All the other believer sites are posting about Halloween today. If you're expecting that, go back and read an OLD POST to hear my thoughts on the matter. My last word on the subject: I'll come to a Harvest Carnival when you rename it a Halloween party like it really is. You ain't foolin' me, and I don't truck no fancy euphemisms.All of that a digression to the real subject at hand: I love that God loves the unexpected.
From His perspective, nothing is unexpected, obviously -- one of the many benefits of being omniscient (another benefit is not having to worry about what will happen at the end of a tense sporting event). But because we can't see the bigger picture, some of the details pop up into our faces and we're left wondering where did that come from? And I think in moments like that, He smiles and then watches to see how we react, and watches to see whether or not we are starting to get it, and watches to see whether or not our focus starts becoming less myopic, and watches to see that moment, that wonderful moment when realization dawns upon our small minds and we see, we see, we really see.

We missed you at the Harvest Carnival, brother.
Names are important. We weren't celebrating the 'Hallowed Eve' of All Saints Day, even if there were games and candy and costumes. We were attempting to harvest some of the souls that God sent through our doors.
Maybe next year you can participate. At least you know how to spell 'euphemism', no small accomplishment. :)
