trucker conversations

for a couple nights now, linda, sarah and zack have been talking a lot about Jesus and about their lives. they all love Jesus.
i've heard that a lot of people don't know who Jesus is, and that a lot of people know who he is and don't love him.
even though zack calls me a 'not quite animal', i'm still sort of an animal, and we all know who Jesus is. i guess we're born with it. i mean, we know that he's God and that he's going to show us all what we were all meant to be, and make us really beautiful, like we used to be, and he's going to make his relationship with people all better.. 'cause it's pretty messed up right now. i mean.. he already came.. and he did all that work already.. he's just waiting for the right time to show us.
listening to zack and sarah and linda talking.. you can just tell that he loves them a lot. Jesus, i mean. and i think he helps them love each other.
linda was talking about guilt last night. and that since God has forgiven her, she doesn't feel guilty anymore. and i was watching sarah and i saw her smile, and then she frowned, and i could tell she was thinking about that. and i think she tends to carry guilt around with her. zack said something about how people, especially some christians, try to 'pay God back' for his forgiveness by carrying guilt and feeling very very bad about themselves. and i think he and sarah do that more than linda does. and i think that's pretty stupid. i think they should stop that. sarah agreed with zack that it's very arrogant for them to try to 'pay God back'..
arrogance is pride. not the kind of pride that makes you happy for someone, but the kind of pride that makes you think you are better than someone. or less needy than someone.

i heard that the conversations truckers have are full of bad words and that i probably shouldn't listen to them too much. but i don't agree. i think that truckers have good conversations.
