Christmassteve
That is what i ended up calling it last night, you know, christmas eve eve… Had a fun night last night. First i left work a whole 4 minutes early becuase i was so ready to leave
then i got home.
Heh, but in reality what i did was a good bit of very efficient shopping, and then went out to ephrata with my cuz and some other friends. apparantly shady maple (large grocery store popular amoung the menonite and amish infested area) has been doing a midnight madness dinner on christmassteve for a while now? i thought it was odd. but anyway that is what i did. ate a second dinner at 11 pm. it was a nice time though. actually it is called midnight gladness now, since a few years ago someone committed suicide out in the parking lot at one of these things. yeah, i don’t know why she shared that.
Played a new game too, tri—- somehting or other. basically its a game where you always have three things that are tied together somehow, and you need to figure that one similar thing out. for example. Chicago, English, and Snooker –:> would give an answer of ‘pool and billiards’ Anyone else ever played this game? i thinks its been around since 93, but i had never heard of it. also got into some rather lengthy discusions about tollerance and whether other religions are ‘wrong’ etc etc. It is a good thing to think about occasionally. does the fact that you are right in your faith automatically make everyone else wrong? lots of people would agree with yes, and some would be quite vocal about it too. but i still believe quite strongly that the knowledge to know one thing is right is quite separate from the knowledge to know that something else is wrong. plus, its thinking like that that cuases some nasty conflicts… (i used quite three times in a row, euch!).

Merry Christmas Dave!
(I agree with your right/wrong comment. I also think it’s arrogance to judge what is in other peoples hearts. I think that God can work in all different types of ways and it’s very limiting (of God) for me to think that this Westernized verson of Christianity is the only way to go. Any ways that my two cents. Can’t wait to see you at New Years!
