the beatitudes

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inheret the earth
This is one of the beatitudes that Jesus preached on the mountainside to the crowds below.  That's also what today's blog is about.  I am going to tell you about at least three of these beatitudes, starting with the one above.  I'm not sure if I am doing this assignment correctly, because Mr. Mendenhalls instructions were a little confusing.  Blessed are the meek, Jesus said.  People who are meek are people who don't have a lot of pride.  They don't show off or anything like that and are ready to help others.  When Jesus says 'for they shall inheret the earth', I believe He is talking of the New Earth that will come after the Second Coming of Jesus.  Another beatitude Jesus taught went like:"Blessed are the poor in spirit, For they shall be comforted." When Jesus says,'Blessed are the poor in spirit,' I think he is talking about those who just have hard lives.  I don't think it just means people who are poor in money. 'For they shall be comforted', God will bring them comfort.  And one more beatitude Jesus said:"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Those who are pure in heart are people who always sought to do the right thing.  They sought to have pure thoughts and actions.  It's those people who will go to heaven to see God.  And that concludes today's blog.

Halloween

Hello bloggers, this is a blog about Halloween.  The holiday were the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest.  I think people like to celebrate halloween because people like to step outside of their boundaries and get scared.  But is it right spiritually?  That depends.  'Cause if you think about it, halloween was invented by Christians a long time ago.  It was made for Saints, I think.  But why do people think it's evil?  I guess because some people think it is an act of the Devil.  I honestly think it is O.K. if you don't associate with anything demonic during Halloween (i.e. demonic costumes ect.).  Someone has pointed out; however, something like, 'If there were a holiday on Hitler's birthday, would you celebrate?'.  I don't think it's the same thing.  If you celebrate Halloween just for the candy, well really there ain't nothin' wrong with that.  Non-christians celebrate Christmas just for the presents, don't they?  If you disagree, say so and tell me why.  I would like to know more about why Christians don't celebrate Halloween.
