Rough Night
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Sunday, August 12, 2012
I saw this parmesan cheese lid fits a pint size canning jar and I had to go try it. Sure enough, it does fit. I thought that was so cool. I don't know why I thought it was so cool, but it is. But then, I am part crazy so who knows why I do what I do. heeheeSo EO and Lauren both aren't feeling good, and I had another rough night. This morning, wow, my neck is swollen and I don't know if yesterday's flare up is part of today's or what. I ran such a fever last night, and I didn't even feel good enough to stand up and say hi to B&C when they stopped in. So, not better yet. Maybe tomorrow.
Steph is having a tough time with work. When she started at the Mercantile, then knew she needed Sunday morning off for the meeting. Tuesday wasn't a problem since they close before the meeting starts. Well about a month ago, one of her bosses started having a problem with her having Sunday morning off. Steph even said, she could come in before and work until 9:45, then go to the meeting and be back about 12. The one boss wouldn't even consider it. So (besides praying constantly about it) Steph talked to a number of the workers about them covering for her for those 2 hours she needs. They were all willing to help. So she went and talked to the other boss, and the other boss was fine with it. In fact the other boss was fine with her having Sunday's off. But when the 2 bosses talked, the "understanding boss" said they would accept her finding someone to cover for her while she was at the meeting. Steph did say, if she didn't get that time off for the meeting she was going to have to quit, because she couldn't live with having to miss 2 Sunday meetings a month. She is still working on figuring out a plan that the "non understanding boss" will accept. It is just sad, she has no problem working any other day even holidays. But... she needs 2 hours on Sunday and they don't want to give it to her. Even when there are some workers who take 3 day weekends almost every week. Go figure. She knows Satan is trying to give her grief but still. I guess there is some law that says no one can have the same day(s) off every week or someone could sue. What sense does that make? Because how many jobs are M-F and weekends off. ??? It is messed up. I thought there was some sort of law about accommodating for religious activities. Although maybe it was something about not being fired because of it? IDK I just wish there was some sort of legal help for her. But I give her such props for fighting for being at the meetings.
So I heard now that not only listed on the territory card "Do Not Call" there is also "Do No Write" too. It just makes me smile. I don't know if I should because it is sad that people are closing the door on Jehovah but at the same time, people are making it clear who's side they are standing on, Jehovah's or Satan's. I pray all the time for good results, that the letters will reach honest hearted ones. That they will effect people. Now in my mind I thought to the good, I hadn't thought about weeding out those... who need to be weeded out. I worried that the letters would just be tossed in the trash, so I am so happy to know they are effecting people. If the letters find weeds or if they are fruitful it means they are working. EO has really been busy in the ministry. He has been finding such good responds, it is exciting.
These are awesome times we are living.
