Representing

By Ryan, April 16, 2007

Virginia Tech University was represented in the worst way today. An outstanding college gained global attention when a student slayed many of his fellow Hokies as well as himself. It’s not Virginia Tech’s fault that this happened, but they will naturally receive all the negative attention for it.

Every second of every day is spent representing someone. At a football game, we represent the Dallas Cowboys. Or Frisco High School. Or Oklahoma State. At the grocery store, we represent Mom and Dad. Some places we go, we represent our city, state, or even country. And as long as we live, we represent God and Jesus. I honestly believe that if we were more conscious of our decisions all the time, Christians would have a much better image among non-believers. But some people will only see one version of Jesus, and that version will be a complete shame to Christians. Don’t let yourself be the bad version someone sees. Strive to be the best “Jesus” you can be. The first people that invited Billy Graham to church could easily have been a “bad Jesus” for him. They weren’t. Look at the results.

Wherever you go, be the best person you can be so that you can represent well.

 Kristin:

I represent Centennial and when Im at games, UIL or Spring Trip not only do I represent my school (which is the best) but I represent my Band.. Also dont for get we represent our church!

 Ryan:

Okay, what’s your angle? You trying to list everything I forgot?

 Kristin:

nope lol. just saying. im not picky just throu. :-) Its the way i am. LOL

BTW how's your mom? I feel for her because my grandma is a teacher and come exams and taks she really is stressed and is not feeling well

 Ryan:

Mom’s doing okay. It’s mainly the grading that gets her down.

 Kristin:

thats good that shes doing better. I was looking at your October 05 posts and have you considered being a student misiter? Your prob. like WHAT?!?! But I think you'd be an awesome student minister.

 Ryan:

Yeah, I made billions of posts in October 05. Ever since then I might put one or two out each week.

 Kristin:

Your going to camp WOW right? What's it like because the only retreat ive been on is with my old church and that was to Pine Cove.

 Ryan:

I don’t think that student ministry is what I’m being called to do. But who knows? Maybe in 10 years we’ll look back at this comment and laugh.

 Ryan:

Of course I’m going to WOW. It’s awesome... especially if you like zip-lines.
It won’t be as good without Simon, though.

 Kristin:

Knowing you and I i think we will. Right now i dont really know what im being called to do. Maybe it's bring people to get to know Jesus or helping people.

 Ryan:

I think the most realistic path for me is being a math teacher like my mom.
But, I could go into the field of turning Blogger into an IM service.

 Kristin:

Or you could do both. I will either be a computer programmer like my dad since i absolutly love computers and working with them or be a vet since my passion for animals is also up there.

 Ryan:

What kind of animals? You mean like FISH?!?

 Ryan:

All drains lead to the ocean, Kristin.

 Kristin:

hah very funny lol! that whole dont tap on the glass it irritates the fish was Michael being his funny self at the Moody Gardens last week on thursday but I love horses, dogs, sometimes cats. Those are my main 3 favorite animals.

 Ryan:

Well, whatever animals you like... stay away from Australian girls named Darla.

 Kristin:

lol why

 Kristin:

going back to camp WOW and you sayin it wouldnt be as much fun with out Simon, it goes back to that chat we had at life group when we found out about Simon leaving. I prob. woulnt like this church b/c Im not the type that go up to people and introduce myself so when Simon did that and Dave for that fact I absolutly love this church and im not afraid to speak out on what i believe.

 Kristin:

Well im going to go sit and chat with my grandparents for 30min ill prob. be on at 8

 Ryan:

It’ll still be fun. I hope it’s the same as last year. That was good fun.

 Kristin:

where is Camp WOW BTW

 Ryan:

Somewhere in Oklahoma
YAY OKLAHOMA!!

 Lil' Fishy:

ill be sure to bring my longhorn hat. and shirt lol gotta show it off someway.

 Ryan:

Lil’ Fishy? Kristin? Make up your mind, FISH!!!

 Kristin:

 Ryan:

Guess what...
IT’S ALREADY MAY, YOU FISH!!!

 Kristin:

Its not the end of school there for I am still a fish until the end. And sorry i was helping my parents needed help cutting down a tree with a hand saw.


:-)

 Ryan:

Sounds like fun.
At the rate we’re going, wouldn’t it be easier to just throw IMs or e-mails at each other? I hate having to refresh the webpage to see what you said.

 Kristin:

yes it would be alot eaiser lol

 Kristin:

how would we do the Im thing tho.

 Ryan:

Look, FISHY, I was just spittin’ off ideas. Don’t make me tap the glass!

 Kristin:

*no tappy on glassy*

 Ryan:

Muaah-hah-hah-hah!

 Kristin:

well how u gonna tape on the glass if im in Greenville which is an hour away muhahahahahha think about that junior (right?)

 Kristin:

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Got you there!

 Ryan:

Yeah, I’m a junior. A junior with an hour-long go-go-gadget arm! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha... *fart*.

My advice? Watch Master of Disguise. Then you’ll understand the fart.

 Kristin:

i've seen parts of it but im the band geek movie person like Drumline that was the BEST movie ever well besides Spiderman 3

 Ryan:

Spider-Man 3. Just the terrible kind of ending these Spidey movies have made us come to expect.

 Kristin:

i have to admit the ending was kinda lame. And Tobey is quitting.

 Ryan:

He ain’t gonna find work anywhere outside of Spider-Man. I mean, what other good movie did he star in? Seabiscuit? Um, no!

 Kristin:

I acually liked seabiscuit. Only cause the horses Go Figure!

 Ryan:

I cried when I saw Seabiscuit. Not because it was sad. But because it was $8.50 I will never see again.

 Kristin:

My parents are debating if we should move and im like HECK NO! I would like to stay and see my friends and stay at Centennial and there like you could go to Frisco High School I was like let me think about that AH NO.


lol i like Centennial too much and i like arguing which is better.

 Ryan:

Well, you could stay at Centennial. I mean, nobody’s perfect.

 Ryan:

lol

 Kristin:

Yes God and Jesus are perfect. LOL there i go picking out your mistakes

 Ryan:

Jesus graduated from FHS.

 Ryan:

And Satan is currently an undergrad at UT.

 KMP:

the U.S wasen't even discovered Genuis

 KMP:

HEY you a OU fan?

 Ryan:

FHS was relocated from the Roman Empire to Frisco in the year 1492 so it would be in a town that actually had its name.

 Kristin:

Sure...... So back to the fish thing who is this fish? Im curious

 Ryan:

OU? That’s where Satan plans to get his Master’s degree in e-Burnology. (It’s an online course.)

 Kristin:

IC You want to know whats really Ironic! Ok so My grandpa passed away 10 min. b4 i was going to get my award and this 17 is his 3 year aniversiry and our concert is on his aniversery!

 Ryan:

My grandpa died 10 years ago on the 27th. That’s not really ironic. But it’s relevant.

 Kristin:

My dad's being mean to me he's like your so hyper your like those sporrow's who wont shut up in the morn.

 Kristin:

wow... was it hard to cope with the first couple of days.

 Ryan:

I can totally see someone comparing you to those friggin’ birds. No offense.

 Kristin:

hey! brb

 Kristin:

back... might have to go soon not sure tho...

 Ryan:

I’m gonna watch a movie with my brother. You know, take full advantage of the no-school day. Seeya Wednesday!

 Kristin:

We dont have life group Wensday do we? Or are we at the church. Well going to ride the tractor.... Sorry bout yesterday my mom told me i had to get ready for bed... but it didnt go to sleep till 11:00. Are you good with telling people what there dreams mean?

 Ryan:

Look, I know you think I can be a youth pastor, but now you want me to interpret dreams? Who do you think I am? A mix between Chuck Norris and Mother Theresa?

 Kristin:

yep... I was just asking b/c it has been bothing me and i really want to know what it means and since its about a guy and your a guy i thought maybe he'd know...

Oh and Good Morning.

 Kristin:

Was looking online for a drum set. (why do she need a drum set she's a clarinet player) Well ever since I was "adapted" into Pit during Marching season I've always wanted to play drums but parents wont get me a drum set so i was destened to find a drum set to call my own. Heres the link to see it.

Drumset

Dont know if the link works

 Kristin:

In one of your posts i was reading..... "What is it with women and football?" Just because we are women doesnt mean we have to hate football.. I like a lot of teams OSU, Longhorns, Colts, Cowboys, so there. lol just cause we are girls doesnt mean were wimpy and pansies (except me according to Michael Nootbaar)

 Ryan:

I don’t like it when I make a tongue-in-cheek remark like that and people just see the words and think I’m being serious.

 Kristin:

i knew you were kidding. I get it too. Well going to drive on tractor before it rains.... be on in little bit

 Kristin:
