working nights is really confusing. I do not remember what day is what or remember correctly how many days ago I did something. but i think i am getting into a routine. My days are now nights; whereas my nights are now days.

There is a couple at work that i work with during the night. I have talked to the husband quite a bit and monday morning before i got off we started to talk about religion. He and his wife are students of Jehovah Witness. We were talking about why they did not celebrate birthday parties. I never did get a straight answer. He said something about the Bible stating two parties and what happened to them. They also do not celebrate Christmas because it was a pagan holiday to begin with. Yeah so the date was pagan, but the meaning is still Christmas. I love Christmas because Christmas is a time for being with families and to surprise each other. But most of all Christmas is the time to thank God for sending his son into this world to die for all of mankind whether they believe it or not. Some Biblical scholars believe that the actual birth did not happen in December, but who cares. It is a nice way to end the year. With the hope and joy and love that God gave to us.

We were able to talk about other issues. But i feel inadequate to be witnessing to him. I do not know a whole lot about Jehovah Witnesses. I know some stuff from another encounter with one. But I want to know more and seriously share with him the truth. So if anyone has any ideas where I could get more information on Jehovah Witnesses, please let me know.

I was talking to mom yesterday - describing Jenelle's wedding. I enjoyed it quite a bit. When I get married (if I ever do) I would want one like hers. Simple but magnificent. Very laid back. i still remember when she and I met. It was our freshmen year at LU during orientation. we were in the same suite. so we started to do everything together. we went to the church fair together and church together for a while before I went somewhere else. I remember hearing her hair dryer in the early mornings and her and candance having fun. She is an awesome friend and I consider it to be an honor to have gone and watched her and chris tie the knot.
