HAPPY HALLOWEEN! or HAPPY SAINTS DAY! or HAPPY DAY of the DEAD!

Seriously, I know Obie blogged about this a while ago... but, since it's "the day", I need to talk about it now. I think it's sad that there are more people in costumes in my corporation than there are in the schools. My VP is a mailman, how awesome is that? Someone just walked by as one of the guys in Cool Runnings. Awesome costumes, hands down. You can't argue about that....lol

Don't get me wrong, I know what it's all about, and I am not ignorant to the evil that happens on this day. Let's face it though, if people aren't serving God, they're serving him anyway. I know that the sacrifices and worship that is given to the evil one is more than just service, but I think so many times we forget how many people serve him ignorantly on a daily basis.

I read somewhere how the true meaning of "Hallow" "ween" means saints day. Although, I am not of Catholic beliefs or any that tend to put particular saints in elevated places, I think this is a good interpretation, and a good thing we should do. After all, we can all technically be "saints" and we are saints. Yet, remembering things that people have done as witnesses for Christ is encouraging to our souls, minds, and hearts. It's just like reading a book of Jesus Freaks or Foxes Book of Martyrs. These are modern day "saints" as well.

In the same token. As quirky as the "Dia de los muertos" is, God can still use it.

So, here's to Halloween, after all, every day, every single day, is a day that we are called to celebrate and worship God and be grateful for. So, whether we celebrate in costumes of Patty O'Green (like myself) or as a postman or simply as a girl that tells others about Jesus (like Taylor W.), we can celebrate in our spirit and with our friends. I hope to see everyone tonight at the Harvest Festival. :)
