How timely. Thank you for this, Skip. Just this morning, I saw this news:

How in the world will we excuse this kind of idolatry when we face our Creator? The above article filled me with disgust at our (how dare we call it) ‘culture’! Indeed, we are the frogs in boiling water – thinking we can still jump out ‘whenever we want’.
I’m with you! Yuck! I didn’t celebrate halloween as a child, and my children don’t celebrate it now either. I use the holiday sales as a chance to stock up on candy for my classroom, and this year, to buy swords for my boys to play with (Yes, I’m that mom – the one who lets her boys be boys and play with toy swords and weapons). 🙂 It’s a great time to get props for plays if you’re a teacher or parent, but the holiday itself is disgusting. IMHO. 🙂
Blessed is the man who walks not in the council of the ungodly, nor stand in the way of sinners, or sit in the seat of the scornful, but his delight is in the law of the lord, and on HIS LAW DOES HE MedITATE BOTH DAY AND NIGHT. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of waters that bringet forth his fruit in season, all that he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so but are like the chaff that the wind blows away. The sinner shall not stand in judgement nor sinners in the congregationwith the righteous for the lord knows the way of the righteous, but the ways of the ungodly man shall perish. Psalms 1:1-6
amen and amen
