@motherof3, typical religious critisism I see. I bet your very judgemental towards people. What about when Jesus said, its not the healthy that need the Doc its the sick, meaning he would have to go to the sick. Anyways, I'm a worship leader and I will be leading a "Christian" rock concert tonight at Gatesvilles annual Boozar. Yes I said christian. It will be from 6pm-8pm at Gatesville's courthouse square. The Boozar is one of of Gatesville's biggest events. There will be vendors and free candy for the kids. This will be the first time they have asked a christian worship team to play at this event.Oh and Motherof3, dont forget, its not about religion, its about a relationship with Jesus. With your attitude you will allways push people away from Him.

Motherof3, Maybe you need to look at what you said a little more closely... You said it's the Devil's holiday and then referred to it has Hallow's Eve? I'm sure you realize the All Hallow's Eve actually MEANS the Night of the Holy! Many of us celebrate the Holiness of this holiday as a night to remember those who lived Holy lives and passed on to be with our Father in Heaven.
