I honestly don't think everyone has to redefine the day. But some of us do see the value in taking the day back from the enemy and using the opportunity to glorify Christ.

Ignoring Christian history and how God's church fell into apostasy and was restored through various reformations and revivals isn't necessary. In fact... it leads to a generation whose faith is divorced from history and reality, left to only be defined by a pastor for them.  |
I don't know what that has to do with Halloween though.

Had a very tender filet and grilled shrimp at Outback last night.

Taking a day back from the enemy? Sounds like a waste of time. You can glorify Him on any day. Nobody owns a day...and in order to take it back it would have had to be yours to begin with and then stolen.
Its just a day. Do what you want

Maybe this is why I also HATE fiery preaching. Our old pastor used to say after a hellfire and brimstone shout fest "You just had dessert! Haa haa haaa haa!". I suppose the analogy fits since BOTH are void of ANY nutrients, and both rot your teeth.

Re: Halloween
If you don't hand out Treats, isn't it customary to have a Trick handy. Ya'll didn't like my Trick? They probably wouldn't notice the finger until they were just about to ring the doorbell. You'd hear children screaming and running.
It reminds me of the Halloween we had growing up. I was playing scary music on our organ. My older sister was dressed as a witch handing out candy while my other sisters were on the roof dropping kittens on the unsuspecting children. They were screaming while running down the driveway.

LOL! Have you ever dropped a cat? They ALWAYS land on their feet. It's just amazing.
So, should I attach a finger to my doorbell or what?
