Heyy!  This is Brantley's phuse box.  I didn't even know that I had one.  So, now I'm posting better tell everyone that I have one.

Love all you guys,

The holy spirit is God and the Holy Sirit lives in me……

 

The Holy Spirit is God. I have been taught my whole life
that the Holy Spirit was a part of the trinity. Therefore the Holy Spirit is
God being three in one….. Yet so many times have I dismissed that thought
because I didn’t understand…. I didn’t understand what the holy spirit really
did and how I could relate with it. Well Charles Stanley is trying to break me
of the habit of calling the Holy Spirit an it. Haha but I just did…. It seems
so natural. It seems so natural to not attach much a of a humanistic value to
the holy spirit seeing as it’s described as a spirit or a ghost. But the Bible
clearly calls it a He. So The authors of the Bible clearly thought that the
holy spirit was characterized as human or God in this case….. So here is what
this idea comes down to in my head…. If the holy spirit is God and just as much
a part of the trinity at the son and the father then I have been denying myself
and God something by storing the holy spirit away in some area and letting Jesus
and God the father take my attention…. It would almost be as silly as if I
ignored God the father and just focused on Jesus in my relationship with God.
But this brings up another question…. How in the world is a human mind supposed
to comprehend, much less have a relationship with the trinity in the entire?
But the way Charles makes it seem is that we are called as a believer in Christ
to have a relationship with the Holy Spirit because he is as much a part of the
trinity and plays just as much of a role in our walk than the father and the
son….. So here I am trying to comprehend that the Holy Spirit IS God. He is a
he. He is God in the world we live today. Here is something I think is cool.
Jesus talks about how it would be worse for him to stay here because we would
not receive the gift of the holy spirit…. So obviously Jesus knows it is better
for us to have the holy spirit living in us rather than him still being here in
person! That’s cool to think about! But do we believe that? So many times I
think how easy it would be to believe if I lived when Jesus did….. But why did
Jesus think so highly of the Holy Spirit which is living within me as I
type?!!!  So in a way, maybe I have it
better than the disciples did in the first century before they received the
Holy Spirit… I dunno. There is just something cool about thinking that the holy
spirit, being just as much God as Jesus and God the Father are, is living in me
and guiding me and teaching me! I would think that God moving within my soul
and heart teaching would have much more of an influence than Jesus would
telling me what to do from the outside…. I’m not sure… All of this said I have
come to a few conclusions. What I do know is that I have pushed trying to
comprehend the presence of the Holy Spirit out of my head for too long. God is
God whether he is the father, son, or spirit. God is the spirit and he is
living in me! That is awesome! There is power in understanding that! I do not
want to deny God his identity. Which is what I have been doing. I want to know
and love God. ALL of God. Including the most personal side of God to my soul
right now, that being the spirit which is living and moving in me! COOL!

The answer was Lucky.

With all of your advice and such, I reached (and slightly exceded) my goal of 120 different books read in the last year, plus read one twice in that time. Grand total including the children's books I read at the wonderful suggestion of Miss Kelly Dutton is 126. Woohoo, year number 2 starts now!

This message is hidden unless you highlight it.

I Like Steph Shoemaker a lot, I love Jesus and wanna be more like Him, and my friends and family are AWESOME!

Edit:  I realize you can probably see this message if you check the little "New Friend Entries" box, cuz it's probably light blue background.......cheater.

last night was fun. me, my sister and chris d. slept out in the tent last night. wow, i'm tired. we didnt sleep till 6 then i woke up at 6:30. I WANNA GO TO BED!!!!!! it was worth it though. i kinda drifted off at around 2 to alicia and chris scratching my back and i woke up to chris trying to sing twinkle twinkle little star. then we made up this song that went something like "i hate camping! i hate camping! iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit's hot and humid and cold in here. damp and dank as ali says. i really really don't wanna be outside. i wanna lay on my inside." then there was a bunch of stuff about an old hag and how chris gives such good masages. anyways, it was fun but i need to get some sleep now, so good bye

Me and Jackie went to Chris's last night and watched the new Pink Panther movie, along with some other cool people.

This is us hanging out before the movie started.

i realized that my new life has started today as i said goodbye to heather. (but she'll be back in 4 months). i'll miss her, but right now i just want to be sad for a while. Cayla turns 18 today (yay!!) . and my own birthday is a few weeks away. MTSU Customs is Fri/Sat, and i'm in a whirlwind of work, previous engagements, and little sleep. Life moves on past graduation, but yet my smile won't fade.

I shouldn't be sad for it being over, i should be glad it happened.

And i am. I'm just sad for a little while...

Look at the set my friend from my Ayu forum made for me!

YAY DROWSY! YAY SUTTON! ^^ lol

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beep!

Hi, this is Robin. Im busy kicking butt downtown or Im playing video
games in the Tower. If youre a friend, welcome! If not, the Titans will
take you down. Leave your name and number after the beep.

Beep!

Hi yall, Cyborg here! Cant answer the phone since Rob and I are in the
middle of Mortal Scream IV and Im gonna whip him at this video game!!
Leave a message in my phone jack arm and Ill call later. Booyeah, 5,000
bonus points!

Beep!

This is Raven. I do not want to be disturbed. Leave me in my solitary silence and call later.

(Trigon takes over. Ravens voice gets deep) Now worship me, you ignorant human fools!!! Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!!

Beep!

Hi, this is Speedy, the legendary archer and friend of the Titans. If
you want to reach me or Tuna Breath, were away right now. Call back
later, thanks.

Beep!

Hi, this is Aqualad. Speedy, if you call me Tuna Breath one more time, Ill sic my sharks on you.

Beep!

Hello, Robin. Yes, its me again. Im still out there, waiting for you to
take action with your team. Most likely youll try to get my mask off
but end up with a black eye yourself. Do not fool around with me, Boy
of Wonder. I have my own plans.

Beep!

Ok, Slade, you asked for it!! Titans! Get the T-Car! Get the R-Bike!
Get the Batmobile!! Were going to bring Slade down once and for all-

(Cyborgs voice in the background) Rob, we dont HAVE a Batmobile. . .

(Robins voice) I snuck one out of Gotham, its ok. Anyway Slade, youd
better say your prayers because Im going to kick your ass into next
Tuesday, and then-

CLANK!!!

WHUMP!!

Beeep!!

This is the lean mean green fighting machine known as Beast Boy! Slade,
you are SO busted, big time. I hate you for driving us nuts. I hate you
for making Terra my enemy. And I HATE it when you make Robin all
hysterical. Every time you call, he starts babbling like a moron about
defeating you. So Ive hit him over the head with a frying pan.

And once he comes around, were all gonna mash you into the wall.

Beep!

Hello, this is Koriandr, princess of Tamaran, but my friends on earth
call me Starfire. Robin, is this machine on? Am I doing the right
thing? What does this little button d-

KFT!!!

KFT!!!

KEFT!!!!

Forgive me. That was the annoying sound of static in the background. I
am here right now, but shall be unavailable once I turn the machine
off. When I do, you may speak into the recording device known as the
answering machine. It is not to be confused with the washing machine,
which I found out requires soap. Please do not pour soap into this
machine or add your clothes.

Beeep!

Robin, this is Batman. Why is my Batmobile missing and why am I picking up its signal in Jump City?

Beep!

Robin, this is Speedy. You are bussssssted!!!

Beep!

Hello, this is Jinx: specialized witch perfected in spells, curses, and
troubles galore. Leave your name and address and Ill be happy to hex
you once I get back. Hee hee hee. . . oh, and if youre that blue coated
witch known as Raven, I got once word for you: (croaks) Nevermore!!

Beep!

Cyborg? Beast Boy? Can you hear me? It is I, Starfire. I have not been
able to locate Robin at this time nor have I found any clues that lead
to Slade. He is not in the Tower potatoing the couch either. Perhaps
Robin has gone to the dark black scary building with flashing lights
that you call arcade of the videos or he has gone to throw heavy balls
against pins. Is this some form of hunting?

Beep!

No Star, its called Bowling. And I found Robin. He was in Gotham City,
but now hes back. Whats that large swirling vortex doing on top of the
Tower right now? Is it from your home planet?

Beep!

Robin, its Batman. Again. Thank you for returning the Batmobile. The next time, just ask me for crying out loud.

I hope youre proving to be a mature and responsible leader for the
Titans. Make sure youre brushing your teeth twice a day and getting at
least nine hours of sleep every night. Do you have enough clean
underwear? If not, Ill have Alfred send over some extra pair-

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!!

(Beast Boys voice) Woah, Robin! I had no idea. . . (snickers) underwear. . . (laughs) Ha ha ha ha ha!!

(Robins voice) SHADDDUP!!!

Beep!

Hello, this is Brother Blood with the Hierarchy of International
Vengeance and Extermination. We are known as the HIVE but dont call us
for honey orders. I am currently planning another diabolical plan to
stop those pesky juvenile delinquents known as the Titans. Shall you
wish to assist me, leave a message and I will be thrilled to have
another minion in the crusade against the Titans. Bwhahahaha!!!

Beep!

This is Cyborg. And Brother Blood, NO WAY are we juvenile delinquents.
In fact, make sure you spank that little brat known as Gizmo a couple
dozen times until his butt is all red. That booger brain practically
destroyed my precious baby!!

Beep!!!

Hey Robin, its me, Yusuke Urameshi. You know the, butt kicking Spirit
Detective from Yu Yu Hakusho. I know you guys arent an Anime show but
you look pretty impressive to me. I wanna switch skills with you: teach
me some Kung Fu and Ill give you a taste of street fighting, all right?

Oh man, there goes another demon. Sorry.

SPIRIT GUN!!

(Explosion is heard in the background)

Beep!!

Robin, its Raven. Why is there a small black clad creature calling
himself a demon on the roof, why is he trying to skewer Beast Boy with
a sword, and HOW did he make a dragon come out of his arm like that?

Beeep!!

So Titans, how do you like my little portal that opened up into the
world of Japanese Animation? Have fun playing with the Pokemon!!
Bwhwhahahahah!! I, Jinx the witch have done it again.

(Gizmos voice) Not without me, you didnt, you pink haired twit!

(Jinx) Who you callin a twit?

Beeep!!

BB, get your butt over here into the Tower and get these little pocket
monsters off the walls! I cant stand it anymore!! No, PUT THAT DOWN!!
Arrrrgh, there goes Pikachu chewing on the wires again. Oomph! Ow!

Beep!

Hello, you have reached the Justice League of America. If you know your
partys extension, you may press it at any time. For Superman, press 1.
For Wonder Woman, press 2. For Flash, press 3. For Green Lantern, press
4. For Batman, press-

Beep!

Hello, this is the Teen Titans!! Its an emergency!! WERE OVERUN WITH POKEMON!! HEEEEEELP!

(Background noises are heard)

Pika-pika-CHU!!

Char-char-charmander!!

Beep!

Speedy, its Green Arrow. Tell the Titans not to worry about all the
Pokemon because Superman is coming over there ASAP to fix the problem.
He recommends feeding them all odanga and ramen soup and choco-kotune,
whatever that stuff is. Go look in the encyclopedia.

Also, I got a complaint from Bumblebee. She says you keep trying to
grab her butt. Dont make me send Wonder Woman out to hurt you.

Beep!

Hey, Rob? Its ok, we got someone taking down all those nasty little
monsters with weird powers. Whos the guy with the red S on his chest in
the Tower?

(Beast Boy voice) AAAAGGGH! Its Slades newest apprentice!! Slade, you
are SO dead! Im going to cram your face into the wall, Hardware Head!!

Beep!

Beast Boy, I have nothing to do with the Justice Leagues intervention,
though it is a pity that the Teen Titans are incapable of handling some
pint sized pocket monsters.

As for your threats, they most certainly are amusing. I have yet to see
you even bite my ankles, small green changeling. Heh heh heh

Click

(Beast Boys voice) Man, I hate that guy.

Disclaimers: I dont own Teen Titans, Harry Potter, or Monty Python. (Thank you, YingYang27!)

The bag of chocolate carmel chunk popcorn and the chibi Kurama keychain are MINE!

The mess that Beast Boy left in the kitchen is not my fault.

A-A-A

Beep!

Slade? This is your ex-wife, Adeline. I WANT MY MING VASE BACK! NOW!

Beep!

Titans, this is Superman. Your home is now 99 percent safe of Pokemon
trouble and most of the little pocket monsters have been sent back
through the portal to their own world. The Spirit Detective said he was
more than glad to take them back. All in days work, boys.

The reason I said 99 percent was because Beast Boy is keeping one as a
pet. Hope you all dont mind, he seemed attached to the little creature.
Up up, and away!

Beeeeep!

BB, NO WAY are we havin a Pokemon for a pet! Weve already got Silkie,
who pucks on the couch and ate the remote, so give me one good reason
why we should adopt a Pokemon or Im gonna serve it with eggs for
breakfast!

Click!

Beep!

Come on, Cy, Silkie needs a friend and Pikachu is just perfect. Hes
small and cute and really really awesome. Besides, well save money on
the electric bill.

Oh, and Robin? We just got a weird package in the mail: its a large
green box covered in question marks. Is this another wicked cool
practical joke or should I be scared?

Beeeeeeep!

Beast Boy, be scared. Dont touch the box, dont even move. Im coming back to the Tower right now.

Beeeeeep!

This is the Titans Tower, Starfire is speaking. We have gone out to
stop another creative and yet very bad criminal, this one apparently
fond of guessing and games since he sent us the riddle: How can you
divide 15 apples among 16 people?

Robin has been very intense and could not find the solution until Beast
Boy said, Make applesauce! Therefore, we are all going to the
Metropolis Applesauce Factory to find the villain. We shall be there
shortly, so please leave your message and no more riddles. Thank

Robin? Its Speedy. Can I hide out in the Tower for a few days? Wonder
Woman wants to kill me and by the look on her face and the way she
whips that lasso . . . she just might succeed.

Beep!

Speedy, its Aqualad. If you werent such a pervert, then you wouldnt be on the endangered species list.

Beep!

Robin, its me, Beast Boy. We just got some call from a woman named Mrs.
Adeline Wilson. She said if we get a ming vase back for her, shell help
us kick Slades butt.

(Pause)

What are we supposed to do, break all of his teacups!

Beep!

Robin, it is I, Starfire. Could you please explain to me the function of a rubber duck?

Beep!

Speedy, its Robin. Weve just come back from the Metropolis Applesauce
Factory, sorry it took so long. You missed a show with the Riddler. He
wanted to paint the town in apple mush up but he was-

(Cyborg interrupts) He was no match for the Teen Titans!

(Back to Robin) If you want to crash for a while, its ok but itll come
at a price. You have to help us finish up eating all the applesauce.
The workers there sent us back with a ton of that stuff in barrels so
well be eating it until it comes out of our ears and even tofu will
look good after all that applesauce.

Beep! Beep!

Click!

Hi, this is Titans Tower. Happy post Thanksgiving everyone, and I hope
you are all done eating dead birds for the time being-AHEM! You can
have some applesauce instead.

Were out right now, so please leave your name and number after the beep.

And for those of you with the holiday shopping list, Id really really REALLY like a moped for Christmas. . . .

(Robins voice) Beast Boy, knock it off!

(Scuffling is heard)

(Beast Boys voice) Ouch! Hey Rob, cut it out! Let me go! (Yells into
the answering machine) The moped, dont forget-and its got to be red! A
red moped, ok?

Beep!

This is the Teen Titans. Were away for now. Leave your name and number after the burp:

Buuuuuurp.

(Pause)

Wait, hang on a second. Let me try that again.

(Soda fizzing and gulping is heard in the background)

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup!

Hmmm . . . . still not enough! Better finish the six pack

(More gulping)

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURP!

Ah, much better!

(Ravens voice) You are SO disgusting. . . .

Beep!

Titans, someone has broken into my vault and broken the teacups. All my good teacups.

Congratulations, Robin. Ive thought of yet another way to torment you. You will rue the day you defied me.

Beep!

Robin, this is Starfire. May I ask how it is possible for Slade to
drink any liquids or beverages if he is wearing his mask? I do not
assume that he uses a straw. ...

Beep!

Hey little sister, its me, Blackfire. Didnt think youd be so bored to
death acting like a goody two shoes, fighting for justice, helping
little old ladies cross the street, and eating applesauce. (Yawns)

Anyhow, I dont want to ruffle your feathers dear Starfire, but I need
to chill for a while. The Geroki Twin Moons Defense Troops are onto me
and you wouldnt turn your own sister down, would do?

Id LOVE to see the rest of the Titans, of course . . . especially Robin
. . . mmmmmm. . love that mask of his. . . .Just let me hang out for a
little whi-

ZAP! ZAP! KFT!

Beep!

You have reached the answering machine of the Amazing Mumbo! Sorry Im
not here to entertain you, but I have yet another act for the night!
Leave your wand at the door and Ill get back to you as soon as I can.
Thank you, thank you; youve been a lovely audience!

Click! Click!

Yes, this is Jinx, the enchanting sorceress. Mumbo, can you write me a
letter of recommendation to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?
Im sick of hanging around this annoying nose picking toddler and a
brainless hairy ox.

(Gizmos voice) Who you callin a toddler?

(Mammoths voice) Ox? Duh, I dont see an ox!

Beep!

Titans, this is Joey. I saw you superheroes kick butt at the dance a
while ago. You guys are so cool! Anyhow, I found a pink wig at the Soho
Warehouse after that party a while ago. Is it yours?

Beep!

Beast Boy, you let that ugly little monster into my room. NO ONE goes
into my room. NO ONE chew through my robes. NO ONE SLEEPS IN MY BED BUT
ME!

You have until tonight to get rid of that Pokemon. . . otherwise, I will!

Beep!

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, Robbie-poo! Its me, your darling cuddly sweetheart Kitten! Meow!

That was soooooooooooooooo sweet of you to send me that adorable yellow hamster. Little Pika-poo wants to say hi:

(Pikachu talks) Pika. .. pika. .. pika-chu!

I know you really cared about me. I know you really loved me! Once Im
out of prison, Im going to be your girl forever and ever and EVER-

ZAP! ZAP! KFT!

Beeep!

(Sigh) This is Robin, leader of the Teen Titans. Were on our third
answering machine since Starfire blew up the first two of them. Guys,
Im telling you that Mr. Wayne pays for the bills here and he wont be
happy about us setting fire to the appliances.

(Beast Boy interrupts) Can he get me a moped?

Beep!

Ello, duckies! Its me, the Master of Mayhem, the British Best Bungler of them all, Mad Mod! Mwhwahahhaahah!

Since you pipsqueaks have not yet grasped the cohn-cept of my origin, I
shall be prepared to taunt you night and day with Monty Python Madness.
Cheerio and all that, Titans! Dont forget to drink your tea and eat
your biscuits. (Evil cackling)

Beep!

Um, guys, there is now a penguin standing right on top of the T.V.

(BBs voice) If it lays an egg, itll fall down right behind the screen and mess up the wires.

(Ravens voice) Whats it doing here? Where did it come from?

(BBs voice) Um. . . . Gotham City?

(Cyborgs voice) Dummy! Penguins dont come from Gotham City, they come from the zoo!

(BB) Maybe its from next door.

(Cyborg and Raven) We dont HAVE a next door! Were on a rock in the bay, dimwit!

(BB) Oh yeah. . . .

(Raven) Well its not our property or our problem. Obviously, its from the South Pole.

(Cyborg) Ya want me to build a T-Snow Blower and have us hike all the way up-

KA-BOOM!

Raven Correction: There was a penguin on top of the T.V. It just exploded.

Beep!

Hey Titans, its me, Bumblebee. Tell Speedy Im going to douse him in
honey and feed him to the sharks unless he stops asking me what color
underwear I have. I know hes there. He cant keep hiding and eating
applesauce forever. Cyborg, do me a favor and punch his lights out the
next time you see him.

the smugmug (http://www.ohsband.smugmug.com/) now has pics from the banquet, jazzfest, the guard competition, graduation, and much more!!!!  go take a look!

were packing up

i dont want to leave minnesota

its perfect up here i never knew that i would fall in love with a town called backus but i have

being on the water everyday either skiing tubing or fishing whats not to love

the best part though is that the fishing is awesome. yesterday we caught upwards of 15 northerns and there were like 4 or 5 that were over 20 inches. one that made it to the side but never got in the boat (but bent the mess out of the spinner) was at least 30 inches.  plus i can now take what i catch and make it cookable

and then there is the skiing and tubing. on any given day we get sanborn to ourselves and have a lake that is glass. skiing on water that doesnt have a single ripple in it is awesome. tubing with dad pulling is one of the most awesome things ever. its never boring and still fun when you get thrown and get your arm caught in the cover and have a 5 inch bruise from it.

 i think im going to transplant all my friends (and my church) up here so i can live a perfect life. 

the computer is going up so i guess ill talk to you all wednesday when im in the 95+ heat of wichita falls texas

i love you all

People envy you for your courage. You have a heart of gold, and
you're very brave. You're a self sacraficing human being that everyone
thinks might be too good for this world. But don't listen to 'them',
you're special. Courage is something people must learn to achieve and
earn, but it's almost as if you've been born with it. You hate to admit
somethings, but you have weaknesses and fears. People look up to you as
a leader, and even if you don't want to be a leader, just know that
there are younger kids that want to be just like you. Courage was what
the lion wanted, but he already had it, he just had to look harder.

WOW!!!!  yesterday was sooooo amazing!!!!!  It was two months and he got me a rose.  I felt like an angel! I was sooooooooooo happy!  I can't really explain how I felt inside.  You just have to believe me.

ah...

i'm so tired..but i had a blast last night.

went to a pool party..9PM, in freezing cold rain = too much fun...

didn't get home till 12:30...woo hoo

I really despise denominationalism.

I wish people would understand that it's not about who's a member of what denomintation.

It's about who's a member of the Body of Christ.

No wonder so many are turned off from Christianity.

So Im not interested. . . Why's that such a big deal? Why does everyone have to get on my case because I havent dated in a long time? Im in control of my life, and a boy will just slow me down. Even if I got a boyfriend, our relationship would be over in a matter of days because he would soon find out how much I care about success more than compassion.


But I love the outdoors; sitting under the shade of a tree with the gentle noise of a water fountain in the background and my laptop in front of me as I type out the last of my report. This time however, was just a little bit different.


I didnt see him until he was standing directly opposite of where I was silently working and immediately my breath was stolen in spite of myself. He had slightly disheveled but neat blond hair, bright blue eyes, and to complete it all a black business suit with the shirt untucked on one side. After my moment of awe, arrogance kicked in and I looked at him with uninterested expectancy.

He flashed a small smile, and my resistance waned. ::I'm sorry to bother you:: he glanced politely at my laptop and smiled a little brighter::your friend tells me you go to the university.::

To be kind, I smiled back at him, though I felt mine was miniscule compared to his handsome one. ::Yes, Im graduating with my bachelor's degree this year.::

His hand flicked to his hair to move a strand away from his eye. ::Is that a fact? Im also getting my bachelors. What major do you have?:: One hand was still loose in his pocket, his face brimming with interest and the sweet attraction that one only develops with the atmosphere of irresistible passion. Soon my laptop was pushed aside and he was sitting across from me with his jacket slung over his shoulder, both of us deep in innocent conversation but at the same time a secret yearning took place. When in God's grace did chance happen to turn my head and be swept away by the seduction of this clever guy?

I couldnt bear to say no when he asked to buy me coffee. And this time over another dose of innocent chat, our hands happened to bump while reaching for the creamer, resulting in quiet, embarrassing laughter. Unexpectedly, we were drawn to each other, touched noses, and when I felt his hand against my neck, I knew my days of independency were dashed.

Apparently this is how I am supposed to meet my dream guy.

i have to leave minnesota tomorrow morning *cries*. 

but that means ill be back in the boro really soon.  next monday at 1:35 to be exact.

bittersweet

I'm at church camp called IMPACT at Libscomb university for a week, i'll be back on Friday!!!

Some Photoshop FUN !

My name is Breanna and I live in NC. I love softball and just bein around my mom. I dont care all that much about what other people think of me. What I think of myself is all that really matters.

Ok, it has been way too long since I have been on here, and that seems to be a going trend with me and these blogging sites.  Let's give you the 20 second catch-up (i love that on fries) on my life.
1. Graduated College
2. Performed my first Wedding
3. The New Job is ROCKIN'!
4. Was a best man in a wedding.
5. Was accepted into my Master's Program at Southern Seminary
6. Bought two new cars!
7. Having a Baby!! 
8. Beat Gabe at Frisbee Golf
9. Just Kidding about the Baby
10 Went on a mission trip to Greenville, SC with my youth.

Well, that wraps that up.  I will not leave you in lingo any more.  At least once a week.
promise.
don't cry.
i'll be back.

<-[sc]->

I really shouldn't be up still... its 2... I have to run at 9.... I am sore from rafting... Mandatories start Tuesday.... Im scared... I think I am more scared this year than last year because I actually know what is coming.... I don't want to hurt... I don't want to not be able to breathe in the heat.... I don't want to run in heat advisories... Yet I am going to do it... I really have no idea why...

oh and btw I watched Shaun of the Dead tonight...hadn't seen it in about 2 years... and I still love it... so if you havn't seen it you should def check it out if you don't have a weak stomach.

I wanna crawl into a hole
With just myself and all my pain
With the blackness in my recess
Hopefully I'll go insane
Or have an excuse for why I get so sad
With no apparent cause
I'm sick of all the tears I cry
I hate to say I'm lost
Because for so long I feel just fine
But then the gloom, it comes in waves
Spreading through my heart and mind
Like shrapnel from grenades...
God sometimes I just wanna quit.

Christina is a MoFo that went back to gov school.

In remembrence...

we will miss you.

Well ladies, this is what it means when guys say the word "dude" in different tones of speech. Read carefully if you would like to better understand us as males.

"Dude!" = "Woah!"
"Dude." = "Be serious, please."

"Self realization. I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said 'I drank what?'" Chris Knight, Real Genius

Sometimes you realize that somewhere along the line you screwed up and it was a bone head mistake. And then you sit and think about how stupid you can be. I've done that a lot.

Last dollar spent: Buying a dozen cookies from Jason's Deli for Mike and his co-workers
Last cigarette: Never
Last beverage: Sweet Tea
Last movie: What Women Want on Tv today
Last phone call: Michael
Last song played: Whenever I Hear Your Name

8 have you evers.

Have you ever dated a best friend:Yes and although it ended it ended well
Have you ever skinny dipped:yep and if I could find a place I'd do so again
Have you ever kissed somebody and regretted it: unfortunately
Have you ever lost someone you loved: More than anyone should
Have you ever been dumped:yes and its not my favorite of activities
Have you ever been drunk and threw up: oh yes, I wouldn't recommend it
Have you ever run away: twice
Have you ever wanted someone u thought u couldnt have then found out they liked you: only once, a LONG story

7 states you've been to:
California, Arizona, Colorado, South Dakota, Utah, Nevada, West Virginia

6 things you've done today:
Kissed my fiance, took a shower, hugged my dog, checked my email, laughed with friends/family, prayed,

5 of your favorite things in no order:
swimming on a hot summer night, laying with my honey in the hammock, doing nice, unexpected things for people, giving or recieving hugs, getting a big pay check


4 people you can tell [almost] anything to in no order..:
Michael, Carla, Lawanna, Mom (sometimes)


3 things that make you smile:
unexpected kisses, cards etc, Remington (my dog), Michael 


2 things you want to do before you die:

Good night, everybody.

God is really doing some cool things in me!! He is really growing me into things i never thought i would be. Last week i really did have to get out of my comfort zone because i had to minister to people ranging from 1 yr. old to 70 year old women to a mental retard patient. God is really showing me what is says in the Bible, "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord" This past week me and two guys from Chattanoga led worship for these wide ranges of people. It was awesome to see those people worshiping the one true God. This week i really felt God sealing me calling in my life. I had always felt that God was calling me into ministry but i had no clue why. Well did God change that! This past week i everyday led worship for these people and absolutly enjoyed it not for the material things. But to know that I am so unworthy but that God has chosen me as sinful as I am to do that that was amazing. I really do feel like God is calling me to be a worship leader. But i really don't know how. there are so many ventures you can go with it as i think about it. But God has really been showing me some cool things these past weeks. I will be posting during the week and the weeks following. God Bless- stephen

well nelson just ruined my printer and i can no longer put pictures on my computer. what should the punishment be

So, I finally decided to get one of these things. Still not completely sure why.

Hope you guys had a good Father's Day!

And yeah, I don't really feel like writing about anything else.So bye!

Love always, Renfroe :)

The guy I'm dating is Austin. He is such an amazing guy!!! I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!

i learned to no longer hold in my anger




and know i know and knowing is half the battle G I JOOOOE

Well I am bored out of my mind right now. Who is with me ?

This girl is a really neat person... she went to New York with me and my parents this last week and it was amazing... We didn't fight at all... which is very unnormal... and we went to Dollywood... and saw Rip Van Winkle (not the real one but the wooden one in the middle of Catskill, New York (that's where my grand parents live))...

So, this weekend has been a blast. On Friday, after class, I hopped in the volvo and made my way to Chattanooga, to Cisco's house. He had invited some friends up for the Riverbend Festival. It was a good time to hang out with friends. I also got to see my sister, Emily, rock on! Click on the image above to check out the photos from the trip.

I am going to UTC. Even if my mom doesn't even have faith in me that I will be able to get scholarships, a job, and get my times in cross country down. She fucking told me I'll be going to MTSU becuase I can't get a job, I won't be able to get scholarships cause I am too stupid (basically), and that I am not fast enough to run in college. I have to bring my time down a minute and I will be running in the 19s. That is good enough in most colleges. I hate how they aren't supportive. This is why I want to leave Murfreesboro sooo bad. I am sick of my parents. Right now I hate them for never pushing me in acedemics until it is too late and telling me I am not that great of a runner. I am really pissed off at them right now.

And seriously, who wants to go to a school (MTSU) and be in athletics where you can make the team, easily, but there isn't even enough money to have Men's soccer??

hello everyone.  this weekend has been pretty awesome (and busy).   on saturday i got to play soccer with some people from my rec team.  that was lots of fun.  i went to cracker barrel and then to nate's and ben's house.  after that i went to my granna and grandaddy's house.  we went to jordyn's dance recital and then i spent the night at my grandparent's then we grilled out today in honor of father's day.  now im exhausted.  talk to yall later

ok ok so i missed a week but i was at the SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION which was AMAZING!!!!! so there are two this week.....

"When possible
we have brought terrorists to justice,
and when necessary
we have brought justice to terrorists."
- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
in her address to the Southern Baptist Convention of June 14,2006

"God always pours His grace into empty hands."
-Saint Augustine

                                            

             He is such a mystery to me.

It has been quite some time since I've made an entry. And now here I am with nothing to say.....

Well, I got a new car. My nutso dad bought a Ford Explorer from my brother, decided he didn't like it, and traded it to me for my crappy Toyota, Camry. His loss. I'm happy. I wanted a big car from the very start, but got stuck with Bella instead. Oh well. It's better now. I have a car with breaks that actually work.

Other than that....Andrew's show Thursday night was awesome. I was going to brag about him a lot, but he wouldn't stop peaking over my shoulder so he lost his bragging-girlfriend-moment.

I have to run an errand for my mom and then we're off to dinner at Andrew's parents'. Farewell.

Who likes the curveballs of life that God throws at us and what do you do with it?

 "Jesus paid much too high a price for us to pick and choose who should come..." --Casting Crowns

so. it has come to my attention that i have been much too arrogant in the past few blogs. i have come to realize that even if i am right or basing these things on my beliefs, it does not give me license to be cocky about it, as though i came up with the ideas or anything. so please forgive me for coming across so rudely. i am just very passionate about what i believe, but i have gone about it in the wrong way. i am really asking God to make me less judgemental, because that's His job, not mine. this does not, however, mean that i am apologizing for anything that i said, just apologizing for the way i said it.

so, this morning Bro. Dean's sermon was really good. He was talking about the story of Tychicus and Onesimus, which isn't really well-known, but it's just an example of what kind of servants we are supposed to be. it really encouraged me to serve in a way that is joyful, not begrudgingly.

in other news, i really can't wait for Fall Retreat. i know it's still June, but i LOOOOOOOVE Fall Retreat. like, the beach is great, but my heart lies in the mountains. nayways, yeah. life is good. 

question: do any of you feel called to be single for life? i think that God may be calling me to that. not that i'm not wanting to be patient, but i was contemplating marriage and children and all that, and i don't know that i am necessarily being called to get married. i don't even know if want children, which is nothing like anything i've grown up thinking. who knows? i'm sure as soon as i think that that's what i have to do, God will end up bringing me a husband. He's funny like that. nayways, just a thought. i am only 16, but ya know...never too early to start thinking about it. much love to all of you! --Cari 

:)

As many of you know, I play at church every Sunday morning.  Well today was a normal day and we concluded the service and I went to go put my flute in my case.  I was talking to Christi, and mom and dad were talking to another couple about cruises.  In the midst of Christi and I talking, a new lady came up to me and started telling me a story.  She told me about her daughter who played flute in high school and was involved in a car wreck.  She asked if I was going to UT Martin and I told her that I was going to UT Chattanooga.  Then she told me that her daughter was taken to Erlinger Hospital in Chattanooga, which happens to be right behind my dorm.  Her daughter ended up dying but she was going to major in Physical Therapy also.  This lady had come to our church yard sale a month or so ago and had seen my name and had heard about my flute playing and where I was going to college and what my major was.  She then told me that God had brought her to our church for her to present a gift to me in her daughters memory.  I only hope that I can find a great use for this gift.  This had really moved me because the minister had just finished saying how angels are always around us when we worship.  I had no idea how much my flute playing could impact the life of anyone else.  It's very humbling to see how God has used me in the past several months.  As I retell this story to others I can't help but cry to think of that sad story and what an impact this experience has now had on my life.     

So, last week I started fleshing out all the logistical plans on package, moving, and gettting the family from Angola to Indonesia.  I picked out flights and itineraries going both east to west, and west to east, so that I would be "ready to go" once I got the clarification from our Expat Center which direction we needed to travel.  Bet you can guess what happened .... here's the story ...

Given that schooling for Chely/Thasya is "important" it was the first thing I started working when I heard about the move.  Our first choice was Jakarta International School (JIS).  In May, we filled out and submitted the paperwork (hundreds of pages when you include transcripts). After being told in May there were no vacancies, we found an alternative school (Australian International School, AIS) ... and we started the enrollment process there too ... filled out and submitted more paperwork in May ... so ... we were progressing both AIS and JIS at the same time ... just in case, for contingency planning.  BTW, had to pay $150 application for each of the girls at both schools ... 4x$150 = $600 ... easy come / easy go. 

And ... we started making plans for a late August departure.

Now, late Friday, I learned that JIS has openings, subject to the girls passing entrance exams (not a guarantee but things should work out).  Here's the catch ... school starts 9-Aug ... my ETA there is 1-Sep .... looks like we have a gap.  Of course, if the girls don't get into JIS ... then they go to AIS .... nothing like uncertainty ... and BTW AIS is on a Jan-Dec school year so they would likely be in their current grades another 4 months ....

So, on Friday out went a flurry of emails.  I need to see if I can get approval to send the family out a month early.  If I get approval then we have just compressed our preparation time from 10 weeks to 6 weeks.  Yikes !!!! so much to do.

If I can't get the early departure approval, I'm not sure what I will do as I cannot leave Angola before 19-August.

Worse part is, if Decy and the girls leave early, then I will be here alone for 4 weeks (which I can handle), but then I will have to work with packers (who don't speak english) by myself.  Packing is scheduled for 21-22 August; as I was hoping to enjoy the weekend of 19-20 Aug with my friends, then begin the final push to move.

Ciao ciao

so i guess im a nerd... does band nerd count?  but im more getto than preppy.  its cause i went to oakland i guess.

errr so my lovely antenna head got stolen on friday. urgh

Camp this year was all about the "choices" we make. And it really made me think.... am i making the right choices??

There was only 175 people at the camp, it was small but i think it was almost better that way. The speaker was Sean Sears, he did an amazing job. He put it right out there to us and said in the way we would understand.

Out of 175 only 15 people will still be serving God by the time they reach 30!!! That means 160 of us theres a good chance that we wont be serving God by the time we are 30!

That made me question, where am i going to be? with the 160, or am i going to be one of the 15 that keep living for God..... I hope im one if the 15.

That just somthing to think about....

Of course you know that i took pictures... so here only some of them!

an amaing skit, about a girl who is so in to God, and gets on the wrong path, but then gets on the right one.

the " LOVE" board..... HAHAHA

the " tacky america's next top model fashion show"

 

brittany. kristen. and me!

Camp also brought a friendship back. Words really can't expain. I've been through everything with her, laughing, inside jokes, half birthdays, boyfriends, tears, late night talks.... from being the bestest of friends and thinking nothing could get in between us, to going almost our whole sophomore year in silence, and at the end were still there for each other. And nobody could ever replace her!! This quote/poem basically explains it ALL....

When we first talked to each other
I knew we would always be friends.
Our friendship has kept on growing
And I'll be here for you to the end.

You listen when I have a problem
And help dry the tears from my face.
You take away my sorrow
And put happiness in its place.

We can't forget the fun we've had
Laughing 'til our faces turn blue.
Talking of things only we find funny
People think we're insane-If they only knew!

I guess this is my way of saying thanks
For catching me when I fall.
Thanks once again for being such a good friend
And being here with me through it all.

apparently i'm a goth/skater/nerd.......however i'm not that much into labels
i'd call myself a kimber

Tomorrow is My birthday! Woo Hoo! I'll be 18! Anyways. I'm going to Virginia in the morning and I have to drive until like exit 347. boo i dont wanna drive. Oh well. I hope everyone has a happy father's day and be safe you guys!

That is what it would have been like if I'd had a computer with me during my race today.  As it was, my near death dragged out over an agonizing ten miles that wasn't so much the Moon Pie 10-mile race as it was Climbing Mount Bell Buckle. 
The course was described as "rolling hills", which I thought meant gently rolling hills.  It turns out the people who wrote the course description would cheerfully use the words "rolling hills" to describe the Himalayas.  My goal before the race was to average lower than 7 minutes per mile.  I managed that feat for a grand total of zero of the miles, with my first mile being a 7:02 and all subsequent miles being slower.  I revised this goal during the race, first to averaging less than 7 and a half minutes per mile, then to not leaving my fetid corpse out on the course for the other runners to spit on as they passed.  I experienced slow, painful death for the entire second half of the race and finally finished in 1:16:35.  However, the day was not yet done.  I drank two Sun Drops and ate a sausage biscuit, a popsicle, and a chocolate chip cookie, making that by far my most unhealthy post-race meal ever, totally wiping out the previous record - a KFC bucket of pocorn chicken.  Furthermore, I finally got my Freecell win percentage up over 50%.  All in all, not a bad day.

XOxoXoOxXOxX

• my summers prettyy lame right now.


• boredom is my new best friend.


• i'm in a band now, its called "After The Fall"


• i got a car, i'ts pretty flyy

I found my dress for the party on Friday. I am so excited. It is blakc and white halter, it flares at the botton. now all i have to do is find some heals to go with it.

I love Ayu. She is so magical.

Today was a good day.  I had to get up really early cause my soccer team was having a pancake breakfast, but I took a 2 hour nap afterwards so it was ok.  The USA tied w/ Italy in their World Cup game today, which is unbelievable!  My soccer team had a party @ Cici's.  The pizza wasn't very good, but it was fun.  Oh and best of all.........JONATHAN CALLED!  He said he got my letters.  I'm relieved cause that means I got the address right.  I sent him some pictures, and the dude in charge of him had to make sure there wasn't any nudity or anything.  Some were really stupid, so that dude probably thinks Jonathan's friends are insane, lol.  Well, I better go.  God Bless!

Subject: Daddy's Poem
                 Daddy's Poem
                 Her hair was up in a ponytail,
                 Her favorite dress tied with a bow.
                 Today was Daddy's Day at school,
                 And she couldn't wait to go.

                 But her mommy tried to tell her,
                 That she probably should stay home.
                 Why the kids might not understand,
                 If she went to school alone.

                 But she was not afraid;
                 She knew just what to say.
                 What to tell her classmates
                 Of why he wasn't there today.

                 But still her mother worried,
                 For her to face this day alone.
                 And that was why once again,
                 She tried to keep her daughter home.

                 But the little girl went to school
                 Eager to tell them all.
                 About a dad she never sees
                 A dad who never calls.

                 There were daddies along the wall in back,
                 For everyone to meet.



                 Children squirming impatiently,
                 anxious in their seats

                 One by one the teacher called
                 A student from the class.
                 To introduce their daddy,
                 As seconds slowly passed.

                 At last the teacher called her name,
                 Every child turned to stare.
                 Each of them was searching,
                 A man who wasn't there.

                 "Where's her daddy at?"
                 She heard a boy call out.
                 "She probably doesn't have one,"
                 Another student dared to shout.

                 And from somewhere near the back,
                 she heard a daddy say,
                 "Looks like another deadbeat dad,
                 Too busy to waste his day."

                 The words did not offend her,
                 as she smiled up at her Mom.
                 And looked back at her teacher,
                 Who told her to go on.

                 And with hands behind her back,
                 Slowly she began to speak.
                 And out from the mouth of a child,
                 Came words incredibly unique.

                 "My Daddy couldn't be here,
                 Because he lives so far! away.
                 But I know he wishes he could be,
                 Since this is such a sp ecial day.

                 And though you cannot meet him,
                 I wanted you to know.
                 All about my daddy,
                 And how much he loves me so.

                 He loved to tell me stories
                 He taught me to ride my bike.
                 He surprised me with pink roses,
                 And taught me to fly a kite.

                 We used to share fudge sundaes,
                 And ice cream in a cone.



                 And though you cannot see him.
                 I'm not standing here alone.

                 "Cause my daddy's always with me,
                 even though we are apart
                 I know because he told me,
                 he'll forever be in my heart"

                 With that, her little hand reached up,
                 And lay across her chest.
                 Feeling her own heartbeat,
                 Beneath her favorite dress.

                 And from somewhere here

                 in the crowd of dads,
                 Her mother stood in tears.
                 Proudly watching her daughter,
                 Who was wise beyond her years.

                 For she stood up for the love
                 Of a man not in her life.
                 Doing what was best for her,
                 Doing what was right.

                 And when she dropped her hand back down,

                 Staring straight into the crowd.
                 She finished with a voice so soft,
                 But its message clear and loud.

                 "I love my daddy very much;
                 He's my shining star.
                 And if he could, he'd be here,
                 But heaven is just too far.

                 You see he was a policeman
                 and died just this past year
                 when airplanes hit the towers
                 And taught Americans to fear.

                 But sometimes when I close my eyes,
                 It's like he never went away."
                 And then she closed her eyes,
                 and saw him there that day.

                 And to her mother's amazement,
                 She witnessed with surprise.
                 A room full of daddies and children,
                 All starting to close their eyes.

                 Who knows what they saw before them,
                 Who knows what they felt inside.



                 Perhaps for merely a second,
                 They saw him at her side.

                 "I know you're with me Daddy,"
                 To the silence she called out.
                 And what happened next made believers,
                 Of those once filled with doubt.

                 Not one in that room could explain i! t,
                 For each of their eyes had been closed.
                 But there on the desk beside her,
                 Was a fragrant long-stemmed pink rose.

                 And a child was blessed, if only for a moment,
                 by the love of her shining star.
                 And given the gift of believing,
                 That heaven is never too far.

                 They say it takes a minute to find a special
                 person, an hour to appreciate them,
                 a day to love them, but then an entire
                 Life to forget them.

Now when you call me, I might actually have my phone on.

And I have text messages.

So hit me up!

And message me here on phusebox if you want my numba...

We have a puppy!!! I'm so excited! I got back from my trip to youth camp and NY, and I found out that dad got Joshua and Jonathan a little chocolate lab for their birthday! She's so cute! I don't know how old she is, but she is adorable. I picked her up and recieved a whole bunch of kisses all over my face, and whoah baby! does she have puppy breath! haha. Anyway...my trips were good. I had a lot of fun on them...yesterday I went to Dollywood. That was a lot of fun. umm...I really don't want to go into detail about my trips, so I'll just say that I had fun and leave it at that. I'm glad to be home though. Jonathan came in my room at 8 this morning and asked me to play nintendo with him. I declined the offer, and he came in an hour later with Faith (the puppy) and left her on my bed until I got up. ::sigh:: little brothers. lol. Well...I'll see ya'll tomorrow. 

Well...

Cameron,Anna,Aaron,"Will", and I decided to go on a lovely date to the movie theatre to see "Nacho Libre" and following the thrilling film we jaywalked our way over to the well-known Camino Real located on cason lane.

In any case...although the company was well kept the service was repulsive.

The man made me eat cow.

Now I'll have you know, I have no issue with beef and I generally like it when it is not being shoved in my face by a cow-lover simply because I forgot to request a cheese enchilada after which my comply to change the order was met with a simple,"It's already made."

Fine. I could deal with that.

But then, the man simply ignored the empty cups belonging to my peers (who were desperately trying to get his attention by sipping their straws in an annoying fashion as to signal that their red plastic pottery that was supposed to be filled with the sweet delights of liquid...were infact empty) so therefore his tip consisted of various pennies with various dates in the shape of a smiley face.

Thank you and Goodnight.

I added some pictures we took at the Chattanooga Aquarium last time we were up at Mimi's. I like the pictures entitled 'Down the Escalator' and 'Jellyfish', as seen below:

and

Haha, I think my shoes are sexy.

here i am again all alone with nothing to do so yea im bored if some one wants to do something thats cool just ask

I just thought everyone should know that the Gap is having an awesome sale today. I text messaged several of y'all already but I thought I would inform anyone else who might be interested. They're temporarily closing for the next week because they're moving to a bigger location! They're going to be where the Sound Shop was at. Don't worry Garrett, the Sound Shop is still around between Dillard's and Spencer's. So yay for the changes in the mall!

You represent the "Crazy Teenager" part of the team. You enjoy boarding, hanging out with your freinds, and stuff like that. You are nearly invinceable.

Parvati

You are exotic and are proud to show your heritage. Wear something that is related to your heritage and you will feel comfortable and feel like your at home. Like Jasmine you are also exotic.

BROOKLYN - Definitely the one to lead any pack, you're not afraid to step up for what you believe in. Though sometimes, you get carried away and it becomes more about your ego than your principle. Be sure to pick your battles carefully. You have a lot of potential, seeing as how you have a very strong mind and are not willing to back down easily. Maybe you could become a politician and make a difference! heh heh...

everyone sees you as a girl who care about everything and still looks pretty..good job!

The seam now looks worse than it did before.  If you ever feel the urge to buy new carpet, don't get it from Lowe's.  Their subcontractors leave MUCH to be desired.  To add insult to injury, an hour before the guy was supposed to show up yesterday, he called and asked if any time on Monday would be good.  I informed him in an ever so slightly irritated voice that, seeing as all of the furniture from my living room was currently in my kitchen, our shcheduled time would be fine, thanks.

I'm just a bit peeved about the whole situation.

well im house sitting for the next week...fun fun....no it really is.

just imagine....a big house all to yourself, internet, 500 freakin chanels to surf, a huge fenced in backyard, free food, and getting paid 100 flippin dollars to make sure a dog is fed, and loved.

how sweet is this!!!?

got a hair cut :]

you like?

I need opinions.

Oh with the love and the tears
Comes the pain and the hurt
That natural feeling that's
Nothing but work
Oh you think you've got it
Held in your grasp
For one second it's gone
And then comes a gasp
You're hurt and you're hung
Just gasping for air
You want them to know
That you still really care
But it's not really over, was just a moment that passed
Cherish each one, my friend, it could be your last

For you don't ever know
When it could be the end
She could say that "We're over"
And then never be one again
I'm just trying to help
You must understand
I've been there before
And it hurt though I'm man
I've tried and I've tried
to get over it, I can't
She's an angel at heart,
And I wounded the wing
But I won the girl back, A second chance!
And now sing!

}{The Cheez Stands ALoNE}{ this message was brought to you by.. oh who cares

hey everybody! man m-fuge was awesome God really did show up in a mighty way. We talked the whole week on "Godstory" and looking at influencial people in the bible and their "GODSTORY" In worship for 3 night we talked about the life of Peter. so yea to the good stuff. God was really working at our ministry sites and i was able to lead worship with some guys from dallas bay (soddy daisy, tn) and that was cool and all. but God was so cool we went to this homless shelter and were there for about 25-30 minutes because of miscomunication but there was this kid there named paul and he was about 1 or 2 if that and he was with our leader but i got him for awhile after that and he was literally latching on me. It was so cool. God really did give me so awesome friends from the week and its cool because all the church were around from the same area minus 2. There were some from bowling green ky, franklin tn, us (theboro tn), and soddy daisy tn, so that was cool that we were all close together and then we has 1 group from wyoming (20 hours on a bus) i have to give them props because i would have probably shot myself if i was on a bus for 20 hrs and then 2 from mississippi. But yea God blessed me with a great CREATIVE group and that was great. i was sort of worried since i was one the oldest on the trip they would all be younger but there were a lot of people my age so that was awesome. so yea! i have to end this post with the only camp thing to do. so m-fugers what do i want to do???? AND then what do i want to do????

BE STRONG AND COURAGOUS and RUN!!!!!!!!

This is a scripture God put in my heart this week and it goes like this.

"Not to us O Lord, Not to us but to your name be the glory because of your love and faithfulness."

Have an awesome day!

Stephen

I have to work til 7pm today but if you wanna hang out after that, call me or leave me a comment.

"Love is what I do."- The Wedding Singer (a new musical comedy)

Theres a bear in living my house, eating all my food! How do I get him to move out!?

-You don't. Come to terms with the bear and then ask him about some compensation. If that doesn't work, creat a honey trail to the back yard. When he is seduced by the trail and goes outside, lock all the doors and put large furniture and appliances up against all the windows. Don't worry about the upstairs: the gutter drains are not strong enough to sustain his weight, and he won't climb the house.

My big sister has it stuck in her head that shes God, and I can't pursuade her otherwise. What do I do?-

-Kill her, decapitate her, and steak the head near the town commons for the villagers to see as a strong, set example. Remember to burn the remaining body in a pit of hot ashes and cinders made from a cedar tree, otherwise the Redman will haunt you for all eternity, for you shedded the blood of your kin, and though it was for a noble cause, it is still a cause for vendetta.

Theres a banana in m.. uh.. yeah..-

-Go away, you sick S.O.B.

My best friend just went behind my back and had sex with my girlfriend. What do I do?-

- Go down to Southeastern Tires in Murfreesboro, TN. Purchase 4 brand new michelin heavy dudy tires. They are expensive, in these times of economic despuit but they are the best.

.. But that still doesn't help my issue.

-Shutup. I don't care

I just aquired an Atari and I don't have an RFU adaptor, where can I get them?-

-Radioshack still carries standard issue RFU adaptors for vintage game consoles. They work with both UHF and VHF connections and has a 75 OHM input. However, you are still a loser for buying it in the 1s place.

It burns when I pee..-

- Yeah I know, you slept with your best friend's girlfriend. Now you got the clap and God knows what else, and he has a brand new set of tires.

Looky what I made!

Do you know what I love about our God? He's unpredictable. We never know what His next move is going to be. Despite our struggle to understand why He allows things to happen that hurt us, we all know full well that He is intricately weaving the lines of our lives in and out, until we have a beautiful God written story. The only thing we can do is trust. God loves us, and he would never allow something to happen to us unless it was for own good.

so its 2 am & i dont have the desire or ability to go to sleep.  its bad when i dont sleep.  i brood & worry when i cant sleep.  & that is not much fun.

so ive had a really good time up here & i dont want to leave.  ive learned new things, like how to filet a fish, for example.  how many of you can filet a fish?  not many i bet.  ive also discovered that my 11 year old sister is half an inch shorter than me.  ok so im short, but im 7 years older & thats just not right.  it kind of crushed my spirits for about 5 minutes.  but yeah.  i cant wait to get back & see my friends tho.  i miss y'all like mad. 

much love to all.
