've been telling people that I'm gonna write Franklin a note asking him if I can use his shower and why. Actually, Franklin was there today but I didn't get up enough courage to ask him because he was having lunch with a group out on the patio. But I think I really will write him a note and give it to his secretary.
Tomorrow I'm going hiking at Crowder's mountain with Ani, the absolutely most sweetest friend of mine!! I can't wait!! I'll post pictures later!!

Hey everyone!! So school has had its up and downs...Up: Not seeing alot of my high school people, having huge breaks between my classes, getting involved in christian ministries...Quest and AO...Down: Not knowing anyone, not talking alot anymore, I have become moreshy than usual, having a feeling of aloness, haven't made any friends in any of my classes and its like the 3rd week of school...Since school has started I have changed so much...I use to be so outgoing now I am mute...People might think I'm acting snobby but I'm not...I just don't have anything to say...I've lost anything and everything to talk about...I've become boring...which I've always wished would never happen to me...My worst fears have happened...sigh...Peace Love....oh yeah a little bit of Happiness
Lonely weekend
September 16 2005
Hey guys,
I just thought that I would type a little blog for yall....I am sitting in the library and thought about you guys. I am going to have a weird weekend because both my roommate and suitemates are going home. Nick and Elvis left earlier and Kyle is leaving soon. I am going to Kentucky tommarow morning to see "my" raider team compete and I will get to see my father. I think that it will be fun. I will be back in K-town tommarow around 4 or 5 cause I can't miss the UT v. Florida game. This is like the biggest game of the season for us. I hope that we play like National Champions and beat florida so that we will be National Champs at the Rose Bowl.
Just to let the people that actually read this know, I got my letter of acceptance into Dance Marathon Morale commitee. Dance Marathon is a 24 hour event on campus in the spring where people dance to raise money for East TN Children's Hospital. I am on the Morale commitee, so I will be helping to plan it and keep the dancers motivated on the day of the event.
I also got asked back for my 2nd interview with Freshman Council with UTSGA. I hope that interview goes good so that I can be a member of that organization. Hopefully I will. Well I am about to finish up my english paper for monday, because I wont have time on Sunday because of church, practice for wednesday's mission explosion at a local youth group, which I am doing the sound and video, and finally the Clement Hall Residents Association is putting on an event to kick of the first year...
Well I better get to work on that paper.
Love in Him,
Jason

Advanced Infectious Mononucleosis
September 16 2005
Has anyone ever had mono? Well this week I am so fortunate to have been diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis. a.k.a. "The Kissing Disease," and for those of your wondering, I have not been going around kissing people. You know, I have always wondered about this disease and that they all hype up how contageous it is through the mouth and saliva, but you know what? It has to start somewhere! What initially causes mono? Any of you actually pay attention in health class? I didn't, and I am certainly paying for it. I went to the store today and bought about $30 worth of juices, yogurt and jello. I hate that my throat was so swollen that it was too painful to force down any solid food. Let me tell you ladies and gentlemen, I don't know how I got this for sure, but be weary of who you kiss and who you drink after. Because I am in it for the looooong hall!

God told him... so i'm SO scared... i feel like not even letting anyone ride w/ me anymore ya kno? i mean, i'd be sooooooo scared if i was in an accident all by myself but i'd rather go thru that than have someone i love in the car w/ me get hurt in the accident...

It's a little after 8 as I type this. I don't know why to care to emphasize that. I guess you can just picture me sitting here at the computer with a sort of sleepy expression on my face with an occassional yawn. The dreary weather is sort of setting my mood as well. It doesn't make me melancholy, just sort of ho-hum. I like the cool weather outside today; it feels so nice.
So what do you know, today is the sixteenth and today I have been with Garrett for sixteen months. That would be Garrett Shaw, not to be confused with Garrett Haynes, who is celebrating a birthday today.
Sorry I haven't had anything intelligent to write in the past few days. Maybe I should go listen to the American Idiot album so I'll have something to rant about. ;-) Ha ha just kidding, Clint!
I'm like 95% sure that my b'day party will be September 24 at my house at 7. I'll let you know for sure later but if you love me, you won't make plans for that day. Hee hee...
Please continue to pray for me... and everyone have a great day!

I was looking through my vinal collection, when I found a poem scribbled on the sheaf of one of the albums. I don't know who wrote it, but it was atleast 20 years old, and it it was about my father and my deceased uncle.
It made me think of simpler times. Childhood is such a great time. Everything is new, and solid. The security and the trust of your parent's word, as though they could never do wrong. I only hope that 20 years from now, I can provide such a great childhood for my kids.

the variety show was hilarious. so much fun. Nemanja was so funny...and i actually had a really good time this year. twas muchos fun-os. jared and his mom were there, so that was embarrassing/ fun. my mic didn't go schitzo on me, so that was a plus...so overall, twas a good experience...everyone liked the 80s lesbian get up. today was so much fun. we had "spirit day" which entails going out to the courtyard, waiting in line to buy Far East, and then screwin around with Thomas and Kaitlin...then a little freshman came and sat with us and told us about drinking wine..."hardcore" freshman make me laugh. anyways, fun times. i'm tired as crap. love and bunny nuggets (yes, i have lost my mind)...---Cari

well for those of you who are wondering. homecoming is Oct.14th. lots to do before then, and no time. but hey it'll ALL be ok. God's on my side and will pull me through everything.
this week has been amazing. i'm a firm believer in the when you have a bad week you'll have an awesome week the next theory. everything's going my way, with school, with homecoming, friends, the whole boy situation is undercontrol and it's AMAZING to feel this kind of release. God really has been good to me lately :)
anyways i hope you guys have an amazing rest of the week. i have practice and a game tomorrow afternoon, and then Hendersonville on Saturday, so i probably won't be on here again, unless i get on tomorrow.

September 15 2005
i was in the front of the riverdale parking lot, in the first 5 spaces and a guy in a dodge truck was at the back of the parking lot, towards the baseball fields. way far away. and then i backed out and saw him and i just got out of my mouth he's got enough room to stop, and then i looked down to put my car in gear and then looked in my mirror again and he wasn't slowing down and i looked at erin and then he just hit me going like 20-25. and then we just sat there looking at each other and erin said i am not getting out of the car and so i got out and looked and the trunk is warped, the tailight is hanging out and it busted everywhere, and then the frame around the tire was touching the tire. and then i called my parents and the police. i have 3 witnesses that said he was forever away and had plenty of time to stop. and then he said he didnt want to hit the parked car sitting behind me but even with us in the middle of the road his truck still could have fit through there. he also had a boot on his right leg.
i feel awful. i was so scared. and then i will have to pay my parents half to fix it. grr. oh Yolanda, my poor black Honda. shes in the shop, taking a much needed rest. and we will get an estimate on the damage tom. morning.
on a lighter note. tommorrow is a half day with a pep rally. and then afterwards....who knows!

"You don't even know what tomorrow will bring-what your life wil be! For you are a bit of smoke that appears for a little while, then vanishes. James 4:14
God totally slapped me in the face with that. We always plan our lives for tomorrow, but we forget about now. What we end up doing is not paying attention to now that we miss you on what God wants to show us today. What is He showing you today? Have you taken that moment to stop and ask God what He wants to reveal to you today?
______________________________________
Thanks so much for everyone who tried to make me feel better yesterday. I really appreciate it. It was just one of those days where nothing was wrong but nothing was right at the same time. But luckily it is tomorrow and not yesterday.
COLDPLAY in 4 more days!

The Condition of Society
September 15 2005
In many American schools the "Impressions" series is promoting the New Age and the occult. Some programs have students being taught that they alone are the ones who should decide if drug use is good or bad. Many school textbooks teach anti-family values, promote homosexuality, teach moral relativism, encourage sexual conduct, and, of course, instill evolution as a fact. In addition, they condemn the notion of a Christian God even being mentioned. Consider the following:
"When 10-year old Raymond Raines bowed his head and silently said grace over lunch in a St. Louis public school cafeteria, he was placed in detention for a week and told that he must eat in a room by himself if he continued to pray.
"When 30 Texas high school students gathered to pray at the flagpole before school one morning, the principal politely told them not only to leave, but to pray out of sight.
"In Illinois, a high school principal sent police to break up a similar prayer group. Two students were arrested."
Obviously, America (and the world) is in desperate need of the life changing gospel of Jesus.
I got all of that off of an interesting christian web site. It is a great place to go to do research on christianity, see what christianity has to say about other religions, and get statistics.

Better than Santa Claus
September 15 2005
My mom is coming in town this weekend. I am so excited to have some of home here in the city. I don't know that we are going to do anything special, but she is bringing all her new movies that she has bought...The new Pooh Heffalump Halloween movie, Ice Princess, Because of Winn Dixie, and I don't even know what else. When my mom would come to visit me in the Boro this is what she would always do...bring her new kid movies over.
If you know me, you know how much I love my Mom. She is an amazing woman of God. She nags me about money and going to the doctor when I feel bad. And with these things, I know she cares. She is a child at heart and always will be.
If you don't know me then you don't know that my Mom got married when she was 16 and had me when she was 17. She gave up her childhood so that I could live my life and reach for my dreams. I can't remember a time when she didn't make me breakfast before I went to school or make extra dinner when I unexpectedly brought 4 or 5 of my friends home. She has never missed anything that I have performed in...this even counts college. She rearranged her life for me and my brother.
I am so blessed to have a Mother and Father who love me and are understanding when I tell them that I want to move thousands of miles away to pursue God's heart instead of the music business. That to live a life of comfort is just not in the cards for me.
I hope one day that I get the chance to be like my Mother with my own children.
I didn't intend for this to be so sentimental and sappy, but just share that I am way excited to see my Mom tomorrow. It's like waiting up all night on Christmas Eve in the hopes of getting to see a glimpse of Santa Claus, but this is even better because she is REAL and I get to hang out with her for three whole days!
If you call this weekend and I don't answer...it's because I am hanging out with my MOM!!!!!

When it rains, it pours.
It's Raining Men....
September 15 2005
Oh, if only.
Actually, it's just plain raining.
Let's make that pouring.
I am sopping wet. The umbrella is/was safe and dry in the car, however. The irony of this is sickening.
Must leave to drive across town.
GAHHHHH.
*Drip*
I hate thunderstorms. *Whimpers*

September 15 2005
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted/planned to come to FC. As the time actually got close to leave, and coming here actually became reality, I got very anxious. In many ways, my expectations have become a reality. Up to this point, however, I know not all of them have. I think it comes with being new here. It's a completely new atmosphere and I have to learn to adjust to all the changes.
Well, I've been here for almost a month now, and I think I'm finally beginning to settle in. It has taken a little while, but that's okay. I'm ready to do what God has planned for me in my time here. I AM SOO EXCITED!!!
I already have some friends that I know are going to be lasting friendships. I love my kamp girls Katie and Amanda.Katie today at lunch was talking about us getting a bible study together. She mentioned how she wants to focus on 'studying' b/c its not a priority. And I couldn't agree with her more for me too. Studying gets put on the back burner.I'm distracted with everything else that's going on here. I mean, sure I'm getting a lot of 'bible and devotion' but I'm missing this key ingredient. And that's My down time with God. I neglect it. And no matter how many things I may attend and do on the outside, or how many bible classes or chapels I sit in, if I, myself, am not studying on my own time..things just don't fall into place. I still have this huge void to fill.
So..I really would like to get this study going. And I really look forward to growing closer to my girls with the common bond of Christ.
Just some of my thoughts...
Have a blessed day!

My Peeps
September 15 2005
Shawn Brannon told me today that he's so sick he's heading back to Amory to hit up the doctor and they might hospitalize him. I know he's well enough to drive, cause I offered to cart him back (miss class for good reasons!)...he said he's been having stomach issues and vomiting and whatnot, but I don't think it's too serious. Anyhoo, keep him in your thoughts.
My bro called and unloaded a lot of stuff last night...he's making some major life-changing decisions...dunno how the Mom is gonna take it. She's kind of in her own little world anyway (crazy). It feels like I'm the parent sometimes. Makes me not want kids....hehe. Good thing MY SHOULDERS ARE BROAD! BOOYA!
The hours spent talking with the bro were supposed to have been for reading, but oh well. Just have to wing the paper and the discussion tomorrow, and then Friday I'm doing something fun. Don't know what, but it AIN'T gonna involve school. Leave any suggestions in me digital drop box. Peace, peoples.

God's Desire to Love His People
September 15 2005
Luke 13:34- O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!
My take away: If God has all of this love to show and give us but our selfish, week hearts can’t allow him to … then can you imagine the power behind the love once we let it in??? His love is evident even when we ignore it… what would it look and feel like if we allowed it in our lives. What would it look like if we trusted him… if we gave our sacrifices to him and not to things of the world… I just can’t imagine

Why Does Everyone Hate September?!
September 15 2005
I'm just noticing a trend, and at the risk of sounding stupid I'm gonna ask:
What's with everyone wanting September to end? This must be some song I'm not hearing...
Personally I LOVE September, because it is my birth month, school's still easy, and the fall finally arrives.
On a different note...
My first college test was this morning. It wasn't too bad.
AO was good. Gary was amazing.
Please pray for me... I'm trying to figure out which extracurricular activities I do and do not need to be involved in. If I did everything I want to do, I would have hardly any free time, so I have to consider the possibility of cutting some things out, especially I want something else to come in...

everything
September 15 2005
Well, I only have a few minutes before class starts and I'm not even going to be able to dive into everything that's on my mind right now because there's just so much. There is so much with which I am frustrated and so many things I am trying to figure out. The five hour long rush practice last night didn't help much either. I'm really excited about rush though. There are some great girls coming through and I love them!
I know that a lot of the reason I'm so frustrated is that my quiet times have been lacking, if not non-existent lately and I hate that. I really want to put God first in everything that I do, but somehwere along the way I have turned into the person that says, "I'm too busy, God." Such an idiotic statement, I know. God is in control of everything, including my rigorous schedule and if I would just make time for Him before anything else, then He would make it a lot easier to deal with.
I'm just really confused right now about people and their actions and words in general. I can't see why some people would be the way that they are, stringing others along and eventually dragging them through the dirt simply for their own personal ego trip and enjoyment. I can't see why some people think they are righteous or any better than anyone else. Most of all, I can't see why the people who are friends with these confusing people don't see it! They think the people who are treating them like crap are just great! I wish they would take a look from the outside looking in...
Other than that, I'm pretty much just ready to get the whole rush thing over with so that my life can be somewhat back to normal, whatever that is. :)

my name's WOMEN
September 15 2005
"I like glittering things and pretty things
As much as before
But being cool and being tough
Have become more important lately
You see? Times have changed so much
But why do I still hear such words as
"Tears are women's weapons"?
We have our weak sides
We are not always smiling
Don't forget
That we don't exist to be convenient for you
Though it's certain
I have a pain in my chest on some nights
It might be true
The more one experiences sufferings
The more he can be tender and strong
Do you think you have controlled everything
With a knowing look?
We are not dolls
Who are only dreaming
Do you think you have cheated us well
With a satisfied look?
Do remember
That we are not such simple beings"
-Ayumi Hamasaki

if my last blog sounded arrogant, then i apologize. i did not mean for it to sound that way. my bottom line is that people have questions and we should answer it. i only want to be available for you to ask me those tough questions. i'm not smart and i am reminded of that everyday in class, but i enjoy researching. it's wierd, but hey, it is me, right? so i just wanted to apologize if my blog sounded arrogant, but please send me your questions because your friends, classmates, etc. need a hope in these days. we have that hope and we need to share it.
in Him,
Josh
in Him,

my memories are walkin out the back door, and the photo album's spread out on the bathroom floor, it's time to say it, time to say it, goodbye, goodbye.
that's officially the most depressing song ever. especially when i look back on pictures of me n bruce n jared and the gang when we were little and ugly and chubby but still so cute...gosh. i miss those days. the closer i get to some people, the farther away i feel from bruce. but i'll see him again eventually. on a lighter note, variety show this morning was good. mr huffman got mad at me for being late to class. so it's official, i'm going to formal with Jared! woot. it's gonna be so much fun going with a good friend...ah....but alas, i must learn how to dance. speakin of dancing, everyone should come see the variety show on thursday night at 6:00 or 8:00 PM! i have solo! woot! and this year i don't have to wear a prom dress! but i do get to dress like an 80s lesbian. oh boy...PRAISE! Greyson's kidney tranplant was a success!

i just wonder how long it will take for everyone to forget about katrina...
dont by offended, please, but we always forget...
maybe we just forget about the things that are far away...like the tsunami...and many of us dont think about the victims of 9/11 everyday...
how long will it be when we dont think about new orleans every day? when cnn goes back to the normal cnn and not the katrina cnn? when will we stop seeing the number for the red cross on every news cast? troubling isnt it? how easily we all forget about the devastation and how easily we become consumed with our own lives? or "newer news"?

^death cab
*exhausted*
September 14 2005
Sooooooo tired.
I'm so incredibably glad that I did the majority of my homework yesterday afternoon. All I have left are a couple of algebra problems and a question on a biology worksheet. Egh, I need to look over some stuff for my college algebra test tomorrow.
Now on to something different. . .
I'm currently in love with the following songs:
Constellations -Jack Johnson
It was just another night
With a sunset and a moonrise
Not so far behind
To give us just enough light
To lay down underneath the stars
We listened to Papa's translations
Of the stories across the sky
We drew our own constellations
Wake Up -Hilary Duff
Give me a dance floor
Give me a DJ
Play me a record
Forget what they say
Cause I need to go
Need to get away tonight (tonight)
I put my makeup on a Saturday night
I try to make it happen, try to make it all right
I know I make mistakes
I'm living life day to day
It’s never really easy
But it’s ok
Stay With Me -Josh Gracin
Baby, there's just no use in hiding
The way that I am feeling right now
With you standing there baby I swear I can't help but stare
Girl you're wearing me out, wearing me out
Baby, stay with me share all your secrets tonight
We can make believe the morning sun never will rise
Come and lay your head on this big brass bed
We'll be alright as long as you stay with me
Here With Me -Jennifer Paige
In my head
I have dreams
I have visions of many things
Questions longings in my mind
Pictures fill my head
I feel so trapped instead
But trapped doesn't seem so bad
Cause You are here
It doesn't mean anything
Without you here with me
And I can try to justify
But I still need You here with me
Sometimes, it's best to just let the lyrics speak for you.

man, i like xanga so much better than this or myspace.... obviously.
What do you do when all of your problems are your own fault?
September 14 2005
Me?
I stress until I pass out.
Or something equally useful and productive as that.
*eye roll*
And the winner of this round is...
THE WORLD!!!!

Paranoid!
September 14 2005
I am so paranoid! So there is a beige Honda sitting in my driveway. I am thinking what if a serial killer or rapist is in my house?? So I call my brother hoping it is one of his friends, he knows nothing about it. This makes me even more nervous. So then I call my mom and as her if she knows what a beige Honda is doing in our driveway. I am like it could be a serial killer or rapist! She starts laughing and then says the killer is with her. Apparently she took a friend to the meeting with her. But I am so paranoid!!!
I Understand
September 14 2005
Guys,
I completely understand what you're saying. I'm glad you guys want to take a stand, but I know what it is like not having the answers.
So because I love you guys and God has blessed me with the odd pleasures of research and reading, I will be willing to answer any questions you guys (or ladies, of course) have to the best of my ability.
Hey, I just want to help you out because nobody could help me out in high school. This is where the rubber meets the road and honestly, it gets more difficult in college.
So, fire away and I'll do my very best.
I'm Out,
Josh

Dude... 4 days of band... then Cold Play
September 14 2005
Okay, more like 3 days of band... but still... it was 4 yesterday. I had a 3 hour practice on Tuesday, I will have 3 hours tomorrow, then about 6 on friday, then 8 or 9 on saturday, wich is a competition in Hendersonville. I am excited about Saturday, but, I'm not too hyped about tomorrow and the day after. I guess we need it though. I do need to learn those last 10 or so sets. Well, it's not that I don't know them it's just that they aren't imprinted in my memory yet.. lol.
Then, on Sunday, COLD PLAY!! Yes!!!! That will be fun. I am VERY hyped about that.
But what makes me sad is that I am going to have like zero Amanda time. I reeeeeally want to see her some time before next weekend. I could friday, but no, Mr. Rhody had to schedual a freakin practice... gurrr. I think I might be able to see her next Wednesday, wich is a day after our two month. That would be cool. But still, it's not this week and that makes me sad.
Anyway, Thats all I got for now.
Peace-out homie!
