Poems of cuteness!
There were some great reflections on all that came to the door on Halloween. We had this from Jill Scoggins:
Student’s toddler as
a cow. So stinkin’ cute! Her
giggles made my day.

IPLawGuy, I admire this kid (see picture of me above)!:
Last minute, half ass
Kid wearing a cardboard box
Brazen, made me laugh.

And Anonymous saw some real cuteness:
Cutest ladybug
Red with black spots, tiny hat
Smile that melts my heart.

Sunday Reflection: After Tuesday
On Tuesday, one candidate will win and one will lose. There will be spiritual crises for some on the losing side. The race has been so tied up with identity that it will be hard not to feel that identity challenged-- and, if we are honest, because our principles and identity are tied up with our faith, it could challenge that as well. After all, if principle so clearly shows one candidate should win, who are we when they don''t?
And that is when religion will have to be more than politics.
Hopefully, as with any moment of crisis, faith can help us transcend hardship and understand those things that are hard to understand. After all, the entire faith grew up under a hostile regime, something that the Bible describes often. (And yes, I realize that many Christians don't see Trump as hostile to faith, but that will have to be another post).

Haiku Friday: At the Door
It's the day after Halloween, and at least some of us got to see some kids come to the door. What good costumes did you see? (I know we did a personal favorite costume of our own last week, but this is about them, not you). It can be from another year if you didn't get the experience this year. Here, I will go first:
A green witch appeared
With terrifying visage
Genuine deep fear.
Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern and have some fun!
