My new post

2012-01-08T16:13:00.000-08:00

It has been a while since I wrote on here. The most significant thing that has happened is the birth of my son, Peter. Samantha and I are really enjoying being parents. Peter is also a wonderful child. Also, this past week I started a new job. There is a lot to learn about the job, but it is a lot better than my job at the warehouse.

SCHOOL IS OVER

2011-05-15T13:54:00.001-07:00

Weird Bugs

2011-03-10T17:00:00.001-08:00

The power pole near by is covered in these little bugs. I think it is really strange. Also interesting, but not shown, is that this pole was installed the year I was born. Now that is exciting!

Mya in her favorite place to hang out.

A CAT

2011-01-25T20:28:00.000-08:00

School has started once again! The good news is that this is quite possibly the last time school will start for me. I am quite happy about that. I am also happy because Samantha and I will be having a child in July. I also would like to find a job.

ONE SEMESTER REMAINS

2010-12-21T07:48:00.000-08:00

2010-12-11T17:21:00.000-08:00

My Newest Post

2010-07-25T11:31:00.000-07:00

I got married on June 17, 2010 to Samantha. I am very happy about that. As far as I am concerned the Summer is over. As you probably can see I still have to go to school. It is nice to know that this should be my last two semesters of school until they give me one of those degrees.

School Still Isn't Over

2009-09-01T19:21:00.000-07:00

That is right, school STILL is not over; however, I will be getting married next summer!!!

i have not posted in quite some time but i am right now. i just thought i would say hi. nothing much is going on right now. it is fathers day. i might go to the shopping mall here i a while and i also need to purchase a fish to put in my mothers little water decoration fountain thing to surprise her when she gets home. I guess that is all for now. adios amigos

2006-04-18T17:52:00.000-07:00

Howdy, school really is amost over and i am quite happy about that. my birthday was on easter and that was really quite grand. I am going to be the summer intern at church this summer and that is lovely. im thinking i will probably be the jr. high interm also but that is not for sure yet. I think that spanish is a bit stupid. at least the class is stupid. I think i will be selling my bicycle too. so you probably should buy it from me. For my birthday i received a new cam. It really is pretty nice. The Easter Rabbit also brought me a new cam that is also pretty nice. I really think i am a bit tired of school. I will probably live though. For my birthday i also got a grand fish that is named Shark Bait ooooohaha. it is spelled something like that. im pretty sure that it is the best fish in the world. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm i guess that that is all for this lovely post. bye bye, Ryan

I will email you jim

2006-03-15T14:13:00.000-08:00

hello, im in the library typing this and that is nice. i just ate lunch and that was nice too. I just checked my mail and i recieved a pay check and i think i will almost be able to buy an apachi helicopter now. I got to go home this weekend and that was rather nice. i guess it is a bummer in someways for but in the end i was quite happy about it. Im really looking foreward to school ending. im not sure what im going to do next year. im now thinking perhaps unr or tmcc but it would be fun to go to montana bible college too but i doubt that that will happen. im thinking unr and get this world civilizations credits there --i hope they have such a class--- and take some other classes and all that good stuff and then the following year come back here but i really don't know at all. i think i need to pray about it. right now im feeling quite tired of school and ready for it to end. i seem to lack motivation to try hard and that doesnt work out well but i got throught high school with that approach and it worked out im just not sure how pleasing that it is to God. Summer break will be quite lovely though. I guess i have to get a job and that is no good but then i can make money or something like that and maybe i won't spend itall and that would be good. Ok, i guess thatthat is all that i will type now, have a good day, Ryan

howdy, i just had spring break. that was rather nice. it is a bummer to be back at school but it isn't too bad. im looking foreward to summer. i may not be comming back to simpson this next year and instead stay in reno and maybe work and go to school or something like that. im not really sure. i still want to do some kind of youth ministry in my life though and i think that it is important that i graduate from college. Well, in other news in the past week of spring break my family of cams increased by four that's right four. there are two little guys and then actually another little guy and one that is a bit bigger. my favorite is defiently Camalot #.5. Yeah life is sometimes confusing but God sure is providential and he is defiently no fool. He is perfect and he loves us and i think that matters a lot. Take care, ryan

Where are you Jim!!

2006-02-05T10:10:00.000-08:00

Howdy, school is going nice. I like my classes for the most part. I am thinking that i am going to be taking next year off. Pray that i can get a full time job at rei and that i get this youth job at sonrise church. Im going to be going to church here shortly and that is nice. i am going to try and get there just on time so i don't have to stand around. well, i'll be comming home in less than two weeks. that is nice for me. all right that seems to be all. bye bye, ryan

Hi Jim

2006-01-14T22:15:00.000-08:00

Howdy, aparently i'm not so good at making friends. That is ok though. It is a bit different only eating two meals a day too because i like to eat food. ahh that lovely eph three twenty verse is nice around now. it is that one about praising God because he'll do immeasurably more than we can even ask or imagine. I think i see how things are and i ask God for things but He will work in a way that is exceedingly greater than what i have asked for. That is good. Ok, bye bye

2005-12-19T16:52:00.000-08:00

shalom, so here is my lovely new post. School ended today. that is nice i guess. i am sorta scared about going to simpson next semester. i'm not sure how i will get the big dollars i need after this semester but i guess God will give it to me or something. i also sorta am afraid about the getting to know people thing but i'd like to trust that God will help me with that. Christmas is comming up here pretty soon. I have no idea what i am going to get except for most everything i think that it will sorta bite when Christmas comes because i think that the best part about Christmas is waiting for it to come. this verse i like: ah i don't feel like going and getting my Bible. i'll put it on here one of these days. ive gone rock climbing some and that is nice. i did one little lead climb but it was a 5.7 that was bolted most of the was so it was not too bad and i sure didn't fall. It snowed and that was nice i like to drive around in the snow. Right now i am a bit hungry for some food. Tomorra is the last jr high thing that i will help with for a while that is a pitty i guess. the more i think about it i realize that i really am quite hungry. i really should go get that verse because it really is a high quality one. Ok, i'll go get it. Dang, i gust stepped in some cat barf on my way upstairs. Ok the verse is Philippians 2:6-11 "Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance a man, he humbled himself and becam obedient to death -- even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." alright well you all take care now.

2005-12-03T10:57:00.000-08:00

I don't really hate work so much anymore because i no longer am employed and i may not hate school here in a couple of weeks.

2005-11-02T21:12:00.000-08:00

howdy. i hate work too. I felt kinda good today thinking about being content in all circumstances. I sorta was feeling burdoned by life but now not so much. That is nice. I struggle a lot with being content in all circumstances but just thinking that this is where God has willed me to be right now makes me feel good. Ok, well, take care now. Ryan

Shalom

2005-10-05T20:26:00.000-07:00

I got my drugs tested today. It took a really long time. The other part was not too bad either if you know what i mean. I was there for like 3hours. It was basically the best time ever.

Ummm yeah

2005-09-26T15:28:00.000-07:00

So I still hate school. I got back my first math test and there is a number a lot less than one hundred at the top. I went camping last weekend for my wildness skills class that was nice and now i don't have to go to that class anymore. I may have to go to mcqueen to pick up my official transcript to send off to simpson. It looks like my plans on living in the jeep at simpson won't work out just yet. We've got that jr high thing tomorrow that will be loveely i forgot what verse is mine but i'll look it up. I am sorta thinking that i won't get that grounds keeper job so i'l'l have to look into somthing else and i'm thinking that no one steals from shopko anymore. Ok well take care now. The verse of the take is Hebrews 12:2 it is at the top of that paper if you want to read it. It is a pretty decent verse.

Ok, yeah

2005-09-19T18:38:00.000-07:00

So here is my new post. I am in college now and it sucks a lot. God has been good to me lately and that has been nice. He has shown me that he is really really faithful. I do not like Unr none the less. I believe that God has a reason for me to be there. I went to Alaska this summer and that was nice. I saw a bear. I think I am going to go to Simpson University next semester and that is really scary but i'm good with it. It is gonna cost at least a butt load though but God is rich. My sister observed today that i don't do homework. that could not be more true but i think soon i will have to make it untrue because i understand very little of what is going on in my current math class. Aaaaa it is amazing what has happened in the last many months. My life has sucked quite a bit for a while but now i see that it does not at all and that my life is cool because of Jesus. I still don't like UNR. I really for some reason enjoy just typing this stuff so i may start doing it again. It is fun and that is ok. I saw these little goats in alaska too they were nice and i stood right next to a polar bear and that i must say was nice and i ate part of an iceberg. Ok so today i went walking with my sister and just about died because my body is not well but i saw this blue jay and asked it to come sit on my fence and it actually came. I hate those worthless little birds and would love to smoke one of them with my pellet gun. Ok thanks for reading Eph. 4:20 is the verse of the day.

Hey

2005-06-07T20:45:00.000-07:00

So today I just about rolled a Jeep down a really steep hill. It was right on the edge and was quite close to going over. Thank Jesus so so so much that it didn't roll. It should have but it seriousley was by the grace of God that the Jeep did not roll.

Hey

2005-04-15T21:04:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow is my birthday. That is exciting. Not really. I drank a 64 ounce milk shake just recently today and that was not smart. I think i will die soon. School is really really oppressive. That is a lot of fun. Not really either. Bye Bye

Hi

2005-03-27T18:15:00.000-08:00

Howdy, It is Easter. It is a good day. It is really windy that is no fun. We went 'wheelin'in the hills. That was fun. I drove through some mud and a big water hole and through snow and stuff. That was fun. We did something on friday night that was fun and rather exciting. School really bites. I have like a lot of homework over break, but i guess i'll live. Oh yeah, we sold the Westy and got the NGS the new green sport. Which is a 98 Jeep Cherokee. It is fun to drive it off road. Today my brother and I were blessed by the Easter Bunny with a nice new high lift jack for it. Oh yeah, i got a hair straightener too. That is fun. My brother straightened my hair and i straightened his and my sisters. I ate candy today and icecream too. We are going on that misssion trip VBS deal. I sort of have a bad outlook on it like I really am just thinking it is going to be one of those things we do and like the Spirit doesn't seem to move or anything and we are done and had a good time but it doesn't seem like it was really something that was a blessing to God but was just a good time for us. Yeah but I think praying about it some more might be nice. My brother and I might enter our Pentecost video to the McQ film festivle but then again we are lazy with that sort of stuff so probably not. It would be cool though. Gosh, school is really hard right now. It is ok though, i'll live and graduate and life will be good and really all in all is good right now. My cat peed on my floor last weekend and that was not fun. I've gone skiing some. It has been fun. I am better than i used to be but i am still bad but that is ok. I watched real tv for the first time in a really long time today but only like twenty minutes or so. I really just don't like tv for the most part. There are some good shows though. It is sort of weird sometimes also but yeah i do have shows i like to watch but i just haven't watched them much lately. Um. It was nice out the other week. I was kinda sick and layed out in the sun and it was nice. It is not so nice today. I want it to be the kinda spring that i like where it is like warm out and calm and nice and pretty and fun and nice and good and spring like and not windy and cold and no fun. It will be good though. I think spring may have already started. That would mean that i did not jump into rock lake in the winter. I guess when we tried we got stuck and couldn't get there. Maybe next year we will do better but it doesn't really matter that much. Ok, well i guess i will go. I probably left some stuff out. Actually I know i did but that is ok. I am kinda sick of the computer right now. It is kind of stupid. No it isn't well maybe it is a lot of the time. There may be some good like spell check but that is about it. Ok, I will see you all later. BYe bye.

Hi, I don't have anything to post. I am working on homework. I got my math done sort of and now I need to edit my essay and then print it out. I went to the Super Bowl Party for church. It was good. I did ten pull ups that was nice. I ate a lot of unhealthy stuff today. Yesterday I worked at Mark's house. I moved a lot of snow. That was a good time. Then we went to the honorband concert. That was very nice. Then we went bowling. I tied my brother and that was a miracle. I think my bowling days are changed forever. Then I went to safe way and weighed in I was down like five pounds but so was alex so what was the glory in that. My blood pressure was up a bit but that is ok. This ought to be a good week. Alex just got home. I like the song on the radio. I might go edit an essay now. Fair well. Sunday school was sort of weird today if you ask me. Ok that is all.

Should I drop calculus? I am getting a C in it this semester. I failed the last test in there. I failed the final in there. I spent like two hours on the homework and couldn't get even half of it done. In general I don't get it. We'll take a nice little poll on whether I should continute in this class or not. Thanks for you help. Ryan

2005-01-25T20:13:00.000-08:00

Hey, I started my math final today. It felt ok but I bet I missed them all. Right now I could either get a 2.5 gpa or a 3.5 gpa or some where in the middle. I thinking that the 3.5 would be nice. There are some new pictures on my picture blog, but there is a good chance that you were there for some of them but, ok, well. Tomorrow is my day off. It is the fifth and sixth period finals and I don't have sixth or seventh period. I read the election chapter in Bible Doctrine the other day. It was good to actually read it. Um, we did the tuesday thing today. It went well. Some of the folks that were suposed to show up didn't. I went grocery shopping today. That was fun. Um, I guess that this is all for now. Tomorrow I should probably study for some stuff, like tests and all. Oh yeah, I went to an awful concert last night. Falling Up played and they were really good but to get to them I had to go through like four other bands that only had about one good song each and lets just say that they played more than their one good song. Falling Up was good though. Ok, bye, Ryan

Hello, I got back my calculus test today. I got an F on it. That was bad. I want to drop that class for next semester but I guess right now i will stay with it. I hat the finals season. We did the jr. high thing today. A few new kids showed up that was nice. On sunday we sledded at the Church. I got a new cd today. It is Olivia The Band. I think it is a nice cd. The sing some good songs. They are from Hawaii. I really want to stop procrastinating like I do. Like it seems that everybody does it but I see how in my life it is just stupid and it is not glorifying to God. I joke about it and alomst take pride in doing it but it is looking an awful lot like it is sin so I really hope to get that changed soon. Ok well, here is the verse I did for the jr high thing: Habakkuk 3:17-18 "Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior." Alright well, thanks for reading, bye bye, Ryan

Hello, I haven't put anything on here in a while. On friday my our youth group got back from a San Diego/ Mexico mission trip. It was quite good. In Mexico we worked at an orphanage. There we sort of painted and dug a part of a footing for a flood wall around a building. It rained all day the second day so we ended up not doing a whole lot of work and then we dug some trenches to take the water away from the building. So we really left them with more work to do in a way. So it wasn't about the work. It was more that we got to be with the kids and be friends to them. They were very open to letting us hang out with them. It was cool to be able to pray for the kids. On the way out we got to do some wheelin' with the vans through a road with a lot of water standing on it. Then we took a way home that would avoid the snow for the most part. We stayed in a motel in Fallon. Then came home the next morning. Before I got to go home Paul Mark and I went to mark's house and unloaded the Pig Wagon and returned the vans. We took a lot of time in Mark's neighborhood because the vans keept geting stuck. I thought it was not too bad of a time. I thought it was fun but I think Mark was getting a bit tired of things but I can imagine why. Well, I wrote a whole lot here. I may post again one of these days. Thanks for reading. Bye Bye

Hello, today, I went to shopko to try and return a food processor. They gave me thirty eight dollars in store credit. Then I came home and did some homework. Then I went icycle picking and just about got gored by one but I jumped out of the way just in time. Then I felt that I did not want store credit but I wanted cash. This is for the Christian club and store credit doesn't do too much good. So we went and bought a blender and tried to return that for cash. That didn't work though. So my kind mother bought the card from me and gave me the dollars. That was nice. I think Mark might want a piece of this dough though becasue it was his food processor. We had pizza in Christian club. That was rather nice. Tomorow is friday. That is always nice. The next thing is to try and return this ab rocker thing that is recalled. We'll see how that goes.

Hello, today i cut off the sleeves to this sweat shirt and now i think it is not all that exciting. It did not turn out the way i had hoped it would. I applied to Calvin Crest even though I don't plan on working there. I did some math homework. I did various other activities. I won a dollar but probably will not get the dollar. I heard the babpipe song on the radio. I did some other things. I did all of this in a different order than I listed it. Tomorrow is my sister's birthday. Isaiah 55:7 "Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon." I want to go on a vacation this weekend. There is a small chance I will be able to go on one to the Shasta area but that is not for sure. I will have to work on that some.

I ate alligator

2004-11-19T13:24:00.000-08:00

Yup, I did eat alligator.

Yup

2004-11-18T13:50:00.000-08:00

Hello, I just recently got home from school. Tonight is a concert in which the band Ever Stays Red will be playing. I don't believe I will be attending this concert. I would like to go but don't reckon I will be. For homework tonight I have physics, math, and english. I do not feel too burdoned by these assignments. Yesterday we went to Java City for Discipleship in Raleys. It was nice there. Mark shopped for a few groceries and I drove one of those electric shopping carts around for him to put the groceries in. It was nice to drive on of those. I have only spend a small amount of time on them. Romans 8:28-29 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers." Yeah. I may just have to go eat a bagle with creamcheese on it.

Ok

2004-11-12T13:20:00.000-08:00

Ok so we have these little hamburgers that you put in the microwave and then eat. I like them quite well. And today when i went to eat one i noticed that there were only four left so I thought I would have to eat them all. As i was placing them on my plate i noticed that one of them had a bottom half of the bun on the top and the bottom. I just thought that that was sort of exciting. It was weird that it did not taste like the others. I did not like it as much and that may partially be becasue it was the last one i ate and not the first one. Today seemed so much like monday. It is friday though. I'm not sure what i will be doing this weekend. The third chapter in the book of John in verse 30 tells us, "He must become greater; I must become less." 1Peter 2:24 says, "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we migh die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed." Ok, bye. click

I Went to the Dentist Today

2004-11-08T17:18:00.000-08:00

I went to the Dentist today. The lady seemed to think I had some nice teath. I think the reason my teeth don't have holes in them is becaue i chew a lot of ice. I don't know. I never thought of myself as having nice teeth but i havne't had a cavity so that is good. I got some seinor pictures taken today. That was nice. It will be interesting to see how they are. I was not too excited about the whole picture taking thing. It was good though. I don't have school on thursday. I believe i will be going sledding with some folks from christian club but you never know. Tonight is this conference deal at Grace church. It shouild be interesting. I don't remember what the theme is. I do know it is mon tues and wed and there is a dinner provided each nice so that is good to know. Well, that is about all that is going on in my life that I feel like posting on here right now. If you want to know the deep details you can ask me. There really aren't to many deep details to ask about though. Ok, thanks for reading. Bye

It is snowing

2004-11-03T14:20:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone, it is snowing out right now. I am quite happy about that. I am thinking school will be canceled tomorrow. I haven't done much lately that i would consider exciting. I don't know if i ever have. I guess i have but not recently. I got a one hundred percent on my latest calculus quiz. That was nice it will help balane out the twenty percent i will get on the one tomorrow. I am going to go to the church shortly to set up some tables and chairs. Ok, so this is all for now. Have a good day.

The New Post

2004-10-25T14:08:00.000-07:00

This is my newest post. Today I went to school. This weekend I went shopping with my mom and sister on part of the saturday section of the weekend that is. I got some new shoes that are orange and really weird, i think i like them. I might even wear them some time. On sat i got to go to the white water park at the river with my sister and stephanie for a bit and then we moved a person's stuff from one room to another and the stuff in the other room to the other. It wasn't all that exciting but i got thirty dollars for it. It was a life changing experience for me. I got to go to the sunday night service last night. IT was a good time I thought. THen i went home and did some homework and that wasn't a good time but i guess that is just how it goes. I really have already done all of my homework that is due tomorrow but i was thinking that this might be the week that i stop puttin stuff to the very end. That would involve doning my physics homework today instead of waiting till some time in the future to do it. It might involve doing part of my goverment project too. Ok, I think I will actually do some physics today. I think i will. It will be hard. I will try. Not now though. I've got all day for that kind of stuff. Colossians 2:13-14 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross.

It has been raining much lately. I have enjoyed it quite well. This seems like it is more than it has ever rained in reno all the time i have lived here. It probably isn't but it seems like it. I really like it. I wish it precipitated more here. We had the jr thing today. It was nice. We had a small camp fire and Mark was sharp with me. It was ok though. I think I will recover from the trauma it caused me. It wasn't much trauma so I will probably recover quickly or maybe I already recovered a while ago. After we ate some carrot cake. It was a fine carrot cake. I thought it was rather tasty for a carrot cake. It was probably in the top three carrot cakes I have had. John 14:18 says, "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." Yeah it does. Bye Bye, Ryan

The Freshest Post Ever

Here is my new post. I have a lot of math homework tonight. I really don't want to be doing it so I'm not. Just joking. I will do it. I have already done very much of it. School doesn't start till eleven thirty tomorrow. I believe that I will be going to ihop with some Christian Club people. That may be a nice time. I got to go to someplace around Mammoth to camp with church. It was a nice time. I didn't get to ride bicycles on saturday. I got to rock climb and that was quite nice. I really enjoyed driving down on my own. It was the longest i have gotten to drive alone. I think i liked it. I don't know what to say. I have a light in my room that doesn't work. It is this cool one that is shiny and i think i left it on too long and somehow the switch like melted or something and now it won't turn on. This happened early last week or maybe the week before. Well, this is all for now. I got to take the sat on saturday. That was a good time. Actually I'm not into the whole test taking scene so it wasn't the greatest time of my life but as you probably can see i'm still alive so... yeah.

I think this whole blogging thing is nice and I will have been doing it for a year in a few months but our question of the day is: What is the point in blogging? Everyone that reads it and leaves a comment is either uninformed(just joking) or I know who they are and could just talk to them. That was mean of me to say the uninformed part but as you can see I did not delete it so obviously I don't feel horrible about it. I am not refering to those of you who are reading this whose names I know. As a matter of a fact I am refering to the commenter who chose to remain ananymous in the comments on my previous post. I know you are not stupid. I am sure you are a great person and are an excelent speller. Lets see how you are when it comes to Chemistry though. Not really, I'm bad at that too. Well, you are surely not stupid. I'm sure you are a wonderful person. In your comments you did express an ignorance to what being a follower of Christ is about, but everyone has to start somewhere and I defiently am not that far either. I have much more to learn and I don't understand much at all. I would like to know who you are if you would like to say it but if not then I am just fine and will never think about it again. Look at the time I spent just for you. The better part of this post is just for you. I do appreciate you reading. I know I don't spell everything right. I can actually spell quite a bit better than I do on here but I know that the backspace button only has so many hits on it and I want to save those hits for when I really really need it. Ephesians 2:8-9 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast."

2004-09-30T15:31:00.000-07:00

Matthew 6:19-21
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break inand steal. But store up foryourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

It is so easy for me try and get treasures here on earth. Those things do not satisfy me for long though. I think that this is something that as long as I am here on earth I will be learning. I do know that Jesus always satisfies. He is always there. If my heart is for God then my life and person will be living for God as well and that is huge. I want to fully be for God and be living for the glory of God alone and not for myself. I want to have the humility that Jesus showed through his life.

Hey, as you probably noticed my blog doesn't play a song right now. It may someday but it doean't right now. I for the last several months have been hating that song and just haven't gotten goten around to taking it off here. Well, not much new has happened. Tomorra is the concert at Grace. It should be good. I need to write an eulegy for Beowulf and present it tomorrow if you read this and it isn't tomorrow let me know how i should dress up for it. I think i just got an idea for it it involves a lot of black. Ok, well, let me know if you want to say something to me. I went to this bible study thing with my brothere last night. It was cool and shuld be a good thing. I went shoping for mark today. If you ever aren't doing something on a tuesday after noon and have a desire to do some grocery shopping with me let me know and we'll go. It is a great ol time. I for some reason have alway eneded up with a bad shopping cart that has a bad wheel on it. I should trade it in for a different one but i haven't yet. I should. Next time i think i will.Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throuw off everything that hinders and the sin tha t so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus the author and perfectoer of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shape, and sad down at the right hand of the throune of God Hebrews 12:1-2 I like that verse. I know i spelt a lot this time wrong and for that i am sorry. Actually im not really sorry about it. i just didn't feel like backspacing to fix stuff. I guess i am sorry but if i were really sorry i would read through this and fix everything wouldn't i. Ok, well, thanks for reading and really seriousley LET US FIX OUR EYES ON JESUS!!!! I didn't use the caplock button for that. I held shift down the whole time. Yeah, it is so easy for me to look at other things and get distracted and loose focus but i really need to fix my eyes on Jesus at all times. It is so hard but God is so good to be there and lead me. Thanks for reading and keep on seeking God. With love in Christ, Ryan

Hello everyone, I recently returned from the Mt. Rose prayer hot dog cooking thing. It was a very nice time. Just my brother and I and Mark went. It got a bit nippy up there but I thought it was a cool time. We prayed for the town and what not and then as we were leaving picked up a hitch hiker. On the way home from the church my brother and I stopped at Star Bucks to see what was happening there and by chance we saw Mark there. Or maybe he told us he was going there and we took a long way to get there and we saw his car so we went in. Then we came home. And uh, here I am. On friday we went cycling with the Christian Club. It was a very nice time. We went swimming in the irigation ditch in the place where it was deep. That was nice and the water felt nice. Hannah's family was very kind and let us eat at there house. That was a nice time. Then we left for our house and then at around ten thirty or so we left for Gold Lake. And arrived at the campsite at a bit after noon at night(midnight). Then we went to sleep and in the morn ate some food and then canoed a bit and then sat around and drank a soda and then Alex and I egressed. Then we got home and i believe I finish this story at closer to the begining of this post. If you read this sit with me in the front row at the early service tomorrow morning. I purchased my first cd the other day it is Rezound. They are worship music and I like them much. Alex and I listened to the CD all the way up and back from gold lake. I haven't really gotten sick of them yet. Ok, well, if you read this then I thank you. So long.

2004-09-23T19:45:00.000-07:00

Hi there. I am posting this thing. I just wrote one bad essay on the constitution. Tomorrow we are going cycleing with the Christian Club. That should be a good time.

What does this do?

Ok well, i have to go do some clean up in the kitchen that I hear is desperatly needing some work done in it. So i may post later. Good bye.

2004-09-20T20:20:00.000-07:00

The furnace at my home has run. I like when it runs. It makes me feel good for some reason. It is like winter or at least cool weather is here and is coming but I can be warm in the home. I like it so much but there are people in this world who do not have furnace. I have to thank God for the many ways he has blessed me.

2004-09-19T21:56:00.000-07:00

Hey, I should study some math now but i decided i would take a break from all of the hard work that i have been doing this last few minutes really i haven't done much hard work but i should. This weekend went so fast. The only good part about that is that it makes the school year end faster but i would be ok if weekends were slow going. We rode bicycles today. Paul Alex Heather Timmy Lizzie and I went on the ride. I hadn't ridden that trail in much time. It was fun. I haven't ridden my bike much lately at all. I have lost any skill i ever did have. I feel awkward on my bike compared to how i used to feel on it. Tonight was the sunday night service. It was nice and good. I sat in the very front and that was a whole different expierience. I would like for it to be more challenging time. It would be good if it were awkward in some ways like if it was more put people on the spot sort of. I think it would be hard to handle and adapt to but in the end it would cause growth for the people. I don't know if that is what should be done though. I guess we just need to keep praying for it and that he will continue to lead and form the service into what he desires. Ok well i might have to learn some limit rules, what ever that is, now. Thanks for reading. Ryan---that sounds like i just thanked my self for reading. I mean to thank you, the reader, for reading.

I just got some new gloves. They are nice and soft. I am excited about them. I got them from Wal-Mart there they were on the rack and i though that i really could use some nice gloves like those and then i saw that they were two dollars so i got a pair. My brother got a pair too. I will put a picture of them on my photoblog at a later time. We had Christian Club today. That was a good time. I like it. Not so many people showed up but I think that some of them were gone for band or something. In walmart i looked at peaches but we didn't get any. I think that maybe tomorrow we will go get some and find some dough to put on them but then again we may not. Who knows. Well, if anyone wants to come check out my gloves they are welcome to just let me know and I would be glad to let you use them for a while. Here I will go find a verse to post on here. Let me go find one, I'll be right back. Ok I got one this is Jesus speakin John 10:28 "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand." I like that verse. I just found it really quick. I think it is good. We can't be snatched from God. He will hold onto us tight no matter what we go through. Ok, thanks for reading. Again, if i can pray for you please let me know. Thanks. Ryan

2004-09-14T20:30:00.000-07:00

Hey there everyone, I went to school today. It was an ok time. Christian club was good. I like Christian Club. I think that it will be a good year for the Christian Club, it will be interesting to see what God does with it. I'm supose to be reading a book right now but that is the last thing i want to do. I really do not like reading books for school. There are cool books out there but that is not what i am reading for school. I have started reading The Case For A Creator by Lee Strobel, i got the book last christmas but only in the last few weeks did i start reading it because i was supose to be reading for english. Yeah, today was the jr high thing. it was a good time. somemroe kids showed up and that was nice to see. I really am not at all excited for the school part of this year. Like i am excited for some things but i really have seinoritis and i have had it since i was a freshman and it is getting worse. i don't care about school as much as i should but ah who cares i will get throught this year and God will do stuff and i want to be there to follow God and it looks like that is going to involve going to school. Ok, this is all. Thank you all for reading and i if i can be praying for you let me know please thanks, ryan

Ecclesiastes 12-12
...Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.

My sister pointed this verse out to me. It is good.

Remember to check out the photo blog at here

Come to Christian Club tommorow. It is the cool thing to do. Everyone who is cool will be there. If you are a follower of Christ then you are cool and therefore you should go to Christian club. Unless you don't go to my school in which case you can start your own cool club. So Long, ryan

2004-09-12T16:42:00.000-07:00

You all should regualarly go to my blog on which I intend to post pictures. To go to it you can see the link on the side there or you can just conviently click on the very text you are reading right now. Well, that will be all for now.

2004-09-09T13:00:00.000-07:00

I should do some homework right now but we have to have our priorities right. So here i am blogging. Today was the first lunch time Christian Club meeting. It was exciting to see how many showed up. I don't know if i have ever seen that many come to Christian Club. I think that it will be a good year. It is not all about numbers though. I think that in other ways through the club and other things and what God has planned in general it will be a good year. In a bit i believe that paul and i will be goin to marks house to cary pavers and not stones to him. It should be good. I do have some homework to do so i will have to do that later because i don't want to do it now. I'm going to go get the mail right now. I'll be right back. I got two things from the church in the mail. I must say that the mail thing is very good. I helped Mark prepare the mailers last night at like ten or so and they both are already at my house. While i was out there i saw the Westy and she was looking pretty good. Ok, this will be my post for now. I hope you are all doing well.

2004-09-07T19:47:00.000-07:00

Hey there, this weekend i went to Joshua Fest. It was a good time. My brother and I went with Jim's church. There were quite a few grand bands to be heard. It was cool to be able to hang out with some people. I enjoyed speaking with people who i had never really spoken with. It was neat to try and meet or meat people who i didn't know. It is so hard to just start talking to people who i don't know or people whom i just sort of know. I did get to meet some cool people. I'm not sure if I will be praying tomorrom morning at starbucks or not. I guess i will just have to see. Today was the jr high thing. I don't know what is really going on with it but it will be exciting to see what God does with it this year.

2004-08-31T21:29:00.000-07:00

I have heard this song before but for the first time today I listened closely to the words and they were quite meaningfull to me so I thought I would put them on here. Alright, keep praying, me too, i don't enough but it is good. Thanks for reading, Ryan

"Take My Hand" by The Kry

I know there are times
your dreams turn to dust
you wonder as you cry
why it has to hurt so much
give Me all your sadness
someday you will know the reason why
wih a child-like heart
simply put your hope in Me

Chorus:
take My hand and walk where I lead
keep your eyes on Me alone
don't you say why were the old days' better
just because you're scared of the unknown
take My hand and walk

don't live in the past
cause yesterday's gone
wishing memories would last
you're afraid to carry on
you don't know what's comin'
but you know the one who holds tomorrow
I will be your guide
take you through the night
if you keep your eyes on Me

take My hand and walk where I lead
keep your eyes on me alone
don't you say why were the old days better
just because you're scared of the unknown
take My hand and walk where I lead
you will never be alone
faith is to be sure of what you hope for
and the evidence of things unseen
so take My hand and walk

just like a child
holding daddy's hand
don't let go of mine
you know you can't stand on your own

This picture is of me in the Westy whom we have named "Westy." It is the best thing ever made but it is not a thing it is a Westy. Oh yeah.

2004-08-30T21:53:00.000-07:00

A front shot of the Westy, and a back shot of my sister. The Westy is lovely isn't it?

2004-08-30T21:52:00.000-07:00

A shot of the Westy. Aint it beautiful. If you want you all can come and look at it.

2004-08-30T21:51:00.000-07:00

This is a pic of me in THE WESTY, it is a grand vehicle.

2004-08-29T18:12:00.000-07:00

WE HAVE A WESTY!!!

2004-08-29T00:01:00.000-07:00

Summer is over. I wrote two essays in the last two days. I did some math today also. I love doing summer homework. Not really. I still don't like my profile picture but i have been too lazy to change it. Well, well, wel, well, well, i say well, a lot. i don't like saying well. It so nice and easy to say. I think that when i speak i use the word but much. It buggs me to think about how i talk sometims. I just have to not think too much about those little things. I have a microwave in my room. i think that it is very nice. when i am in the kitchen i can run up here and heat my food. It spins the food in circles and that is fun to watch. We put some cd's in it the other day and that is really fun to watch. I see no reason for it to be hurting the microwave. I think that there will be a Bible Study with some good ol' prayer time starting on fridays (it can change if you want it to) at oh let's say 3:30 pm (that defiently can change if you want it to also) at the i'm thinking the church right now(that too can change and just might) i think tha we will go througn some of Ecclesiastes (if you come you can have some say in what we do next) i really am hoping to get some serious prayer time in this thing. I think that we'll call this bible study the hmmm, let me think, "Back to the days of old Bible study" (that defiently will change, just as soon as i think of something even cooler than that.) I would like to call it that because it would be cool to do things like the early church a bit. Now i am not all that learned on the whole early church thing so don't yell at me but i am thinking that they were into this whole Christ following thing. They took it seriousley and really sook (past tence of seek) God. so that is what it is called for atleast the next five minutes. Now this is someting sort of weird. I was watching a movie with my brother and father and i had already seen it it was frequency and i got sleepy and fell asleep but then i woke up and thought that i had just dozed off and had not missed much of the movie but then the credits came on. it was really weird it was like i lost that fourty five or so minutes of my life and with school looming so close that is one precious fourty five minutes if you know what i mean. Well, i typed a lot here. Well, a lot for me, i am not much of a typer, or maybe i am and i just don't know it, cometo think of it I am even though i hate typing. maybe i don't hate it well, enough about that i am all good with typing. If you actually read this whole thing I am impressed and would like to congratulate you. thankyou everyone, fair well.

2004-08-27T00:43:00.000-07:00

hey there, today i ate some carrot cake from seven eleven. it was quite good. i was sort of bumed that we didn't get to camp at processer but i realize that Mark has things to take care of at home. it was a good time tonight at the lake lake tahoe that is. i got wet in the water and it was very cold. i'm glad tha i got in but it still was cold. i have so much summer homework left to do. i don't think that i even understand what all i have left to do. i try not to think about it but then i think about it and it is hard. i guess i will do some of it tomorrow. it is so weird that school starts in three days. that is not a good thing. I want to really be praying for this year and that God will really use it. I feel that I am wishing away the year but i know that That is now what God wants For me to be doing. I think that this will be a hard year but a very good year and that i Will experience growth. I have no idea what God has got planned for this year and I am excited to see what he does. I really hope that I look back on the year and think "wow I had no idea that was going to happen" I have things that I want to see this year but I think that the things that God has planed are so much greater. I am excited.

2004-08-26T00:00:00.000-07:00

Hello, I currently am typing this into the compuper. Today went weird. I thought it was one and then all of a sudden it was four thirty. I went bowling and got a thirty nine. That was a rather poor score. Then I went to paul's house and we had a rather nice time well atleast i had a good time. I have been thinking about somethings lately. I am struggling a bit with accepting God's timing with things. There are things that I want now but i just have to trust that it is not the time and that God will be faithful and will be there in all times. It is God whom I need to rely on and follow. Romans 6:16-18 "Don't ou know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey - whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted. You have been set free from sin and have become slave to righeteousness." By the Grace of God I am not a slave to sin anylonger. I truely want to live my life as a slave for the Lord. That is so hard though. The world pulls me in such a different direction but that is not where I am called. Thanks for reading this. Ryan

2004-08-24T19:20:00.000-07:00

Hello, I had a grand entry for this blog that I just wrote and accidently posted about twenty times. Then I deleted it twenty times and I no longer have it. It was a grand post believe you me. But sadly for you and me too it is gone forever. I know that it said something about me moving a bunch of dirt and donicurs at Mark's house and going to the dump with Mark and his jeep had to be in fourdubuadee to pull the traileur because we filled it quite full and then his batery going dead at the dump and us push starting. And then when my brother and I got home we went to the river at mayberry park and jumped in a few times. It was quite refreshing. Well, my other post is not here and it was longer but it is summer and nobody wants to be reading. So, if i can be praying for you let me know. So long, ryan pierosn

2004-08-22T22:24:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone, I hope that you all are well. This is a song that my brother and I like much. It has good words. It is weird the other day before we both had talked about liking it I was singing it im my head and he said something about it at the sme time. It is a good song. Here are the words. It is called "Enough" by Chris Tomlin

All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough

You are my supply
My breath of life
And still more awesome than I know
You're the coming King
You are everything
And still more awesome than I know

All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough
Enough
You’re my sacrifice
Of greatest price
And still more awesome than I know
You’re the coming King
You are everything
And still more awesome than I know

More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me
More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough for me

Well, tomorrow I think that my brother and I are going to be going to mark's house to work in his yard. Alright, I guess that this will be all that I type right now. If you want you could pray for me about this: That I will be able to live for God each day. Reading the articles about the two people who were killed that worked at Rock-N-Water has made me think quite a bit. I'm so happy that I can be confident that they are now in Heaven but I struggle with this. What I am taking from it right now is that I need to live for God in the present. I have been thinking about what I want to do in the future for God with Briercrest and Outdoor Adventure Ministry and all of that stuff and if that is God's will for me then I want to be there for it but right now I need to be serving God. In my school this year I need to be there to follow God where ever he leads me. I don't want to regret the past and I defiently want to pray for the future and be prepared for it but I also want to in the current times to lead a life that is all about serving God. We defiently need to continue to be praying for all of the people at all connected with the two people from rocknwater. I have no idea what it is like to be in their situation. I don't know, this in some ways makes me question things but I think that after praying some I am ok. It isn't like I knew the people or anything, but golly, they were two followers of Christ and they just got killed. I need to remember that we live in a fallen world and that is just how it goes sometims. Praise God that he does not let everyone do what they want to do though. Really, be praying. I don't do it nearly as much as I need to but it is the real deal. You actually are talking to God and Jesus died so we could do this. Prayer is so much more important than I ever will know in this life. Thanks for reading this. Ryan

Pentecost 3. We went to a beach and brought more wood this time. Not to mention the seven gallons of white gas we also brought along. There was some cool lightinng to be seen in the distance too.

Hey, I am posting here. The other day I went to hike to rock lake with my brother and do some climbing. It ended up that at around five we got to jamison falls and set up a grand zip line over the falls and it just seemed convienent to camp there. We thought we could hike up to rock lake in the morning after hiking back to the car and droping off some of our stuff. That night we did the zip line a bit. Then we tried to eat. But we forgot some important things such as a fork or spoon and bowl. We had one pot to heat water in. Things worked out alright. We ate a bunch or freeze dried food. Today, I and my brother helped my sister and here friend Stephanie move into their dorm at unr. My brother and I were pretending to be big bad college people. I was going to tell people that I was a seinor and that alex is a junior and we were staying in a house together off campus. We just figured this out and never actually used it. The dorm was a nice dorm. I am excited for my sister about this year. This morn my brother and i went to mcq to get our orientaton done and get our schedleles. I have a class in the mobles. I am not too excited about that but it is ok. I sort of like haveing classes out there. I have had many of them in my life. I just wish that it was my last class. Well, I don't have much else to talk about. Tomorrow I will be going to the church to do some thing. Ephesians 6:7
Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men...
I so often struggle with this. It is God whom we are serving. Even when we work and it goes unnoticed that is grand because it is God who sees it and I so often forget this. So long. Thank you for reading this. I really do appreciate it. Thank you, Ryan Pierson

Here is the new post that everyone has been waiting for. Today my sister is supose to get home. I am excited about that. I haven't seen her in a while and it will be nice to see her. She my brother and I will be going camping at rock lake today. I think that it will be a fun time. We are going to try to do some rock climbing. We will set up a top rope or two on these rocks that are supose to be up there. On thursday and the day following that i will be going with my youth group to Lake Shasta for our mission type thing. I'm not sure how much mission will happen but I hope we get into the Bible and are challenged to grow in our faith there. I also want to have much fun on the lake, but if I come home and that is all I got out of it I"m not so sure that will be good. Ok, this will be all for now. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Have a great day. Ryan

Hello

Hey, I am here posting another post on this blog of mine. I really don't have much to say. I really am not looking foreward to school. I really feel in part of me that this year is going to bite. I am not to bright. Got has always been there and uses all things and here I am going on to say that the year will bite. The year will not bite. It may be hard in different ways but I am confident that God is going to be there throught the hard and the good and the bad and all of the other times that come along.
Luke 21:12-19
"But before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. This will result in your being witnesses to them. But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends,and they will put some of you to death. All men will hate you because of me. But not a hair on your head will perish. By standing firm you will gain life."
James 1:2-6
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
Romans 8:28-39
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all- how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died- more that that, who was raised to life- is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more that conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angles nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Those are some verses that let me know among other things that no matter what I may go through in the school year or anywhere any time God will work it for good. I reallly like how it says, "testing of your faith develops perseverance." I will have to stop typing this now. I hope you all have a good day. This is the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad it is.

I haven't posted much lately. That is okay with me. Here are some pictures from this summer. I hope you enjoy them. I took some of them myself. Okay, if there is some way that I can be praying for you let me know and I would be honored to be able to pray for you, who ever you are. You can send email to me at ryanlikespie@gmail.com

2004-08-02T21:00:00.000-07:00

In this picture I look like I am pondering something very important. I'm not sure what I was really pondering but I am sure that it was very important.

2004-08-02T20:55:00.000-07:00

This picture is of a lot of the campers and people who were at outpost when I was there. I took the picture quicky and messed it up a bit.

2004-08-02T20:54:00.000-07:00

My sister is taking a picture of me in this picture. It is a fine picture if I do say so myself.

2004-08-02T20:53:00.000-07:00

I am on the slack line in this picture. I could not go far on it. There is a fine finger in the picture as well.

2004-08-02T20:52:00.000-07:00

I took this fine picture of myself going to camp a few week ago. It was on the "coach" not on the bus.

2004-08-02T20:50:00.000-07:00

Here is a picture of my brother, me and my youth pastor after our star gazing outing.

2004-08-02T20:48:00.000-07:00

Here I am taking a picture of my self as you can see by the reflection in my really cool shades.

2004-08-02T20:47:00.000-07:00

Here my brother and I are doing some more spelunking in the Nomad Cave.

2004-08-02T20:45:00.000-07:00

My brother and I went spelunking in a cave. I have some really cool shades on in this picture.

2004-07-12T19:03:00.000-07:00

I just thought that I would let all of you know that I got a four on my chemistry test. That was quite a shock to me. I am really glad about that. We won't talk about the English one because I got a two on that. But, I got a four on the chemistry. That is exciting for me. I thought I would get a two on it but no I got a four. Thank you all for your support of me during those tought times in school. Well, that is all I will say for now. Thank you again for reading this post. If you would like you could leave a comment or two or three. So long

2004-07-11T22:16:00.000-07:00

Hey, it has been a while since i last posted. I went and counsled at Week in the Forest for Sherwood Forest last week with Paul and Alex. It was a good time. If you want to talk to me about it and hear all of the grand stories you can email me at ryanlikespie@gmail.com for further information. I will be counsling sherwood for my church with Paul next week. It should be a good time. I really have a ton of reading to do this summer. It really bites. I think that I will manage though. I really want to start praying with people more. I like it. I was listening on Campus Wave about this school that really had God woring and puring out his spirit in in England. I want to start really praying that God will move in my school this upcoming school year. I need to be more praying. I spend so little time praying compared to what I should. I really like praying with a small group of people it is easier for me to stay on track and keep my mind on the things at hand. Here I need to spice things up on this page. So I will type differently. How can I pray for you guys. If there is some one who reads this who does not regularly talk to me and you would like me to pray for you I would be honored by the chance to do that. If you could pray for me about next year in school that would be grand. That I will able to be the person who I am in Christ and to be a tool for God in my school. And also for my after high school plans. Whether it be going to UNR or Briercrest or Mission trip of anything else just that I will be able to follow God's will and not my own worldly desires. If you have something you feel would be a good thing for me to do I am always open to suggestions for the most part. Well, thank you all for taking the time to read this and I hope you all have a grand evening or what ever time of day it is when you read this.

2004-06-28T09:10:00.000-07:00

Hey, here I am again. It looks like I haven't posted in a while. I got back from AIM yesterday. It was really good. I am not sure what I will be doing for the rest of the next few days. I would like to go back next week and counsel for the dd camp but it doesn't look like that is going to be happening soon. Well, that is all for now. I will post some more in the near future. Thank you for reading this. So long.

2004-06-08T20:21:00.000-07:00

Here is a very very very nice picture of me sitting in a chair at my home. I am wearing a nice Calvin Crest Staff shirt and I believe that I am wearing these very nice black shorts of mine. Check out my nice shades on my head. They are soooooooooooo nice. Sort of. They are a bit scratched but they get the job done. Okay Bye bye

"Use Me Here" by Darin McWatters and Tim Brinkman of Everybodyduck

"Use me here, where I am
I'm not gonna pray anymore that You'll change Your plans
Despite my fear, I place my life in Your hands
The future can wait, tomorrow might be too late
So Jesus use me here

I lay my heart's desires at Your feet, Oh Lord
Take all the plans I've made and all my dreams
Blinded by triumphs of tomorrow I've let sin control today
So many drowning within reach, Father it's time You heard me say...

I tell myself I want to know Your will, Oh Lord
Still I confess I've had plans of my own
But from now on I plan to listen to Your will and to obey
No matter what the future holds I'm gonna live for You today"

------------------------------------------
This is a song that I like much. I have this cry sometimes. I feel like I am looking to the future and what I can do for God then, but I really want to be used now. Yes, I do want to do big things for God in the future, or God do big things through me, but right here and now I want to be used by God for his will. I so often set my own plans but I just need to let God do his will in me. "I lay my heart's desires at Your feet, Oh Lord" Thank you for reading. Fair Well

Here is a picture of me in WalMart in a shopping cart.

2004-06-04T18:25:00.000-07:00

I am here again writing this here blog. Today was nice. My bro and I went to Sky Tavern to ride bikes. We found the trail and rode on some other trails first but decided that we would wait untill we could shuttle the big ride. Then we saw Mr. Moses driving up the rode and began to persue him. He turned off after quite a few miles and we were about out of gas so we went on to the seven eleven. We made it back nicely. I think I saw some people with dh bikes at mt rose which is right where the sky tavern trail begins sort of. When we got back we went to the rio to get in. The rope swing was taken so we just jumped in on down the river. It was some cold water. We did not stay there for long. When we got home we just did nothing for a while. My parents go home and started making my brother and me do some tasks around the house. This summer is starting out to be a summer of labor. I think that it will be a good summer. I wish my parents would give my brother some more freedom. They give quite a bit but I would like them to let my brother and I drive to auburn and what not. That is a lot to ask for I know. Really things are alright. My parents love me and are good to me. I think that I will be going to westerguard in a few miniutes with my brother. Well, I will be going now. Thank you for taking the time to read my post I really appreciate all of the readers who read this. If you want to email me you can at ryanlikespie@gmail.com. Well, so long and good night

Hey there everyone. It is the end of the two thousand three two thousand four school year. I haven't posted in a while. I really don't have much to say right now. I hope to ride the downievill downhill in the next week or so. It is seventeen miles of pure downhill. Oh yeah. I went to super burrrrrrrrrrrito today. It was a nice time. I went down to the river after finding nothing exciting at the park and whitnessed my brother killing a person with a rock. It was actually not bad, the guy was being a bad boy and was secretly video taping some nice chicas and my brother did not approve of this behavior and promptly picked up a rock and threw it across the river nailing the guy in the head. It was a good move. The guy did not know what hit him. (this may have been slightly exageraged but then again maybe not) I am looking foreward to this summer. I would like to ride my bike some and also really try to grow in the Lord. Not just sit back and let things go but strive for growth. Well, that is about all I have to say for now. I appreciate people reading this. It is really hot in my house right now. I am burning up right now. So long

2004-05-11T17:14:00.000-07:00

Well, I have this blog and I have found that I have been spending way too much time looking at it and other blogs. I have decided that for the rest of this school year I will not look at blogs. If you want to say something to me you can email me at ryanlikespie@gmail.com. Well, thanks for all of your support of ryanwashere.blogspot.com. Bye for a few days.

This song is "I'm So Happy" by Hokus Pick

I just woke up
Coffee in my cup
Sultry walk on a sunny day
Find out what the paper says
Message from the President
No more tax for residents
Go, USA
I'm so happy, feeling snappy
My life is rosy, I'm feeling comfy cozy.
Free, limo ride
Free food inside
Getting paid triple time
Gotta go to Anaheim
Grabbed my briefcase, left my house
Got a meeting with the mouse
Flying first class
I'm so happy
Feeling snappy
My life is rosy, I'm feeling comfy cozy
Keeps getting better
Good times forever
And this is one great day
Playing guitar in a band
Just got back from Disneyland
Driving my new four by four
Ed McMahon is at my door
Stocks I bought just went up
Canucks won the Stanley cup
Bill Gates put me in his will
Someone paid my visa bill
I'm so happy
Feeling snappy
My life is rosy
I'm feeling comfy cozy
I'm so happy
Feeling snappy
Will there be sorrow
When I wake up tomorrow?

I like this song.

2004-05-08T12:53:00.000-07:00

Hey there. I will start with this. I was checking out some other blogs and then I went to Brian's live journal. It was a nice one at that. I checked out the comments and could not help but notice that there was my exact last post right there in his comments. It was directly copied and pasted there. Now this was not a bad thing at all. I had always thought that the only people to read my blog were Paul, Alex and Andrea but none of them put this comment on Brians journal. This is exciting for me. Aparently there is some other person that actually looked at my blog. If you are reading this and I have not mentioned you in this post then let me know you saw my blog. If you are too ashamed to leave a comment on here then you can send me an email at ryanlikespie@gmail.com. Well, enough about that. I just dialed Pauls phone number which by the way is... just joking. I did dial the number but it was busy. I may dial it again in a minute. I went to chemistry for a while. I am getting so I can work a few more problems than I useto be able to but I still am not so sure how I will do on the test. Well, I think that it is a bit windy today. I had to walk home from school today. It was interesting. I have not walked that ten mile stretch in a long time. Last day we went to rocksport and then had a bbq in the parking lot. I really do enjoy a little hotdog rost like that. I hope to do it again someday. I have a Jr. Research project to do. I am not too excited about that but I guess that I will have to do it. I think that it is due next week sometime. Well, I may go eat some food now. Thanks for reading this so long.

This song is the Fishy Song by Philmore

Sometimes I wonder
If I'll ever find her
The one that God's chosen for me
And what if I find her,
But she doesn't like me,
I guess that disproves destiny
But I should know better,
The sea is much wetter
With plenty of fishes to see
(For you and me)
And I know my Father
Has scoped out the water
And picked out a fishy for me
Jesus has a girl for me
she's everything I want her to be (Yeah!)
Jesus has a girl for me
I know he does just wait and see
Jesus has a girl for me
She's everything I want her to be
Jesus has a girl for me
And I'll love her, and she'll love me
Once in a while
I'm tempted to hook up
With any old Suzy or Jane
Who cares what she is like,
As long as she's pretty,
I don't even hafta know her name
But I should know better the sea is much wetter
With plenty of fishes to see
And I know my father
Has scoped out the water
And picked out a fishy for me
Jesus has a girl for me
I know he does because he told me
In his word, the Bible
The desires of my heart he'd give me
Every good and perfect gift,
We know is from above
But there is one gift that I haven't got
And that's the gift of love,
Now I know Jesus loves me
And I am so in love with Him
But that's a different kind of love, love, love,
That I've been thinking of
I want a girl with big, brown eyes
And smile so sweet,
Where is the girl who loves Jesus as much as me?
I want a girl, I want a girl,
With big brown eyes and smile so sweet
I want a girl, I want a girl,
Who loves Jesus..... Just as much as me
