As noted previously, LightGirl had hockey practice on Halloween evening. So she and I participated in a long standing tradition.
We drove through a local Chic-fil-a for dinner on our way to practice. She got a sandwich, fries and a lemonade. I got a chargrilled wrap and a rootbeer.
Now it so happens that as one drives out of the drive through slot of this Chic-fil-a one is catty corner to the end of a strip mall, the tail of which is a Panera. Standing on the corner as we drove out yesterday evening were three older teens … maybe even pushing 20. They were dressed for the evening … in costume.
“Hey, Mom, look. There’s an angel and a devil and Jesus on the corner by Panera. And look! That’s really funny. Jesus is smoking.”
“Well, how do you know that’s Jesus?”
“I don’t know Mom, but I think the crown of thorns gives it away, don’t you?”
“Yes, yes I do.”

So, what better place for Him to be?
