What is going on with the time...just passing us by!

WOW how fast time flies! It's Halloween tomorrow (did you go out and dress up?)and November already! You know that Jay and I actually saw Christmas trees for sale at Fortinos this Saturday! And then on Sunday we went into Carlton Cards and Hallmark and they didn't even have Halloween stuff!!! It was all Christmas! IN OCTOBER!!!! Ok, usually I would be the first to be excited at the thought of Christmas but this is a little early for the stores to be bombarding us with their manipulative sales tactics reinforcing the pagan version of the holiday... On the other hand.... IT'S AWESOME to be able to start thinking of Jesus' birthday this early! Maybe all this extra thinking about Christmas will give us more opportunity to think of what God would really have us do this Christmas. Should we celebrate it as usual? Is there a family that we can sponsor? Someone's life that we can touch? Hmmmm, so many things to contemplate...
