Trash cans make me sad. Snails make me slow. I was not just laughing like a maniac. Toucans are cool because they can see their own nose. Don't eat toilet paper and stay in school. Say no. Have a great day and come again!

Sep. 29, 2009 - Blah

New entry time!
Wow, it has been so long! I can't say that a whole lot has happened, except this September I went to an absolutely amazing church conference in Morningstar and I've come back a changed person. If you don't want to read this whole thing, scan it and read the underlined part, Kay? =)

So, before I went to Morningstar, I was really working through some stuff in my life. I knew I needed to run after God, with all my heart, and I thought I wasn't doing a good enough job doing that. But at the AMAZING Morningstar conference I went to, I kind of changed my view.
Sure, there is nothing wrong with running after God. I wanted to run into God's open arms, and then I figured something out. I'm already there.
And now, here's what I got to do. I can't get comfortable. You wonder what I mean, right? Well, I know a lot of people who are comfortable with the way their lives are now, and that's cool, but I beg to differ. I don't want to be comfortable just piddling around, reading the Bible from time to time, and bumbling through life, waiting for things to happen. I want to keep going...
When you love a person you want to know everything about them, right? You want to know their favorite band. Their schedule. Their deepest secrets.
So, since I love God, I should be striving to know these things about Him. Hence my phrase, "Don't get Comfortable". I'm not going to get comfortable just hanging out with God. I want to know everything I can. I want to live for him.
As you can tell, I had a lot of time on my hands while I was gone and I enjoyed every minute of it. I miss Morningstar already. But I can't let people feed me everything. I have to learn about God for myself. And I love Him...Man, I love Him.
Some people may beg to differ with me. They may think I'm too radical.
Radical...Hmm...This is the word I crave to be. I absolutely want to burn for God. While I was gone, I experienced him in ways I never have before. I danced until I lost circulation in my legs-I'm still sore. I cried. God absolutely and completely took my breath away.
Do you want to be in the place where I am now? Maybe you already are. It has nothing to do with me and my "Holiness" or whatever. But if you're reading this now and you're tired of ancient religion, and you're ready to become radical in the love of God then message me. Ask me anything. You can even beg to differ with me. Just tell me what you think.
Because, it's not a matter of "Religion". God isn't religion. God is love. God is...wow, there aren't enough adjectives in the entire universe in any language to describe Him. He blows me away.

Ok, so PICTURE TIME!

This is where I randomly post photos from all sorts of places, mainly of myself becuz I am my own model-no one else will let me take pics of them without undergoing great scrutiny.

May. 13, 2009 - This title is no longer present. He left his number...

I suppose you want an explanation for the reason I haven't not posted an entry in SOO long. Yes, I know all of you have been missing me so dreadfully that it's all you can do to hold your chin high and face the polka music. (Kidding!)

But just so you know, I have not done the following.

a. Fallen into a black hole. Actually, in case you didn't know, if you got sucked into a black hole you're body parts would all separate from each other and fly simultanously..Gee, I've watched too much Discovery Channel. But hey, you learn new things every day.

b. I have not been living as a hobo on top of the white house, growing a beard to my feet and back, and doing the tango. Everyone knows that's not what Hobo's do..Hobo's carry around those little sacks tied to sticks and mooch stuff off people. I haven't been doing that either.

c. Finally, I haven't bought hunting land up in Canada. One, I do not like to hunt. Two, I cannot drive. And three...Why Canada?

So, just in case you were worried about me, I haven't done any of those things. 

Let me tell you why I HAVEN'T been online.

  • Our house is getting a facelift. Right now we're getting hardwood laid...And our walls are blue in the living room. My Dad said the blue color was making him feel feminine and that he was going to...Never Mind. Anyway, one week was spent peeling wallpaper off the walls which we got very handy at. Yes, we are the elite of wallpaper peelers. Ask me how we did it sometime. Anyway, right now I'm staying at my Grandma's house which is thoroughly enjoyable. It's right up the hill from us (Where the lake is) And it's like utopia, only better. Can you say 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, a den, a sunroom, a screened in porch, an office, a lake, a paddle boat, a plasma TV....Yes, I've forgotten to blog in the midst of this luxury.
  • I do have a facebook, but just for the number, don't faint out in the floor because I get on here just as much...Sometimes...Maybe
  • I've run out of reasons why I haven't written an entry any time soon.

    But in the midst of these pretty lame exscuses, I've written a fairly long entry.

So to make this slightly longer, here is a short tour of Utopia-Grandma's house...

THE LAKE...

Quick Tour...Here's the sunroom

Apr. 12, 2009 - Easter

Hey everyone!
First of all, congratulations for dodging all egg-laying bunnies throughout the course of this Easter Sunday.

Secondly, happy Easter.

 I had a fabulous Easter!!!!! After church which was really cool, all of my nieces and nephews came over with their parents and we had relay races, and egg tosses...etc...We also had wheelbarrow races-You know, where a person grabs the other persons legs and makes them go around like a wheelbarrow...

Me and nicole were partners during that and she took off runing while I was-of course-the wheelbarrow. I fell on my face. Then, we all did a race where we had partners and tied our legs together. Me and Nicole were partners...we fell on our face. FInally, me and Nicole were partners during the egg toss, and the egg exploded on me.

Lol, so yes, FUN FUN FUN.

I'm sure you didn't even read the last few paragraphs. Most people just skim them and comment. Lol, but that's ok.
Just comment.

Happy Easter and don't forget to remember the true meaning.

Mar. 31, 2009 - Red Envelope Day

Howdy peoples of the world!
Okey doke, so here is something neat that I'm going to do that I was alerted about on Facebook. SO if you care about poor unborn babies, consider doing it to.

Love ya'll and God bless ya,

-ash

(("Red Envelope Day" on MARCH 31st.))
There is a movement going across our nation to have a "Red Envelope Day" on MARCH 31st.
Now this is going to take a bit of work on your part, but because you value life, I think you'll be glad you took the time and effort.
For everyone in your household, go buy a RED envelope for each person (Hallmark, Stationary stores, Kinkos, at party supply stores, all have them).
On the front of an empty SEALED and stamped red envelope write:

President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW
Washington, D.C. 20500

On the back write the following message:
"This envelope represents one child who died because of an abortion. It is empty because the life that was taken is now unable to be a part of our world."
It is important that both the address and the statement be in each person's handwriting, please do not type. Together we hope to change the heart of our president and save millions of future babies."

Mar. 30, 2009 - Dogfight

OK, so what have I been up to?
Saturday, my dog, Max, and the neighbor dog, Murphy, got into an outrageous fight. It was absolutely horrible. But you'll never guess what I did!
Lol, they started fighting and I charged through a barb wire fence after them with a rotten stick, screaming like a maniac. Haha...Yes, I'm unpredictable. I was yelling at my neighbors to get a water hose, but the extension wasn't long enough so I screamed at them to grab a high-powered water gun. I mean it was crazy. Slobber was flying everywher. Max-my furry, German SHepherd, had Murphy by the neck and they were fighting to the death. When Max was little, Murphy used to beat him. so he was mad.

Anyway, so me and Nicole run into the fight, and I get knocked into the mud. Hahah, by then Max just had Murphy by the collar, so I was taking a short breather.

Then, our neighbor comes over and runs Max over with the tire of his polaris, screaming "I'M GONNA KILL YOUR DOG!" Yeah, he has anger issues. I was just sort of standing there, stupidly. The polaris broke the fight up and our neigbor, Mr. G, was yelling. THEN HE CALLED THE SHERIFF!
So now, Max has to be tied up all day. It's just horrible. Please pray.

Jan. 29, 2009 - Another funny entry

Hello guys!!!!

So, with the economy so smashed, I thought I'd share some of my hilariousness to cheer people up. *Rolls eyes* So here goes.

10 things to think about when you are stresed:

1. Frogs. Why do you think about frogs? Because frogs are fun to think about, but only green frogs.

2. Pigs with no tails. I'm not really that sure if pigs have tails or not, but if they do have tails, only think about the ones that don't.

3. Think about plaid. Why not stripes? Because PLaid is cooler-it has stripes in it.

4. The color magenta. Why? Because it's gnarly to say.

5. Flying cows. Is their a such thing as flying cows? No. No there is not.

6. Hair style magazines. Why? Because they're weird, that's why.

7. Semicolon's. Why? Because they're two punctuation marks in one! They're like siamese twins or something.

8. Siamese Twins. Why think about siamese twins? Why not?
9. Sheep. I don't really know why. I guess becuz they're hairy, and look like they have a man perm.

10. Chlorine. IDK. It's just fun to say.  

Lol so if you got through with that and didn't laugh once-

SUPRISE!!!
You're still stressed. Have a nice day/

-Ash

*Pronounces Chlorine* Ch-Chlorine. Chlori..Never mind
