Random Road Trip to Asheville

Hello friends! A couple of weeks ago I hopped in the car with some pals from CCK and headed to Asheville, NC for the afternoon. Though I had been past Asheville several times, I had never had the opportunity to gawk at the sights of downtown. I don't think I've ever seen so many hippies in one place--or dread locks! We walked through shops and in one of them Dennis modeled a scarf for us....with a little prompting from Meagan and I. : ) Surprisingly, hippie clothes can be exspensive, but they resemble clothes anyone could find in a thrift shop...so I wonder why anyone would bother buying the expensive clothes??? Don't hippies rummage around for clothes anyway? So...does that make me a hippie?

During our adventure we encountered a gathering of hippies that were beating on jimbays. There didn't seem to be much of purpose other than to make some noise and dance around to the music. One guy walked toward the crowd of gathering onlookers and yelled "dance!" It was easy for me to have self-righteous thoughts as I watched this strange assembly, but was reminded that my salvation was only because of grace and that God could of let me stay in my hell-bound state! All in all, it was an eye-opening experience!!! I reckon this country girl ain't seen much of the likes of hippies in Grainger County. : )
