HUGE THANKSGIVING AND BLACK FRIDAY SALE!! CHECK IT OUT!!
Hey everybody! As Christians, people should be able to see a difference in us and be able to tell we are Christians. And wearing Christian clothes definitely helps with that! But it's hard to find Christian clothes that are modern and stylish. NOT ANY MORE!!! CHECK THIS STUFF OUT! I have a TON of their stuff and plan on getting more.
KEEP IT EXTREME!

1 Timothy 4:6-10
6. If you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed.
7. Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness;
8. for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.
9. The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance.
10. For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.
We were going over this in Sunday school the last few weeks and it kinda stuck out to me.
I like to work out some and exercise... stay in shape. When you consistently and diligently discipline yourself, and train yourself physically, what happens? You gain self control, and have something to show for it. (muscle)
Like it says in verse 8, physical training is great, but training yourself in godliness is of value in EVERY WAY! Which is so true, especially as Christians. Like in verse 6 we need to be training ourselves in the God's word constantly and consistently. With a plan! So we can be "good servants of Christ" and be able to flex our "spiritual muscles".
Just as if you have been working out physically and are in shape it shows, people should be able to tell if we are training ourselves diligently in God's word.
So what's your spiritual "work out routine?" Do you have a plan and focus to be growing spiritually?

Saturday I was the wedding of a couple that goes to my church. I was ushering. It was pretty sweet because we got to wear tuxes! hehe. Friday night I went to the rehearsal, then spent the night at my best friend kaleb's house. (Who was also in the wedding)
It was ridiculous. Super rad though. Some good friends came over that I hadn't seen in a long time, and we all played Call of Duty Modern Warfare til 3:30 in the morning. Then camped out on the game room floor. We didn't actually go to sleep until about 4:30 and then got up at 8:00. After a breakfast of eggs, toast, and Save-a-Lot oatmeal cookies, we headed out to the wedding. Suffice to say I slept well Saturday night. haha
Here's some pics of the tux... with a skateboard of course.
KEEPIN IT EXTREME

Monday night my church did an event called "Trunk or Treat." Usually on Monday nights they do something for the kids called "AWANA" clubs, and every year do an "AWANA FAIR." (Basically a bunch of booths set up in the gym and the kiddies go from booth to booth, play the activity at the booth and get candy.
But this year we did "Trunk or Treat." What it was is this: A bunch of people park their vehicles in a BIG circle with the trunks facing in. Each person decorates their trunk with a "theme" and then the kids get dressed up and come around from trunk to trunk getting candy.
I was one of the trunks. Try and take a wild guess at what theme mine was. haha SKATEBOARDING!! Oh yeah! I had my ramps set up in front of my trunk, and graffiti (done by yours truly) on everything.
IT
WAS
THE
BOMB!!
I also had a TV hooked up to a infra-red camera so the little kiddies could see themselves on the TV. It was pretty fun. And then with a press of a button... SKATE VIDEOS! (Of course)
We had some cutouts from skateboard magazines taped up in the extra space. Altho there wasn't much left over space. I had my broken skateboards EVERYWHERE. There's a total of 13 skateboards in this picture... see if you can spot them. hahaha
KEEPIN IT EXREME YO,
I'M OUT
Yesterday I went to an event hosted by Circle "C" Ranch... called "Fright Night." It was SO much fun, hanging out with my best friends, as well as seeing some people I haven't seen in a long time.
We went through the walk-through-asylum thing they had. That was so much fun, we were just messing with the creepy people and trying to get them to crack up the whole time. I told the one crazy girl that grabbed my shoulder to call me and she cracked up.
Me and my friends played four-square for hours! I haven't played that game in SO long so it was blast! Kaleb and I were reminiscing the old days when we were little kids and four-square was like food... it was the bomb. haha
At the end of the night everyone went up to the chapel and did activities, they gave out prizes and all that great stuff. They did a skit called "Bright Eyes" it was basically a similar plot to the skit our group did for Teen Power Up called "Everything" and had a strong salvation message. Then Wayne Aarum came up and explained the skit and the free gift of salvation. And did an altar call. Something like 2o kids went foward and said they had prayed and accepted Jesus Christ as their savior that night! Praise GOD!!
Have you made that decision? Don't wait. Because time doesn't wait.
STAY EXTREME,
I'M OUT
Last Thursday it snowed for the first time this season! I was so pumped. I ran and got my camera and started shooting photos everywhere, and yes, made a mini snowman-dude.
It didn't stick much that afternoon. However it continued to snow all night, so on Friday morning I woke up to find everything covered in the white fluffy goodness.
It's all gone now, but for the better I guess. I have to take my road test in under two weeks and would like to not have snow to mess me up.
All my friends all think I'm crazy because of my love for snow. All except the ones that snowboard or ski that is! This time of year is so hard sometimes because the off-and-on snow makes everything in me itch to snowboard.
So this is the call to all you EXTREME winter sports lovers out there: Get out the boards, skis, coats and goggles! Gear up, strap in, and feel the excitement! Smell it in the air, see it in the trees. Winter is coming!
KEEPIN IT EXTREME,
I'M OUT
Hey guys, here's a song I wrote last week.
Verse 1:
You cry all night when you get home,
You say you're fine, but feel so alone,
You've got questions you've got pain,
You think I'm perfect, but were the same,
God is calling:
Chorus:
Come on home! Come on home! come home and lose your fears,
I died for you, so you could live, let me wipe away your tears,
I chose you, now its time, for you to choose me,
AND BE FREE
Verse 2:
We've all got problems of our own,
We're all broken, you're not alone,
There is a God who's felt all you feel,
And through it all, His love is real,
And He is calling:
(chorus)
