  • Happy Halloween!

    I like Halloween. I think it's fun dressing up in costume and I love seeing excited little kids coming to my door. It's fun to watch the children, too, particularly the smaller ones in the 3-6 age group. They seem to be the most excited about it.

    I know that many Christians say this is a holiday rooted in evil traditions, but quite honestly, if you look at most holidays, they all have pagan traditions blended in with them, including Christmas and Easter.

    Trick-or-treating in our town was last night so it wouldn't interfere with church night. This is our 2nd Halloween in this house, and I was totally excited that I actually have trick-or-treaters. For the past 9 years, we've lived in apartments in the business district where no trick-or-treaters ever came. This year, I ran out of candy. I bought way too much candy last year, so I only went with 4 bags of candy bars this year. John was hoping he could eat the leftovers, but there was only one, and that was because they were coming to the door in groups and I didn't want to stand there with only one piece of candy left. We still had half an hour to go before it was over, but I figured by the time I ran to the store and got back, it would be over, so we just turned off the porch light and finished watching NCIS uninterrupted.

    Speaking of NCIS, did anyone else get the feeling that last night's episode ended with a "to be continued" effect to it? I don't recall seeing the words come up on the screen, but between the way last night's ended and the few snippets of next week's episode they showed, it seems to me that this one is going to be continued.

  • We like to take the opportunity to pass out gospel tracts (with candy as well) to the children as they come to our door. We were prepared this year and didn't have a single one! We have had several at this same house other years . . . weird.

  • I am so glad to see people posting links on their site to the video. I cried 3 times while showing it to others before I finally found a way to post it! ha!

    I had to marvel when I read your last post then realizing that then you went to my site and saw the video! God certainly is on the horizon!!!

    Good to hear from you!

  • We rarely get trick or treaters here, but last night our church passed out candy in a "Trunk or Treat" thing.  Last Sunday the children's sermon said that "Halloween" was actually "All Hallows Eve" which was to celebrate the saints who have gone before us.  I like that explanation rather than the Halloween is the devil's birthday idea.
