• To be grateful is to recognize the Love of God in everything He has given us - and He has given us everything. Every breath we draw is a gift of His love, every moment of existence is a grace, for it brings with it immense graces from Him. Gratitude therefore takes nothing for granted, is never unresponsive, is constantly awakening to new wonder and to praise of the goodness of God. For the grateful person knows that God is good, not by hearsay but by experience. And that is what makes all the difference.

That broom definitely looks better for riding than sweeping. Don't know which is scarier...the pumpkins or the dilapidated house behind them.
Boo is an interesting syllable and it seems to go to many negative things-boohoo; booboo; boob; boozer; boom; bamboozle can you think of any more?
Of course it also goes to boots, booth, bamboo, boost and boon, which aren't negative.
I don't like scary things no matter what time of year it is. I just don't understand how people can watch horror movies when even jack-o-lanterns creep me out.
