"I used to ask God to help me.
Then I asked if I might help Him.
I ended up by asking Him to do his work through me."
by Hudson Taylor

Receive God's Treats on Halloween
Christians have been divided over how to handle Halloween
for as long as I remember. Most
acknowledge that the worldly history of Halloween; the controversy is over
whether today's Halloween practices (trick-or-treating, costume parties,
decorations, etc.) are sinful or not.
When our children were younger, my wife and I allowed them
to participate in a limited amount of trick-or-treating, but avoided the devil
and evil-type of costumes and decorations. We now live in a neighborhood that receives hundreds of kids
trick-or-treating, and we enjoy greeting children, many of whom know my wife at a local school.
Our church will offer GOD'S TREATS on this
Thurs, Halloween, at 5-6 pm. The best treat that we
can offer is Jesus Christ who offers the treat of eternal life, forgiveness,
and hope all year round.
Put your trust in the One who can save you from evil, and
forgive your sin if you ask for his mercy for your sins. Don't let the devil
influence you; Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Please call me at bluesky09 at juno.com if you
have questions. God’s biggest treat for you on Halloween is his grace in
Jesus Christ.

Some of us... (a prayer)
sentient \SEN-shee-uhnt; -tee-; -shuhnt\, adjective:
1. Capable of perceiving by the senses; conscious.
2. Experiencing sensation or feeling.
Sentience is reflection on what I'm thinking, experiencing, and sensing in my small corner of the universe.
Some of us
Some of us are worried… we need your promises
Some of us are busy… we need your peace
Some of us are tired… we need your rest
Some of us are distracted… we need your vision
Some of us are broken… we need your healing
Some of us are stuck… we need your way out
Some of us are lonely… we need your love
Some of us are joyful… we give you praise
Some of us are thankful… we give you honor
Some of us are glad… we give you glory
Some of us are relieved… we give you blessing
All of us are yours… we give you ourselves
