I'm not a fan of Halloween. Some people find that surprising, since for years we built a huge, scary fun house called "Scream in the Dark" which hundreds of teens attended.
The point of that was to illustrate the message that we can learn from our fears. Yes, it was scary, but there was nothing even slightly demonic in it. After scaring the kids "to death," they were given a short talk about what can be good about some fears, and how God can help us overcome the serious fears we face.
But I can't get enthused about all the spirit-ish aspects of what the holiday has increasingly become. If I could think of a really good way to celebrate All Saints Day on Nov 1, I'd do that. Does anybody have any ideas? The Methodist church here remembers those who have died in the past year, so at least that's something.
Anyway, this tree sure is frightened of something!
And since a lot of people are frightened of spiders, here's a picture for them.
Got a lot done today. Including... picking up a battery-powered pruning saw I had ordered. It is slicker 'n snot! I may have to blog about it.
Maybe I'll start featuring one Christian each year who has really influenced me. I understand that Roman Catholics have designated Saints. But Scripture says that all who believe are saints.
