You know what?
Kicking and Screaming does not accomplish anything…
So why do it?
Maybe it make us think that someone must pay attention…
Know something else?
Complaining doesn’t really change anything…
So why do it?
Maybe it makes us feel better, like we’re being heard…
What would happen if we stopped?
God’s will would still be done, maybe even a little more expeditiously…
You know why?
Because God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and nothing changes that…
He is good
He works all things to the good of those who love Him
He always and only does what is right
He is better than man (as hard as it is to remember that)
Beautifully Surrendered,

i think all those things are just fun to do..you know kicking and screaming..and sometimes you just need to get something off your chest by complaining….i dont think we hold God back by doing those things mostly because usually the complaining kicking and screaming is done in a manner that isn’t against God but towards the struggles of life in general and in the end its all just a bit of fun..when done in moderation of course…k bye

I just would like everyone to know that I just got done with three and a half straight hours of testing (three different tests) AND IT’S NOT EVEN FINALS WEEK YET!!! So lets have a very quick recap:yesterday a rough draft of a paper and an hour and thirty minute test, today three hours of testingtomorrow final draft of a paper…and…and that’s it.This my friends is why this week is called DEAD WEEK (scary music plays in the background)…. But I think I have done really well on most of my tests so far, so that’s good. And ALL the glory be to God, because He knows how much (or little) I have put into this information.Ashley
even though kicking and screaming doesn’t accomplish anything…it’s still fun, and you know it. and sometimes complaining does get something accomplished, case in point…the new dress code. now, complaining just for the sake of complaining is stupid and pointless and doesn’t help anyone grow, there i agree with you.
Hey, I kicked and screamed plenty this week and felt DANG GOOD about it! LOL I didn’t want my tears to wash away all the emotions that were there, as to negate them all. I DID need to do it tho. It was important and well worth it. I personally don’t like the whole complaining scene, as I have partaken of that enough and truly dislike the taste of it- to me, around me, by me. Yeah, it’s like a grown ups way of whining.
The BATHROOM is completely ready as the new pipes were installed. I must tell you– it was too funny how it happened. Dad opened the back of the closet to get to the pipes. The wallboard inside was completely rotted and mildewed. Sam told him he was gonna have to take out the wall as there was no saving that at all. While he and Mr. Sam went to but a couple parts to finish the pipe job, and a tool (of course), I took a hammer to the tile around the faucet front and then to the rotted board behind. By the time they’d returned, the wall was not even there and I had even swept up the majority of the mess. I handed daddy the hammer and with a smile said “Fix the wall” just like grampa said to Uncle Marvin after he, grampa, put the hammer through the wall so that Aunt Franny could have a dining room/kitchen pass through window (100 years ago). LOL! It was perfect. Tomorrow it will be finished… I hope. =) YAY! We DID it… well, almost. Anyway, who ever said a little kicking and screaming wouldn’t get you nowhere? >=]P

I think it depends… the bible says to “do all things without complaining or disputing”… in Philippians.. but then, sometimes people would define complaining differently. but that’s what I know… it doesn’t mean let people walk all over you, or steal whats yours without putting up a fight.. but complaining seems more self centered. and doesn’t get much done… that last part was just a thought.. and what I stress here, is what I know, which is what I’ve already said, what’s in the bible… anyways.. just my thought.

Well said my friend. Persevere! 🙂
I just thought I’d put three comments on your xangaland… well, this is two… but what can I say?… thinking… thinking.. ok.. where are you? wait! let me guess… is it the white house? no… is it the bathroom?… I’ve done about all that I can do. surely you must be in the last place I’d look.. or maybe anywhere from the fourth to last… I don’t know… well, I’d better go, before I’m caught saying something incoherent, or foolish. and now that it appears indubitably that I have waited too long and that time has long come and gone, I’ll leave it at that, with only the addition of my name at the end!

so did the chicken or the egg come first?… and you know… the effects of time have been warped at high speeds… the higher the speed, it appears that time slows down. oh yes… so if someone could actually travel at light speed (which would pretty much have to be in space!) then if we were to look in a telescope, it would appear as if the things inside were barely moving, if at all! and inside the rocket… spacecraft, whatever.. inside, it would be just like normal, but coming back to rest, they would resume normal wear and tear time but what seemed like a short time, years could’ve actually passed! it’s crazy, and right now, it’s only been minute, but huge accomplishments at the same time done by science.. however, if you’re talking about going back into time, this poses an even larger task to figure out and work towards. not to mention all the unknowns of these theories. to travel back in time, you’d need something like the energy in equivalence to that of an exploding star, and immense speeds, and factors of various things that are relatively incalculable. with magnetic fields, laws of transportation physics. fusion, elements dealing with a fourth dimension… basically… I don’t think you should go after this alone, Ashley… I just don’t think it’s smart… but you’ll do what you’re going to. talk to you sometime.

Hey this is a nice site.
i would have to protest MOM, when we did that is the store or in the house, we heard 4 words…… anyone else remember these, “Go TO the BATHROOM” so, i know that (from experience) it doesn’t work, ad it was nicely put in this post. Love you Ash!
Hannah
PS- for those that don’t kno, when we heard those 4 words, that meant ‘you are getting a spanking’ heard it many times in my day. lol, right Ash
