I have heard that your posts have jumped the shark.

Fezzik,

Thanks for the response. You have compelled me to learn a new phrase. Interesting. I thought the characterization of 'plundering the Phillistines' was funny. Just trying to spread the joy.

Not sure actually. I take Halloween at face value and always look forward it. Taking the kids thru the pumpkin patch, carving, dressing up and trick or treating. My youngest has a calendar where he has been counting down the days.

I was asked this week by a family relatively new to our church "Pastor, should we let our kids dress up in costume at school next week?"

I told him t was ultimately a family decision; I asked what KIND of costumes... witches, goblins, hatchets in the head ghouls? Sponge Bob? I (personally) don't like to see the dark side glorified, even in fun. But does anyone really think kids are selling their souls to satan if they dress like a cheerleader, take a bag to the mall and get a bunch of free candy? :shock:

Off topic, but I don't let my kid watch SpongeBob. He's just too salty (and that's no pun intended). Talking about butts and all. I really don't want my kid saying that stuff (if she does, she'll get it from me and I take full blame for it, but I can't control what SB says).

I thought ALL kids talked about butts and all... boogers, snot, puke... and, for me, the word "butt" is the least objectionable alternative to what I hear tiny kids here saying. :shock:

But, this is my sweetie-bear! :lol:

And, she talks about it, for sure. We all just get a big hoot from poots and what not.

All I know is I'm dressing up as N.T. Wright. If others can act like him, why can't I?
