(from Psalm 149) Today is Halloween! A time to pretend you are someone else for a few hours. Children in costumes will be dancing down the sidewalk for Trick or Treat or down the street in Halloween parades. There is a saying, "Dance as if no one is watching." to which you could add, "or in costume so no one knows it's you." Or sing! One year we had a group of trick or treaters who sang to us before asking for their treats! Sometimes we put out a “basket of books” (children’s picture books instead of candy) that we purchased at our library book sale. That's a new idea. Sing, new, praise and dancing. That is what our Psalm is about today. Things we can do everyday; not just on Halloween. -- Alice Yeakel
