"It is a night when Christians look forward to the day when the victory secured at the resurrection will be seen in all its consummate outworking"

… definitely trying too hard. Why not just ignore the whole halloween thing entirely? (We have every Sunday for looking forward to the victory secured at the resurrection, etc.)

Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.

Kids (my neighbors’ kids) come to the door and I give them candy. I say “hi” to the parents and we connect.

I turn off the porch light at 8:00 p.m. and that ends it.
