It is my favorite time of year. I love the crisp weather, the tart apples, the colorful leaves. The only part that brings me down is Halloween. It is the remains of an ancient pagan ritual that has been packaged as a family event. Don t be fooled.
Witches are real.
As Christians, we need to use discernment in dealing with Halloween. I have allowed my children to make simple costumes such as bunny rabbits and ballet dancers and knock on the next door neighbor s door for candy. Beyond that, I have some real concerns. Scary costumes scare children. That is psychologically damaging.
