I never got to do Halloween, well I mean I got to go trick or treating like twice in my life, maybe three times. My mom seemed to be really good at hiding when it was from me. I don't know why, they let both of my younger siblings participate in the festivities now. Things must have been different back that, you know before people started putting drugs and stuff in the candy they were giving out. (I made that up, I have no way of backing that statement up, other then saying I heard it from someone once, Probably the news and you know how reliable that is). But, either way I was deprived from the trick or treating fun that all the other kids got to take part in. I don't really know how I feel about the holiday now, I'm not sure if my kids will be allowed to trick or treat. I will probably make that decision when the time comes. I guess we will see.

That kind of leads me into something that I learned today. The first chapter of Ephesians talks a little about the people in Ephesus, who Paul says he thanks God for them and prays that God will give them wisdom, revelation, and understanding of Him. This is really cool, mostly because of yesterdays post and what I have been learning about using your mind to love God. I have decided that I will pray for people in this way. That they will have wisdom and understanding of God and to seek Him daily. That they would truly love God with all their mind. I want to see myself and others start doing that. We would really start making a difference for the kingdom then.

That's what went through my head today.

Thanks,
