What are you doing this Halloween?
A few days back I was chatting with my sister-in-law about Halloween and it's pagan origins. I was wondering if it should be something that, as Christians, we take a stance of non-participation on. She then forwarded me an article which had some intersting information about the pagan origins, along with the attempt to Christianze the celebration by moving All Hallows Eve to the same date. I still wasn't sure what I thought about all that and then I found another article. There is an article about Halloween over at Grace To You which I really enjoyed: Christians and Halloween.

This is what our family focus on during this day.
