As I’ve mentioned before, Halloween isn’t my favorite “holiday”…I’m just not into it, as a rule.
But, I am into connecting with people. I am into seeing children smile. I am into being able to invite them to C3 where they will hear about the story and love of God!
So, I’m looking at Halloween a little differently tonight.
I’m happily packing up bags (…and bags…) of candy with “Boo Cards” telling families about our children’s programs at C3. I’m happily planning on sitting on my front porch for hours waiting to “ooh and aah” over all the little princesses and super heroes. I’m even happily preparing myself for the random teen/young adult who will love to see my horrified expression at their “undead” costume…
I’m not into all the trappings of Halloween…but I am “into” meeting families where they are -
….and - hopefully - tonight, “where they are” will include MY FRONT PORCH!! 
I’ll keep the light on….
Peace.
i’m not going to write a lot tonight…i’m too tired - and at 8:00 it’s an after-thought anyway. today was another work day - i spent an hour up to my elbows in bleach before i remembered why i switched to non-toxic, organic cleaners a while back: I’M ALLERGIC TO BLEACH! (of course, i’m “allergic” to most of the developed world…i should just live in a bubble like that movie in the 70’s…)
anyway, i’m tired now. my skin is burning and my eyes are on fire and my lungs feel like i’ve gargled acid…..but, besides that i feel fine.
so, we had pizza for dinner - i really need to cook a real meal soon or “they” may show up and take away my mother-of-the-year award….oh yeah, i never got one of those in the first place! (i’ve been “twittering” all day that i’m kind of grouchy - so you’ve been warned!)
of course, it’s all worth it for tomorrow night - “Girl’s Night Out” is going to be so fun! If you haven’t heard about it, READ HERE.
but, for now, i’m just going to try to get to bed at a decent hour…..
at least i voted today, so that’s done!
well, i’ve got nothing else…
peace like a river…
