hmmm, wednesday. what to post, what to post...
i'm reading this fantastic book on world religions. i'm fascinated by the belief systems of different religions and such (even though my own beliefs are firmly rooted in Christianity), so this has been a fun read. i'm getting a "tour" of LDS, Jehovah's Witnesses, Islam, Judaism, and i think we'll be covering Buddhism too. really cool, really informative. while the book is biased towards Christianity, the authors are working very hard to be fair to each of the faiths they cover, and i think they're doing a good job.
we're just about done shopping for our Christmas family. every year, at work, we adopt a family via the Salvation Army and contribute to buy them a grocery gift card, and gifts for every family member. my friend jenny coordinates the effort, and i usually get to help with the shopping. the wants and needs of this year's family was very different from families we've served in years past, but taking care of them has been just as fun as ever. today, we get to wrap the gifts we bought for the parents, but we include wrapping paper so the parents can wrap the gifts for the kids. i love doing this, but every year, i wish i could be a fly on their wall on Christmas morning.
that's it for me today, i guess...
