Everyone is getting out their Halloween decorations and what not, right? Ghosts and blood and skeletons. And bloody ghosts and skeletons. Don't ask me why people celebrate death. My answer's just as good as yours. People celebrate death for all sorts of reasons. The real question is why don't some people put up Halloween decorations. Personally, I don't because I think it's gory and ugly. It's scary, and pointless. I don't believe in ghosts or live skeletons, so why should I put them up for display.
Lots of kids love Halloween, and you know why. Candy. And maybe dressing up. But mostly candy.
So when adults love Halloween, I wonder why. Most adults don't dress up, and not many go trick-or-treating. I think they love Halloween just because they get to display bloody creatures. It sounds strange to say it out loud, but it's the truth.
I'm not saying you shouldn't celebrate Halloween, but don't let it become a priority to celebrate something you don't even believe in. You could be giving someone the wrong idea about what you believe and don't believe in.
Celebrate the happy things: candy, cute kids in even cuter costumes (just kidding), meeting new people, and going to parties
Happy Halloween!

Rejoice in the Lord
Hello, again! Let's start with a bible verse.

We should always be rejoicing in the Lord.

The Lord always comes through, always keeps his promises, and never stops loving you.
He is crazy about you. He made you just the way you are.
Did you know that angels rejoice in the Lord every second of every day? They have been rejoicing in him longer that you and I have even lived! They never stop rejoicing, and each time they say,"Holy, holy, holy," They get closer to the Lord! That is how amazing the Lord is!

Letting Go
Welcome! Let's jump right in to God's Word!
God said that every time we ask for forgiveness, he will not only forgive us, but he will also forget about our forgiven sin! We are truly blessed and should be grateful for this.
Read these bible verses:
Psalm 130:4
Matthew 26:28
The above verses show just how much God cares about us, which is a LOT. He died on a tree for me and you!
So, if you ever ask for forgiveness, remember that he will forget about your past mistake and still love you, like always.
Keep checking my blog every once in a while for more!

Enjoying Life
Hello, and welcome! Today is all about enjoying life.
Read these bible verses:
Job 33:28
Ecclesiastes 8:15
God loves everyone, including me and you. He made us. He adores us, and we should adore him.
If God created us, then wouldn't he want us to enjoy life? The answer is yes! Life is sacred because what you do here on earth will determine a lot. I don't just mean your future, I mean everyone's future, because you can change people's lives.
We shouldn't stress, worry, or life in doubt or fear, because the world is amazing. It's beautiful, and God created every bit of it. He wants you to live and love. When you live in a world this outstanding, missing out would be awful.
God keeps his promises. Always.

Blessings are important, too.

Introduction
Hi! My name is Rachel. I'm a thirteen year-old eighth grader, and I love to write, act, sing, dance, and play my guitar- the typical teen, right?
Anyway, this blog is for you, not me, or the president, or anyone else. It's for you. If you feel like reading more, go ahead.
Don't think it's strange to read a blog written by someone younger than yourself. Even if you are older than me, it's fine. I don't mind. I like it when people listen to me, and you probably do too. So... if you have a question (about ANYTHING) let me know, because I'll answer it.
Thanks for reading! Adios!
(P.S. Here's a comic just because...)
