You are Proverbs
You are Proverbs.


Which book of the Bible are you?

I would agree with that.
Thanks for the link Mark, pretty neat.

Ok so I really should be writing my research paper right now, but I needed a break. Its not due for another two weeks anyway- plenty of time right? I had a long weekend and got very little homework done, but had great fellowship with some friends from our College YG. We had 7 people go on the mystery road trip; ended up and a A&M (Texas college) football game, and considering I know nothing about football and thus have very little interest in it, the day was great. I am glad that I went because of the people I went with and the fun we had together.

Sunday was great, the sermon was on remembering the heroes of the faith that have gone before us and modeling our faith like them, but not putting them on the pedestal- they were still redeemed sinners just like us. He also mentioned about the original context of Halloween and how Nov 1 was the day set about o remember the deceased saints, or All Saints Day. Then, people began celebrating on the night before which was All Saints Eve, which eventually became Hallowed Eve, which became Halloween. And as the name changed so did the focus and thus you get the holiday that many are celebrating right now.
Satan is so crafty at taking the good and twisting it to his purposes. There are so many people who think that just dressing up and getting candy is ok as long as you don't do anything scary. I can understand where they are coming from , but I think that you must be very careful because the underlying current of the holiday is evil. It is the day when the world embraces all things that are scary, evil, the witches, skeletons, and even the saying of "trick or treat" did you ever stop and think what you are saying? Well, I'll get off my soapbox now. I know that there are other opinions and that if you feel you are standing strong or just doing it for the candy that its fine, and I don't want to argue. I just hope that people will think more carefully about what they are supporting- openly or just by default.

And with that I will sign off and try to finish some homework before bed. Have a full day of classes tomorrow.

This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. I am a Bible believing born-again Jesus Follower. I have dedicated my life to His service and to the furthering of His Kingdom. Through the many trials and unknowns in this life, there is one constant that we can depend on- Jesus Christ and His Holy Word. I take comfort in His arms and trust Him to guide my path.
