Halloween is one of my favorite events. I loved it as a kid, and I still like it as an adult. I know there are great Christian leaders who disagree with my enjoyment of the day, but let me tell you why I like it.
Reason #1 – One day a year (not on Christmas or Easter), my neighbors put down the draw bridge over their virtual motes that surround their home, and invite people to ring their door and chat.
Reason #2 – Grown ups and kids are smiling as they share gifts with each other
Reason #3 – I get to walk around with some great people and get to know them. Here is a listing of the people, I connected with while “trick or treating”.
- Karst
- Shelby
- Nadalia
- Stephanie
- Carla
- Yoli
- Jake
- Josh
- Brian
How can we be salt and light to people if we are not touching them to be salt and out in the darkness with them to be light?
That’s great, Mark! I thoroughly enjoyed the trick-or-treaters that came to my door!
Awesome thoughts! Great to read that someone else thinks the same way I do. I wrote an Evotion about the same thing last Halloween.

Just because you can find someone as crazy as you does not mean you are not crazy.
Thanks, Paul for taking the time to comment.
To everyone else…. If you haven’t read Paul’s stuff, take the time to leave some tracks on his web. http://www.thatyouththing.com
