Oxford, N.C. — Sixteen-year-old Ashton Lundeby's bedroom in his mother's Granville County home is nothing, if not patriotic. Images of American flags are everywhere – on the bed, on the floor, on the wall.

But according to the United States government, the tenth-grade home-schooler is being held on a criminal complaint that he made a bomb threat from his home on the night of Feb. 15.

the world as best as i can remember it

EDIT: Joyful and Dave are not homeless- they are indoors. praise the Lord.

It seems Christmas has become my annual “take stock of where you are at this point in your life and summarize” season. I don’t know which is cause and which is effect, but I usually find myself melancholy, reserved, and introspective during this season. Either way, I don’t feel I have much to be proud of, and I’m tired of inescapably using the pronouns “I” “me” “my” and “mine”. This is my 8^th night of 11 third shifts in a row, and coupled with excruciating physical pain, it’s taking a real toll. This is the last sentence I hope to offer a complaint: my “new year’s resolution” is to “be content with such things as you have” and to quit my incessant whining. I must be the luckiest loser I’ve ever met.

Several people in the past few weeks who are dear to me have taken me to task and demanded to know in no uncertain terms what the hell is wrong with me and when am I ever going to get my act together. I have brazenly and arrogantly replied with the most painful personal attacks I could muster, leaving everyone hurt and disappointed. I wish I could tell them to not invest in me- to leave me for a hopeless case and go on to better things. Stick with people like my siblings, who are going somewhere. This is not a complaint- it’s just how things are right now.

How many people have I invested in and hoped for who have given me no reason to believe they will ever come to good? This is Christ’s perspective: every lost sheep is worth scouring the hills for until found and returned to the fold. Of all the principles of spiritual power, none is more important or inescapable than that of sacrifice. I just finished watching “The Prestige” for the 5^th or 6^th time, and the subject is fresh on my mind. The successful exchange of energy- the triumph of a sacrifice- never lessens the pain of what is given in the exchange. If it doesn’t hurt, it wasn’t a sacrifice. The pain does not mean there was a failure, but the success does not abate the pain. Unfortunately, the pain does not guarantee a success.

I have been used by God to introduce many people to the fold for the first time, to save lives, to deliver people from demonic oppression, and to heal people’s minds and bodies. On two occasions I’ve prayed all night for a person only to find out in the following days that it saved their life. On two another two occasions I’ve felt heart-rending pain for no apparent reason only to find in the days following that I had lost someone in a very irrevocable way when I would do anything to have them back. This has taught me that I am not “the decider” (and neither is George Bush, for that matter), but that I am a part of something much much much larger and more complex than myself. You’d think I’d be more humble.

This week I keep repeating a sentence that is unquestionably true, however it may be interpreted as to value: “I still love every woman I have ever loved”. They carry a part of me, and I have not lost it. They are welcome to keep the part of me I gave them- I will not ask for it back. All those threads woven in the human stories that I have touched deeply seem to be the saddest and most disappointing threads- but who has the perspective large enough to judge the worth of my pain? Only the Most High. Joyful and Dave are at last check homeless in the harsh snow of northern New Mexico with no possessions or form of identification. Janis would say “freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose”. Remember “the least of these” in your world- remember that your Lord, your God, your Messiah who accomplished the most successful sacrifice of all; the most powerful being in the universe was once a crisis pregnancy laying in a box full of hay with no health insurance, soon to be running for his life from the government’s army. He knows “what it’s like”.

I’ve been madly in love with the same woman for 9 months now. We’ve been sharing the same house with a third sister for 3 months. We barely pay the bills, we’ve each held 3 jobs this year, I gained a car and lost a car, we are castigated by loved ones on a regular basis, we have absolutely ZERO assurance of anything in the future, and we’re often sad and confused. But we live indoors, eat wonderful homecooked meals, are part of a family of brothers and sisters who help each other through the hard times, our loved ones forgive us on a regular basis, we have clean criminal records, we’re not addicted to any substances, and boy oh boy are we in love. I must be the luckiest loser I’ve ever met.

This is all the advice I can think of at 25 years old (and I mean old). Give yourself away. Pray for mercy daily. Cry on a regular basis. Don’t fear the future. Cook your meals from scratch when you can. Don’t give your allegiance to any creation of humans. You know more “facts” now than you ever will. You will never be surer of yourself than you are now. The only thing you can really grow in is humility and faith, so get started on those early- “figuring things out” is for kids, and is largely a waste of time. Wise old people don’t know anything, and that’s why they’re worth listening to. You’re going to spend most of your life working to make money: make sure you don’t hate every minute of it or feel that you are being used or wasting your time. Pay your bills, but do it with peace.

Blessings to all of you! I wish we could all be together spatially. Let’s try to be together in spirit. Hold me in your arms when you talk to God, and I will hold you in mine. Don’t give up on me or on you! God hasn’t, and I don’t think he’s crazy…

untimely demise

we regret to inform you that the writer of this blog is no longer with us. he faded into oblivion and stopped pontificating his prophecies of doom some time ago.  occasionally he answers his cell phone. also out of commission is the authors' benz, spine, brain, and sense of ambition, and probably ethical barometer. he sends his love to all his extended estranged family members.
