Is it really "ok" to celebrate Halloween?

Is it really "ok" to celebrate Halloween? The answer is no. Let me tell you why because there's things that people need to know from a Christian and Non-Christian point of view. Yes, I'm a Born Again Believer filled w/ the Holy Spirit. I don't call myself a Christian, but, that's a different topic for later. From the Word of God, witchcraft of all kinds have been an abomination to God because God does not operate the way people want Him to through magic potions and spells. It's all Demonic and you conjure up Demons when you do that. Using bones, tools, and "magic boards" of all types brings Demons into your home or where ever it is used. There are movies and t.v. shows that show these things and even though Hollywood brings this stuff to light, a lot of what they show is real. Demonic spirits are real. The Bible(The Word of God), tells us how they came about and where they dwell to this day. When using devices like boards and tools to cast spells or to conjure up a spirit, the demonic spirits show up. They let you know that they are real and they help people who do witchcraft carry out their wishes. In the end, they kill you and send you to Hell. Now, from a non-Christian point of view. Have you ever experienced living in a house that was haunted or been somewhere where it just didn't "feel" right? If you have or know someone that has, or watched t.v. shows like "A Haunting" and "Paranormal Whitness", then you know that ghost and demonic spirits are real. I too have had all kinds of experiences with spirits. I was told by my parents that I was born with a "veil over my eyes". It's a term used for saying that you have the gift to see spirits, both evil and God's angels(human too). These things that people experience are what people celebrate every year on Halloween. Was your expereience funny? Did it make you feel like you wanted to expereience it again and again? If not, then you know not to have anything to do with Halloween. In the shows like the ones I mentioned, tell their true life, scary experiences to let other people know that this is real and its not funny. What they went through could have taken their life. This is what people want to celebrate every year as a fun thing and its not funny or fun to go through that. In history, Halloween came about through Irish mercenaries who lost loved ones and friends and wanted to conjure up their spirits to see and talk to them, again. They chanted spells, used tools and boards to do this. Whether it worked or not(I believe it did), it caused St. Patrick and other Christian evangelists to run them out of Ireland, therefore spreading the witchcraft to other parts of the world. This is why you also shouldn't run to mediums(for people who don't know, a medium is someone who claims they can conjure up spirits of dead people and talk to them for themselves or for you.) The Word of God tells us to run from people who do those things. Psychics, Soothsayers(who uses sun, moon, and stars to predict your future), Palm Readers, and Mediums were destroyed by King David in the Bible. God told him to do this. Its all witchcraft and we are not to use it in any way or go to people who use it. When you celebrate Halloween, you're telling the Devil that you want him in your home, whether you throw a Halloween party or just go trick-or-treating. If strange things start to happen in your home after you have celebrated Halloween, ask yourself if its worth going through the things people have gone through after living in a real haunted house. You don't have to live in a haunted house to experience these things. It happens everywhere you go. I can tell you all of my experiences, but that would be a very, very long blog! When Halloween comes, and you feel you should still celebrate it after reading my blog, then do it. Just don't blame me for anything strange happening in your house, later!

The "N" Word

Everyone wants to talk about Paula Deen and how she has been using the "N" word. Believe me, I'm glad she got caught. After it came out about that, there was talk about it everywhere on the news and on news specials. I'm glad there has been a discussion about it, but, as I was watching this "buzz" on t.v. about it, I wondered if anybody know who else is, not only using that word, but, also calling us African-Americans that, too. It was not mentioned anywhere that another race of people are too, calling us that in a derotigative way. Well, let me break my silence about that. Hispanics in their communities has also been calling us the "N" word and has been bold enough to say it in our faces!!  I live in Fresno, Ca, where I have been experiencing this for a while.  A few yrs. ago(4 or 5), my neighbor was helping me move to a new house(I was living with my father at that time). While we were at a stop light, a group of Mexican guys in their car next to us, saw us and called us the "N" word. They then stared at us to see if we were going to say anything or do something about it. They also gave us this "look" as if to let us know not to do anything about it or else. Another experience was when I was walking down the street. A group of Mexican boys(a different group and younger than the other ones), saw me and started talking out loud about this "N****H" and that they were going to do something about this "N****H"!! I was wise not to say anything. AND yesterday, when I was on the city bus going back to my uncle's house, these Mexican boys was on the bus saying, "you're my "N****H" over and over again. When I looked back, one of them was watching me as if to tell me, I dare you to say or do something about it. I think this is the result of White America raising the Hispanic people over African-Americans. White America has always wanted the African-Americans to stay at the bottom of the totem pole in America. They seperated us from our Native American brothers and sisters and now in the early 1990's, they have done it, again(I saw it on Dateline NBC). They have promised the Hispanic community all over America everything on a silver platter if they claim "Latina" instead of their African roots and if they drop their African-American friends and take care of their own people in their communities. It worked. Hispanics took the "bait", so to speak. They are now in t.v. and movies like ants on candy, they have taken over American businesses and opening their own at the same time. Fresno claims that this city is very diverse, it is NOT!!! If you ever come to Fresno, Ca, you will see other races of people, but, its like they're in the shadows. You'll mostly see Hispanics everywhere you go. Doctor's offices, banks, and grocery stores are now mostly Hispanic, and these are American based businesses! Racism is now being throwed at us by Hispanics and I guarantee you that White America knows this, already, they're just not saying anything about it. I came across a young Hispanic girl a few yrs. ago(about 6yrs. ago), and she had "I hate Black people" written on her binder. Not only did I talk to this girl, but I got to talk to her about Christ's love for all people. I love people, all people! I'm very upset about the way things have gone in this country, but God knows what to do about it, so, no worries. Yes, just in case you're wondering, I do have Hispanic friends and I'm friendly with them. I'm just not into this "Latina" craze that other people are into. I see it all the time on t.v., especially with celebrities who are not Hispanic. They just seem to go googoo gaga over them and I don't understand why. I only have one Hipanic actress I really like and that's Eva Mendes. For some reason, she's different and you can see a lot of African in her. I just wanted to let everyone know what is happening in Fresno, Ca, but I guarantee you, too, that its happening everywhere else in your hometown!!!
