It’s a pleasure to be a clone of such a fine young lady…

… Now why am I craving muffins?
Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.
- J. Hudson Taylor
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Whew! Oh good! Now I'm not the odd Ashley out anymore. :lol: Ok that was so bad not even I laughed. :sweat:

I just thought of something else though, thanks Ashely for having the guts to make walls with bible verses and then post them not only here but on secular wallpaper sites *cough*MiniTokyo*cough* as well. You gave me the courage to do the same thing. ;)

Wow, this thread has grown to four pages since midnight last night in this here Texas time. Y'all are wonderful! :rock: Ashley, I cried reading what you wrote. :sniffle: Thank everyone who has become an Ashley today. ^____^:hug:Keep posting and keep being assimilated. :grin:

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

Another thought. I posted this in a forum before but one of the other ones to post here reminded me of it.
Just as that one said you and CAA are a Godsend. I needed a place to see christian veiws on the art form I love and now I have one.
Anyway Thanks once again. Happy Turkey day :grin:

Happy Ash-wednesday! :hug: Sorry I didn't change my avatar, but I do want to thank you, Ashley, for all you've done.

Before I found the CAA, I didn't know how to handle my faith and love of anime. I had so many questions, and no one to answer them. Finally I was so fed up that I turned to the internet and desperately searched for a site with Christian otakus. When the Christian Anime Alliance site popped up, I was too overjoyed to speak. Since then I've found no shortage of fellow believers and anime-lovers, and have made some wonderful friends. My questions have been answered, and that could never have happened but for the help of the CAA.
Thank you, Ashley, for all you've put into this site. You are an exceedingly cool mod and loyal shepherdess (you also make the neatest wallpapers, but that's a different story). XD
"Consider the lilies of the field. They neither sew nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these. If God so clothes the grass, which is in the field one day and cast into the oven the next, how much more will he clothe you, o ye of little faith?

Ashley! Thanks so much for all the hard work you've put into this site. It's been such a blessing to always have a little corner online for all of us. This is a great place to post up practically anything, be it anime, music interests, sports, and just goofing off! ^_^ Thanks again! Ooo oo, and I don't want to for get all the rest of the administrators for keeping us in line. :wink:

Despite the fact that I have generally slowed my attendance to CAA, it still belongs in a special place in my heart..my home away from home on the internet and all thanks to Ashley!!!

Thank you sooo much for providing a great, awesome, and wondeful place for Christian Otaku fans to have fellowshp with one another without the effect of secularism. I belong to some really cool secular (non-Christian) on-line communities but from past experiences, CAA and other Christian online communities blow them all out of the water. I love every member and they mean so much to me...like Ashley!!

Thank you Ashley (and the others mods :sweat: for your time, you dedication, and your relationship with God. He has currently blessed you and your work.

If it hadn't been for Ashley we couldn't even be having this conversation here... That in itself is something to be thankful for.

I apologize that this undead clone hasn't risen sooner, because Ashley deserves instant zombie reaction. :thumb:

Well Ashley, I'm sure that I can't beat some of these thanksgivings that others have already spoken. But know that I am grateful for this place that God has led you to create. This is the best place on the web I've been yet:)

May God continue to bless you and for you to be a blessing to others.

Okay, so I'm reading and posting in the Prayer Room, and I keep seeing Ashley... EVERYWHERE! And then I realized everyone looked like Ashley. Talk about a Twilight Zone moment.

Thank God I came and found this thread to straigthen things out. And it's a wonderful idea, to boot! Praise God for guiding Ashley in this wonderful ministry, and thank you, Ashley, for staying true to God during it all. I love CAA, and I know that I have grown during my time here and have made friends. I love all of my brothers and sisters here, including you, Ash.

Happy Thanksgiving.
