shoulda laid this down earlier.

Christ is not honored by celebrating Halloween. Replace the celebration of Halloween with something completely unassociated to it. You can make it a family night and do something special together, the PRINCIPLE OF REPLACEMENT. Romans 12:21 teaches "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good."
Certainly remove the bad. Explain to your children why you are not celebrating Halloween any more. BUT then replace it with something that will glorify God (I Corinthians 10:31). Be creative. Make what you do more fun, yet honor Christ. Have a harvest party where you focus on Christ the creator and his provisions for you. Have a Christian video party. Have a glory gathering where Christian songs are sung and the word is preached. Get a group together and go from door to door and pass out Gospel tracts then meet for a time of fellowship afterward.
Prayerfully consider what Christ would have you to do. May your desire be that of James, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you." (James 4:7-8).

no claims on the above. annnnnd no names as usual. as the title says i wish i had posted this a couple days ago. or maybe even a week. as this pargraph says we shouldnt rejoice in Satan's wickedness we should overcome the Devil with goodness and righteousness, something that would glorify the name of God.


anyway on the a similar note. i had my own battles to face. my fight with Satan was still on halloween and it was inevitable as joanie had said yesterday at sevenup. the 31st was eventful, the dance was on that day. my job in the sac. that day was to help setup and do other random jobs. we had a classroom party which was ho lame ah. then later the dance rolled along. the dance was more or less atrocious. girl with girl slow dancing and four people dancing like what the frig? i sorta have the idea that it wasnt meant to be that way or maybe im aganist homosexuals? anyhoo it was pretty bad. i felt so disconnected from God. my Holy Spirit waivered. it was a horrifying experience for sure. but i felt disconnected in a way that i did not know i was sinning. in other words i was running around like a mole, but with none of its other senses. i was blind. was this what hell is like? because it seemed pretty ugly.


all in all a deft experience. g'nite for there is church tommorow
