I have kids and I encourage Halloween play!
Good stuff.

Dan, LOL.

Good post. Let’s all remember to be careful not to turn around and be guilty of judging those who are convicted differently, however!

Dan- I think that kind of gluttony is okay…maybe once a year

Alan – I loved your post for this month!

Jarred – I hope you get to go. I think it is more fun as an adult!

It sounds like your first trick-or-treating experience was fantastic. There is a chance I may be making the rounds with a friend’s kids this year, as she can’t and it’s not clear whether their father will be available to take them out. It should be fun!

I’m also loving Dan’s comment about gluttony. But then, I’m also thinking that surely there might be some positive spiritual outcomes of having a good time with friends, no?

Reba,

You said: “I am not saying that everything that goes on around Halloween is good…” Yeah… and everything that goes on around “Fall Festivals” is not good either. Thanks for this post! It seems that several of us had similar ideas.
