The Morning After

Last night was a kid's delight. Halloween night our kiddies dressed up, and headed around the neighborhood. They got a lot of loot, and we headed back home.

One thing I love about the event is the family togetherness. We go out as families (my sister and brother-in-law went with). Then we got back to the house where my parents were, and spent some time with the kids running around and the adults enjoying being together.

There is a lot of controversy over the whole deal in the faith community, I get that. But a couple years ago I had a really dramatic change of view. Halloween fell on a Sunday night. And I was in church praying for God to reach the lost. Meanwhile, the lost were coming to my door, only I wasn't home to meet them.

I use Halloween to build relational connections with my neighbors. They actually welcome me to come over and talk, because it's Halloween. I'm not going to turn that down. If a conversation last night can lead to a conversion tomorrow.

And you get Candy!!!
