I know from personal experience reclaiming Halloween for Jesus is a great idea. There was an old lady on my block who gave us Chick Tracts on Halloween and a couple weeks later I was catching a draft from a crack in the wall. It was going down my ear, which, as you know, hurts a bit. I looked around, found the tracts, and put them in the wall crack. This saved my ear and I learned that God works in mysterious ways. I’d reclaim Halloween for Jesus and hand out tracts, but I’m too lazy to clean up all that toilet paper. ---

It’s the same annual Stupid. Soon we will also have our annual War On Christmas Stupid too. Some Stupids just can’t leave anything alone. They have no life. They are terrified that someone out there might be having a good time. They are absolutely miserable and worthless, and feel some sick and twisted compulsion to make everyone else miserable too. ---
