philosophy class
September 06 2005
so i'm pathetic...when the story i'm about to tell you happened, i thought to myself "self, you need to write that on phusebox!" yeah...i have no life!
anyways, to the story. so i'm sititng in philosophy class (which i may add my teacher is crAAAAzy!) and we are talking about piety and "what is piety?" is it because the gods love it that it is pious, or do the gods love it because it's pious? so in order to demonstrate this, my teacher, pretending to be god, picks up the trashcan and proceeds to hug it saying "i love the trashcan, it is pious!" right at this moment, a girl (obviously lost) starts to walk into our classroom. she takes one look at our teacher and JETS out the door! it was hilarious! he was like "my lectures are quite strange if taken out of context...." i just thought that would be a humerous story to share with everyone! have a great day!

It hurts
September 06 2005
I hate being nice...I gave my heart out to him and it just seems like he didn't care...it hurts...I had strong feelings for you and all you did was walk all over me...when you were down and did some pretty screwed up things I was there to try pick you up...I wanted to see you happy...I wanted to see you get better but you ended up getting worse and worse...you say you want to change but you constantly do the same things over and over and over again...when will you learn...when will I learn...

3 days...
Back to work
September 06 2005
I know there are days when I wonder very seriously if I made the right decision to come here, but then there are days like I've been having lately.
I love all our new staff. The base just seems to have taken a new breathe of life with them all here. And one fact that I really love is so many of them are musicians. So like the other morning as I was waking up, the sound of Chris on the drums and Brent on the guitar was drifting into my room. I might get tired of it eventually, but for now I love it.
Labor Day was filled with volleyball, New York pizza, fresh strawberries, climbing fences, lots of laughter, adorable babies, inflatable microphones, and so many other memories. Sunday night we all went to Olive Garden for Holly's and my birthday and laughed so hard I thought we would get kicked out. To think of all the fun we have had already just over the weekend, I can wait to see what the next two years are going to be like.
Now the rest of the weekend will be our staff conference. We will go over all the different areas of vision and commit them to prayer together again as a staff. And then Sunday night one of our leaders is throwing a formal ball for his wife's birthday. We all have to bring dates, which means we all have to pair off. Yikes! We all hate the idea, but will do it because we love Rebecca, the birthday girl.
"As for the saints who are in the land, they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight." Psalm 16:3

soul meets body
September 06 2005
I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what its like to be new
Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
where they’re far more suited than here
I cannot guess what we'll discover
Between the dirt with our palms cut like shovels
But I know our filthy hand can wash one another’s
And not one speck will remain
I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
If the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body
I do believe it’s true
That there are holes left in both of our shoes
If the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

PhuseBoxer Cell Phones Needed
September 06 2005
If you have a cell phone that is able to send photos via e-mail or media messaging and would like to be a "tester" for PhuseBox, message me or leave a remark.
Ummmmmmm. I'd like not to be arrested, plzthxverymuch.
September 06 2005
So I went to work today. No answer at the door, so I used my key to get in. The lights were off, so I turned them on. There appeared to be no one immediately around. [I have no clue who the two people working on the car in the driveway were, but they were gone by the time I next looked out the door.] The security system made it's little beepy noise it makes every time a door is opened.
It made it again.
And again.
And some more.
And started getting faster.
And then it turned into this really shrill whistly noise.
So I called my bosses' cell phone and left a long message saying, "Yeah, I came in... no one here... the house is trying to get me arrested... Guess I'll stick around and make sure no cops come by before I go home."
Then my phone says, "Surprise! You have a message from your boss. It says not to come in today."
Well yee friggin' haw.
When I went out the door, there didn't appear to be any SWAT team people ready to jump me and carry me off for interrogation, so I got in my car and came home.
But you know what this means, don't you...
SARAH HAS TIME TO DO HER HOMEWORK AND GO TO FAZOLI'S!!!
Oh, when the day is blue, I'll sit here wondering about you
September 06 2005
deep down
we are afraid of something
it may be of being alone
it may be of giving yourself to someone
it maybe the feelings that you can't control
we all have something to fear
do you know what I am afraid of?
I am afraid of letting things go
because things happen
& if I forget them
I am afraid it will start
all over again.
I am afraid to actually be happy
I always try to find bad things
I feel like it shouldnt be "this good"
I dont know how to fix this
all I can do is hope
& pray that God will do what is the best for me
what are you afraid of?
-sighs-
toodles my friends.

September 06 2005
Three day weekends make you not want to go back to school, but they're great because it's one less Monday to deal with... one less geology class and one less math class...
So, I have a theory that college makes you hungry. Like why am I already ready to eat more? It's 3:30! One of the great myseteries of life...
So in Theatre Appreciation we are doing a musical project, and I am doing Beauty and the Beast. Yay! That was what I wanted to do, well, I wanted to do Phantom of the Opera, but that wasn't one of the choices, so this was the next best thing!
UMM was actually boring today... I think its because the Internet, as cool and awesome as it is, is not all that exciting to learn about. At least not for me. English was good once again. I would highly recommend Dr. Thierren; she rocks!
I got my parking pass today. It's so nice that I can leave campus now whenever I'm finished instead of waiting in my mom's office for her to finish work. I'm so thankful I had to do that for a week of school.
I thought of one word to sum up all the many things I want to be when I grow up: storyteller.
Hmmm... now that I have run out of things to say, I think I may go eat some Pringles...
*EDIT* I can't believe I forgot this earlier...

people upset me...
September 06 2005
I'm sorry, but when you are just plain outright being mean and they realize it and they don't have a problem w/ it... ok like today someone, actually someones were doing something, and last year we learned about being a ten in band from scott lang, well these people were like oh I'm being a ten by doing this, and I just felt like screaming, "ok you think your being a ten? well how would you feel if this happened to you?" but of coarse I didn't b/c i bit my tounge, and I think that the people that did this should apoligize b/c no one diserves that, and that if you did apoligize then you would be a 11 in my eyes, and you know who you are, and then some of you are thinking what the heck? but only some people will get this, but I think they really need to know.
huh?
September 06 2005
You know I have been thinking a lot lately. I am such a hopeless romantic! I love the thought of being in love, having someone who actually cares how your day went, and just spending every moment thinking about that person. I think that I am ready for all of that, but I guess I am not. I know that God knows exactly when that will happen to me, but I lose faith. Lately I have been doubting that he will ever let me experience that kind of love, a mutual love not just one sided, but equal. I realized that the only person that will be able to give me that unconditional love his him. Gosh it is crazy how I get so overwhelmed with my life. I want to be happy with my life and my choices, but I always ask "What if?" I really need to just give it all to god, and stop asking questions because I need to have full trust in him, and he will do something TOTALLY amazing i know. It is just that whole issue of letting go, and trusting him.
I also think that the main reason I want to get married id because I have grown up so fast for someone my age, and what is next? I have a good job, I am about to graduate well in a few years, and the next step is what?
Please if you would pray for me

art school....
September 06 2005
art school is so much fun. it is not real school at all. not saying it's not difficult... just in it's own way. it's fun difficult. i am so thankful for getting to come to school and get to do what i love all the time. ... and that it is considered work.
getting to see everyone sprawled out all over campus working on artwork of various kinds is really beautiful and inspiring.
yippeee for art school.

The Homefront
September 06 2005
Mi amigo Stanton came by last night and told me they think my brother broke his leg horsing around yesterday, so that's not so good. Tried to called Shaun, but his phone is wigging out and couldn't get through. Hopefully I'll hear from him today sometime. I know it's just a broken leg, but he was supposed to be working a bunch this week, and now won't be able to...plus, all his performing and preaching and stuff; he'd have to suspend all that for a while I guess. Or it will be more difficult at least. I dunno. We'll see.
Better news...I learned to play more Lifehouse yesterday...as well as the theme song from Last of the Mohicans...mwahahaa (evil laugh).
Today I have Psych. class and need to read a book for Thursday; gonna hit up the library before and after--I can't really study at home. Too many distractions...tv, xbox, internet! Oh, and food. And sleep. Anyway. Got to go.
Peace, Love, and Chickengrease. Love, Heath.

In my very first post ever I managed to randomly comment on the incorrect spelling of a band name in my niece's boyfriend's profile. No, I did not know that that was who it was, just was looking at random profiles on the welcome screen after I joined and ended up on his. So then my niece leaves a remark for me and freaks me out, since she knows my name... :) I feel kinda stupid, but it's also funny in a freaky way. The randomness of life...

I think there should be a support group for people like me who get doped into creating absolutely every kind of weblog out there... even if I don't use it. Haha!
Hope y'all find my profile photo humorous... because I know I do! lol Sometimes I can go overboard with Photoshop and spend a few hours playing around instead of doing homework. I need FOCUS!
Well... yeah... I've gotta go to sleep... because... well... I just do. It's almost four o'clock and I've gotta wake up in three hours.

NEW SITE

Here is kind of what my New site will look like when I'm done (refer to prevous post). The red words are links, and I'm not done with my pictures or my posts (middle section) I also am redoing the pictures so that you don't see my friends, instead you see pictures of me, and then pictures of my friends (not links to their sites) I built this site from the ground up, I didn't take this page and say "change this and move this here" I just like the layout of Phusebox so I used a lot of it's design...

September 05 2005
Wow... Writing a website is difficult, especailly trying to make it sync with this one so that I can put it as my phusebox page.
If I do it right, there should be the same links and everything as in everybody else's site but it will be totally designed by me.
Though it will end up looking similar to this site it was not easily done.
I bee-bop the Jive Yo!!!

always late.
September 05 2005
I'm always late.
and by always,
I mean always.
I'm late for class.
late for work.
late to dates.
If you ever go out with me, assume I'll be AT LEAST 10 minutes late.
no joke.
and when it comes to ryan smith.
I'm two days late.
And I can't figure out what to say.
I said I didn't want a relationship...
so he found one.
But I do.
I just didn't want to make him feel weird.
eeep.
I really really like this boy, and I can see us being together...
but I have to control my mouth.
I have to stop lying.
sometimes I say things, and I don't even know why.
like I hear myself saying it and I think "why would you say that? that's not even remotely true."
to steal a line from garden state.
oh well.
maybe we'll figure it out.
dump the ho'.
haha, ruby at work, is trying to set me up with lance.
she's trying to convince him to dump his girlfriend.
i love ruby.

songs say it so much better....
"Something tells me that this is going to make sense
Something tells me it’s going to take patience
Something tells me that this will all work out in the end..." this is the story of my life...
I'll tell you flat out
it hurts so much to think of this
so from my thoughts I will exclude
this very thing that
I hate more than everything is
the way I'm powerless
to dictate my own moods
I've thrown away
so many things that could've been much more
and I just pray
my problems go away if they're ignored
but that's not the way it works
no that's not the way it works
when I go down
I go down hard
and I take everything I've learned
and teach myself some disregard
when I go down
it hurts to hit the bottom
and of the things that got me there
I think, if only I had fought them
If and when I can
clear myself of this clouded mind
I'll watch myself settle down
into a place where
peace can search me out and find
that I'm so ready to be found
I've thrown away
the hope I had in friendships
I've thrown away
so many things that could have been much more
I've thrown away
the secret to find an end to this
and I just pray
my problems go away if they're ignored
but that's not the way it works
no that's not the way it works
Any control I thought I had just slips right through my hands
while my ever-present conscience shakes its head and reprimands me
reprimands me
then and there
I confess
I'll blame all this on my selfishness
yet you love me
and that consumes me
and I'll stand up again
and do so willingly
You give me hope, and hope it gives me life
you touch my heavy heart, and when you do you make it light
as I exhale I hear your voice
and I answer you, though I heardly make a noise
and from my lips the words I choose to say
seem pathetic, but it's fallen man's praise
because I love you
oh God, I love you
and life is now worth living
if only because of you
and when they say I'm dead and gone
it won't be further from the truth
When I go down
I life my eyes up to you
I won't look very far
cause you'll be there
with open arms
to lift me up again
to life me up again

There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song I could sing
But I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a, shoebox of photographs
With sepiatone loving
Love is the answer,
At least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? and where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing its always better when we're together
Love Through Christ!

I went home to the coast this past weekend. I felt the need to write something about it, but I can't seem to get words to sit on the screen in any way that seems truthful. This week I plan on going to work and class and then coming home and locking myself in my room.
I need some sort of sensory deprivation.
We had to wait three days before we could find out the condition of our home and whether or not our neighbors were alive. That would have been stress enough. Once we got home everything was better than expected, but it was all one big mess everywhere you looked. We were lucky and only had about 6 inches of water in our house. For the last three days my dad and I pulled out carpet, tile, sub-flooring, tack stripping, baseboards and whatever else was wet from our house. Surreal would be an understatement.
We traveled around Pascagoula as much as we could to try to see how friends were. It was strange to see everyone on the same level: the rich became poor, and the poor remained poor. My town isn't the same.It will never be the same again.
All weekend I was bombarded with sights and sounds and especially smells that made my stomach turn. I saw neighbors picking through trees to see if the clothes caught in them were theirs. I saw people digging through garbage to find food because after 5 days they were starving. I saw people sleeping in their yards with guns by their side because they had no assurance of safety. I saw people on bike wearing and carrying all they owned anymore.
I can't feel right now. But I can't feel anything but thankfulness. It's strange. I thank God for the storm, for the safety, for the community, for the bread I ate, for the man who heard his brother wasn't dead afterall, for the bed I slept in, for the smile on a random child's face.
So much is given to us, even we think so much has been taken. I learned this past weekend how wasteful we are. Not just with things but also with time. Our time is God's but we give all of it away to school or jobs or meaningless petty relationships with someone we find "neat" or "cute." My God deserves more.
He is a God of depth and we don't scratch the surface. My prayer is that my life can be a life of thankfulness and praise.
This weekend completely changed me.

Ok i've had my phusebox w/ a background and music on it for only about 24 hours and i've already got a ton of remarks/messages from people asking me how i did it or can you do it to mine. I regret to inform you my answer is that i cannot help you. I can't and won't help you for the following reasons.
1. It's complicated, you have to know a bit about HTML coding to make it work. And even if u do, its still hard to get it just right. I had MUCHO difficulty doing it myself b/c i'm not that good with HTML myself.
2. My site is COOLER than yours (with the exception of paul and chris who were the first ones to do this...so all props go to them)
3. I'm too lazy to do it for you.
so there ya go. sorry folks, unless you know a good bit about the coding of HTML, your just straight out of luck.

Hey hey hey!! I just got back from Destin which was oodles of fun!! Fighting as usual. I went to Destin for my cousin's wedding. It was my first ever wedding!! It was soooo sweet!! I want to get married on a beach!! I've been reading people's entries and its just weird how we all relate in some way. I haven't really met someone that was having the same problems I was. I feel like I can't trust people because I always get hurt. Maybe its the constant fighting in my house that has made me the way I am. Now I am quiet and have nothing to say. I use to be so outgoing and fun and wouldn't stop talking....Where did that girl go? I miss her!! I miss the loving and carefree girl!! Now I'm so self conscience about EVERYTHING!! I'm scared of getting hurt...I'm scared to get in relationships so I push guys away...If your smart keep trying!! I just don't want to be hurt...maybe you can change my fears...

I was laying in bed today working on homework and I started to read something for my english class when I decided I was kinda tired. So I took a nap. and then woke up like 4 hours later.
I got out of bed and walked into the living room, and my room mates had rearranged. it was kinda interesting, and I enjoy it more
that is all.
but then, there is more
Update: Orlando: 11:59, Murfreesboro: 10:59

I know that I promised to get online and post stuff as soon as I got up here, so I appologize for taking so long in updating everyone. I was trying to allow myself time to get acclamated to being up here before I allowed myself to get absorbed in trying to keep up with my website, but anyway, I shall do my best to post at least once a week from here on out.
The first week up here was better than I expected it to be. Turns out that my roomate is a pretty cool guy, and pretty layed back as well (kinda like me). Anyway, it seems that my classes are going to be pretty awesome. I am excited about all of my proffesors, and THAT'S saying something. I am looking forward to this year, though I do really miss you guys. I was able to come home this weekend so the first week didn't really seem as crazy as I imagine it will now, at least as far as missing people, but I am beggining to make a few friends here, so that is good. I don't think I'll ever achieve the kind of support up here that I had from you guys though. Oh, well; it's all in God's hands. Pretty awesome, huh. It's amazing how you can tell that God is working even when you're not seeing any results.
Anyway, as I said I will try to keep you guys posted on how things are up here as much as possible. Once again, I miss each and every one of you *thinks* well maybe not EVERY one of you..... just kidding! Anyway, as always I wish for ya'll to seek Christ first. That way I don't have to worry about any of ya'll making any dumb mistakes, lol.
Love In Christ,
Zach

...........................................................................................
There is no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
And no song that I could sing, but I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a shoebox of photographs with sepia tone loving
Love is the answer
At least for most of the questions in my heart
Why are we here and where do we go
And how come it's so hard -Jack Johnson
Come out upon my seas, curse missed opportunities, am I a part of the cure, or am I part of the disease -Coldplay
all i need is your love to come and fill this heart of mine my heart is a desert that has gone dry.. -Shawn M
Let's go and see the stars
The milky way or even Mars
Where it could just be ours -Lenny Kravitz
All i can say is that my life is pretty plain, i like watching the puddles gather rain - Blind Melon
its as simple as something that nobody knows..i remember when you and me ..oh we used to be.. just good friends.. - Jack J
Something inside the cards
I know is right
Don't want to live
Somebody elses life
This is what I want to be
And this is what I give to you
Because I get it free
She smiles while I do my tie -RHCP
ill sing it one last time for you, then we really have to go..you've been the only thing thats right in a lifetime. and i barely look at you but every single time i do i know well make it anywhere..-snow patrol
in a haze a stormy haze, ill be round ill be lovin you always..always..here i am and ill take my time , here i am and ill wait in line. -Coldplay

Due to popular demand by Matt, I have actually uploaded a couple photographs. In typical narcissistic practise, they both involve myself. I'll upload cool, non-narcissistic Paris scenes when I don't have to be at work in 56 minutes. Shoney's keeps botching my schedule. I've already told them that being at work before 6:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays is impossible because I have a class which ENDS at 5:45. For some reason, they think I can be in at 5:00 and 4:00 on those days, respectively. *Slams head on server's tray* I just keep telling myself that it's money, which is slightly necessary for the promotion of this dwindling social life I possess.
Please pray for my grandfather, Jim Jeskey. He needs some sort of divine intervention. I'm not going to be any more specific until the doctor's can tell us something definitively, but if you can just wish him good health, I'd be unspeakably obliged. That "punched in the stomach" feeling on Tuesday's got nothing on this.

Because Of You, I Am Afraid
September 05 2005
My fears:
Death
Being alone
Being unloved
Raw meat
Drowning
Talking to new people
Not accomplishing my goals
Being buried alive
That's all I can think of at the moment but I have some really strange fears. :-\
But anywho...things are better and I'm happy.
yay for happy!

Stress
September 05 2005
I feel mentally drained right now. I know why, but I rather not go through the woodworks of the whole fiasco at the present time and location.

Astrodome
September 05 2005
I got this email today from some people ministering inside the Astrodome. It's really long, but worth the read when you have time.
Went to the assignment desk, and the leader told us to go to the
other end of the stadium, where we could help by registering
evacuees as they came in from the buses. The floor of this old
baseball stadium (previous home of the Houston Astros) was filled
with stretchers, and there were already people trying to sleep,
after traveling all night on the bus from New Orleans. But at
this point it's an emotionally cold perspective, a look from
afar, separated from human feelings of suffering, loss and despair.
All evacuees have to register, by filling out a one-pager, and
are given a pink "hospital" wristband to wear. I signed up an
18 year old girl, who also listed her baby daughter (one year old),
and her fiancée. The form asks whether the home was damaged,
and she said quite simply, "Every home is flooded and damaged
in New Orleans." She was an extraordinarily pretty girl.
Later came a man, age 39, with his dad, age 79. Just the two of
them had been living together in the Big Easy before the big
flood. He recounted that he had to swim a few miles to safety;
because the water was 10 ft deep in places (we saw pictures on TV
of flood levels up to the eaves of houses). The form asked
whether medical assistance was required. The old man said, yes,
he felt his body was infected by the "bad" water. Then added
he was a diabetic, and his son nodded. Then added he was on
blood pressure tablets, but had to leave his tablets when they
rushed to escape the flood. His son nodded. Then the old man
added he also had a bad heart, to which the son replied,
"I didn't know you had a bad heart!" Finally, the young man
announced that the worst of the swim was the bodies he
encountered in the water!
Another family I signed up had 6 children, ranging from 26 years
to 1 year. The husband had a daughter whose name started with
"Qu", but I couldn't get it, so I asked him to spell it.
But he couldn't, and he finally asked his wife to spell it,
after lamenting to himself, "That's terrible, when a man can't
spell his own daughter's name."
One of the frustrations is when an evacuee needs to know
something, and we volunteers don't know the answer.
Several evacuees had asked me where the showers were, but I
couldn't find anyone who knew. Finally I asked around
until I found them. Then I located a large pink poster sheet,
wrote the directions on it, and taped it above the main entrance.
Then I walked around and told all the volunteers, so they
could pass the info along if asked.
A volunteer asked me if I could take a very short man to the
men's bathroom. While I was processing this, the little
man explained that he was mostly blind, and wouldn't be
able to find his way back if he went alone. So I was glad to take
him. When we returned, he told me he was waiting for his brother
to come back, after going out to buy some drugs from a
drugstore. He asked me where he should wait, so that his brother
would find him. I did some analysis, and told him to latch onto
a stretcher near the "Lost and Found desk", and this represented
the best chance for his brother to find him. Many questions came
from folks who feel displaced and confused, and we discovered
this was an important way to help.
The "Lost and Found" desk refers to people who have lost loved
ones, or Houston residents who were trying to locate friends
who came on the buses. There are bulletin boards that filled up
continuously throughout the day, with little notes to lost
loved ones. As well, some folks walked around the stadium holding
up placards, with names on them, hoping the names would be seen
and recognized. Seemed like shades of 911.
Sandy walked up to me, sweating and disappointed. She was a very
large lady (size 4X she told me later). She said this wasn't
at all what she expected, and did not want to stay in the
Astrodome. She was arthritic, and would have a lot of trouble
getting in and out of a low-lying stretcher. She knew one family
in Houston, and felt they would have her stay there, but she
didn't have their telephone number. I called 411 on my cell phone,
found the family, but only got a voicemail. She cried. We
walked her to a chair, then got her a coke, and went to see
about a change of clothes, because all she got out with was
what she had on. I found a 5X shirt in the men's pile of clothes
being given out (the corporate sponsorship everywhere seemed
to be terrific). And we found a VERY large pair of men's jeans.
Sandy wanted to take a shower more than anything. Red Cross
had been giving out a bag of toiletries, but they were all gone.
I saw a family, with two youngsters, and several bags of toiletries,
and asked them if they could spare one bag for a lady who had
nothing. They graciously shared with Sandy, and I felt that
was pretty cool: one family of victims sharing with another.
I went back and tried to call Sandy's friends once again,
but still no reply. More tears. When we left the Astrodome,
we engaged another volunteer to be responsible for Sandy,
to call every hour to try to locate the friends. I felt
this was definitely the best solution.
Jessica was also very large, but I would say only about 25. She
waved me over as I walked past, and asked if I could bring her
some supper from upstairs because she couldn't walk. Second
Baptist, the largest Baptist church in Houston, stepped
up to the plate, and agreed to arrange food for the thousands of
evacuees in the Astrodome. This is where many of the churches
absolutely shine: they are practical as well as spiritual. She
had stepped on broken glass when she was escaping the flood in
New Orleans, and the foot was infected. We got her food, and she
"inhaled it." My friend got her a wheelchair, and rolled her
to the medical center.
When the nurse arrived, Jessica told him about the foot,
then leaned forward and whispered in his ear. I asked Jessica,
after the nurse was gone, whether she was diabetic. She said
"No, I have AIDS." After I wheeled her into the waiting area,
from where they would take her to the clinic, I asked how she
had escaped the flood. She said she waded for several miles
through water that was between her waist and her neck! During
that incredible wade, she said she came across six bodies!
The need at the Astrodome is very great. But we can make a
difference. Three very young girls ran up and warmly hugged my
friend as she was leaving: a neat little "thank you" at the
end of a hard day for us, but what has turned out to be a
tragedy in the lives of thousands of folks now crammed like
sardines onto the floor of a baseball stadium!

baton rouge - this is crazy
September 05 2005
my friends who i've talked to in Baton Rouge have said that life is quite different now. that's probably a huge understatement.
this really is hard to imagine: "Baton Rouge, which is about 80 miles from New Orleans, has doubled in size to almost 800,000, by most estimates."
look at lsu's campus map; they've turned it into a city that's caring for the people from further south. and they're starting classes tomorrow!
i'm still a little concerned about my roomate melissa and her family. they're from south of New Orleans in larose, la.
this article is encouraging. those are such great churches and i know that every other church in baton rouge is providing shelter and food as well. i've seen a couple of preachers on national TV from baton rouge and they've been talking openly about how people are crying out to God right now for healing, comfort, peace and hope. I'm so thankful to see the body of christ in baton rouge helping others in their greatest time of need. i mean really serving people. this is what my church from there is doing "the ring"
please pray for them as they show His great love and compassion.
they are thinking about bringing the saints games to tiger stadium now. that would be really neat. read here

You Know Where To Find Me by Matthew West
I saw your sky fall down today
Suddenly turn from blue to gray
'Til one by one the raindrops
Turned to tears upon your face
Wish there was something I could
Wish I could wease the pain from you
But I've never felt so helpless
It's like you're drowning right in front of me
And I'm reaching out but you can't see
There's something holding on to you so tight
So I guess this is all I'll say to you tonight
If you ever need me
You know where to find me
I will be waiting
Where I've always been
If you ever need me
You know where to find me
I have never left you
I'm where I've always been
Right by your side
Right by your side
If the whole wide world is on your back
If the strength you need is the strength you lack
If you're in a crowd but all alone
If you can't stay here but you can't go home
If you can't answer all the why's
'Cause you're too tired to reach that high
I want you to remember
If you ever need me
You know where to find me
I will be waiting
Where I've always been
If you ever need me
You know where to find me
I have never left you
I'm where I've always been
Right by your side
Right by your side
If the whole wide world is on your back

I want you to

If you ever need me

Where I've always been

You know where to find me
I have never left you
I'm where I've always been

Fun times. . .

Yesterday had it's down points, but overall, it was really enjoyable. Here are some pictures to illustrate my day:
Nathan properly eating with chopsticks

Me having a harder time

Mom and I went shopping afterwards. Well, I was going to Aeropostale to get a white polo shirt because I accidently turned my other one pink, lol. Well, I ended up spending like, $40 because I found a skirt and a couple of other things on sale, but I needed some dressier stuff.
Quincy wasn't doing too good when we got back because she was getting dehydrated and hadn't eaten ((which in turn made it so she wasn't getting her meds)), but Mom developed a system to help her, and it's been doing good for her so far.
So at 8:20 last night, I finally decided to go to Shannon's for her very early birthday party. Actually GOT there a little after 9:00, but it was all good. My goodness, there were SO many people there! I hadn't seem some of them since May. It rocked. Then I kept dozing off during the movie, lol. Aimee and I spent the night, and we all finally got to talk this morning.
What a happy group of people, lol.

Thank you for your prayer's, you will never know how much that meant and helped. My spirit is calmed and the peace has returned to my soul. I find it funny that God uses all means possible to get our attention. I probably shouldn't, but it does ammuse me quite a bit. Here is the thing. Because I know you want to know, we are just close like that. lol...k I am reading a series of books, I have read them before...about 5 years ago actually...and got to the third one and guess what? It deals with the situation I am going through!!! Well, I finished the book today and had so many places marked that I wanted to reread so that I could understand better. I went back and a light bulb went off in my head...over and over and over...every time I read something. God is so amazing and He suprises me constantly. It is so great!! See, I have only just begun to trust God fully, with my whole life, every part of it, and it feels absolutly fabulous. I have never been so happy!!
Anyway, back to my book. There are some verses I would like to share with you if that's alright. These came at a time in the book that the woman was trying to figure out what to do, if it was real, if the feelings she was having were coming from God. My favorite verse they said (and my new personal favorite) --Psalm 27:14 "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." --Hebrews 13:5 "I will never leave you nor forsake you." --Isaiah 43:1 "I have called you by your name, you are mine." --Psalm 115:12 "The Lord has been mindful of us; he will bless us." --Psalm 27:10 "When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take care of me."
Then she had a realization that I shared with her..."God didn't just love her; he desired her. God wanted her. He promised to never leave her or ignore her or act as if he didn't know her."...I took that to heart, and my heart overflowed..."She needed to stop running and stop ignoring the pain of abandonment and feeling of unwantedness that she had lived with all these years. God wanted her. She needed to believe that with her whole heart."...and I did, though it is still hard sometimes...feeling unwanted, even after all these years...and feeling today as if you are being rejected by someone, especially someone you care about.
The whole book has quotes of Elizabeth and Robert Browning. Their love story amazes me. They wrote each other for months, then he went to see her...they had never met before this time, only written...they had fallen in love through words, they knew each other's hearts...they fell in love all over again upon meeting and got married and raised a family. One of my favorite quotes in the book from the Brownings was this...Robert--"How you say? Let us, O my dove, Let us be unashamed of soul, As earth lies bare to heaven above! How is it under our control, To love or not be loved?" and Elizabeth's response--"And I who looked for only God, found thee! I find thee; I am safe, and strong and glad."
I have fallen in love with the Browning's correspondence. I would love to read them all. For someone to speak those words to me with that much love and passion...they would have my heart all over again. Something interesting about when the Browning's met...the first thing he did was kiss the finger's that brought them together...how romantic is that!!! Such love, such passion, such...I don't know how to explain it...
I am sorry if I bored you with my hopeless romantic ideas of life. I can't help myself sometimes. I was a happy person before, but now it is overflowing from my heart and I can't stop it...nor do I want to. I love this feeling, I don't know what it is but I love it. I trust God, whole-heartedly, and that he will provide my every need.
Thank you God for restoring the peace and calm to my soul and spirit. Continue to restore it, every-second of everyday...I am just a frail human. Help me continue to trust and have faith. I love you with every ounce of my being and can't wait until I am able to share that love with someone. I trust you to provide and I pray for my future husband...whomever he may be and wherever he may be...I love him already!!!

ps--They say the first step towards recovery is admitting you have a problem...here goes...HI, my name is Ashley (friends call me ash) and I'm a Chocoholic...there, I said it!!! Are you happy now!!! I don't feel any better...maybe it's because I haven't said the whole truth...let's try this....ok....I am a Chocoholic and I love you!!! There, much better!!! Have a GREAT day!!!!!!
and God bless-- snow on your tongue

Anywho. This song came on when I set my media player to play every song on my computer on shuffle. And I thought to myself, "LYRICS TIME!!!"
"Strangelove" by Depeche Mode
There'll be times
When my crimes
Will seem almost unforgivable
I give in to sin
Because you have to make this life liveable
But when you think I've had enough
From your sea of love
I'll take more than another riverfull
And I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile
Strangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That's how my love goes
Strangelove
Will you give it to me
Will you take the pain
I will give to you
Again and again
And will you return it
There'll be days
When I'll stray
I may appear to be
Constantly out of reach
I give in to sin
Because I like to practise what I preach
I'm not trying to say
I'll have it all my way
I'm always willing to learn
When you've got something to teach
And I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile
Pain will you return it
I'll say it again -- pain
Pain will you return it
I won't say it again
I give in
Again and again
I give in
Will you give it to me
I give in
I'll say it again
I give in
I give in
Again and again
I give in
That's how my love goes
I give in
I'll say it again
I give in
::edit::

For those of you wanting to know.... NO... I will not share how I did this. If you can figure it out then I will give you props, if not, I'm sorry.
also... is anyone having problems loading the little bouncy title text. because of the order that firefox loads my page (it loads my entire song first), and my VERY slow internet, it takes forever to load the titles. If no one else is having this problem then I will leave the music, if yall are having problems then I will take the music off for now, untill I can further tweak the site.
I bee-bop the Jive Yo!!!
my life is amazing
