Re: What have you done to ruin Halloween?
Brother Nobar, you've given me the most wonderful idea!
Every year, on Good Friday, I set out my motion-sensor-controlled Passion scene. It plays the sounds of Jesus making His great temporary Sacrifice (thanks, Mel Gibson!) whenever someone walks by . . . loudly enough to hear a few houses away.
My neighbors say they love it so much, that they always walk by to admire it from across the street the whole time it's up (until Easter Sunday). That way, they say, they can take in the whole display! Sadly, they rarely trip the motion sensors that way.
Anyway, it's probably not the best idea to install my lifesize scene (I include the two thieves) before Satan's Birthday -- it'd get vandalized. Someone would probably put a hockey mask on Jesus and a machete in his hand, a Freddy sweater on one thief and a witch costume on the other.
So, I'm just going to hide the speakers and the motion sensors outside, and turn them on at dusk on Halloween. Then, any trick-or-treaters wandering by on the sidewalk will get a blast of REAL Holy Day sounds, Jesus' echoing screams of agony, the flogging, the pounding in of the nails, and the evil cackling of the Jews!

) I have never had to contemplate such intervention before. So I thought the best thing to do, would be to pray on it and as usual, God ANSWERED my selfless PRAYERS!
