...Halloween. This can be an interesting time for Christians. On the one hand there are no shortage of opinions as to how a Christian family should observe the day - if at all. On the other hand, there are probably even more Christians out there who have never even stopped to think about it. What do you do? Do you head to your local Church "Fall Festival" for some homemade carnival booths and candy? Do you head out to trick or treat your neighbors? Do you shy away from the spooky and talk about Reformation Day? Or do you avoid the latter part of October entirely and get an early start on Thanksgiving?

What are we doing, you ask? Well, tonight we are headed to the Denver Zoo for Boo at the Zoo! We will be bundled up, walking from candy station to candy station while keeping an eye out for nocturnal critters. Despite the fact that it will likely be somewhere in the 30's and 40's (better than Wednesday when we got about 8 inches of snow!) we are looking forward to it. We've got an awesome double stroller that is totally weather-proof for the girls to snuggle in if need be, and Alison and I like to wear winter clothes, so it should be all good.

But what about Halloween night? Honestly, I am not sure yet. But as long as you keep God at the center of your heart and mind at all times, any time can be redeemed!

Be safe.
