Matthew 5:38-42

Matthew 5:38-42 is called Retaliation, and what Jesus says is that if someone sues us for our jacket, we should give him/her are shoes to, and if someone hits us, we should just turn the other cheek and let them slap us again.  So in our times i think it means, that if someone makes fun of you, dont just make fun of them back, just take it and move on with your life.  I have to say it is kinda hard when someone makes fun of you, not to turn around and make fun of them or say a "your momma joke."  And its hard when someone hits you, not to hit them back.  so it will take me a little to get use to not retaliate but i will start to try my best.

Halloween!

Is Halloween a good holiday or a bad one?

Well from what i remember since i was little i would always go trick or treating around my neighbor with my little brother and my dad and sometimes my mom.  I dont remember my parents or my church telling me that Halloween was a bad thing, like it was a pagan holiday or something. that instead it was a time to go have fun and get candy.  And then in recent years i have been helping my church put on a Halloween party thing for all the little kids in my church and then for some of the other kids in Enid.

I think this article is mostly wrong because its saying that most churches know nothing and can do nothing, and instead the church would have a  " Harvest party or a Fall Festival—different titles for everything you wanted to do on Halloween."  Which i think is not true, cause my church throughs a Halloween party at my church and my youth group and i help them set everything up and plays games with the little kids that come in and we try to show Christ in everything we do on Halloween. 
But that just me.

i like Halloween cause its a fun holiday that you get to dress up as crazy people and you give candy to kids and they have a blast
