I know this is a long video, but please watch it before reading on...
When I first started watching this video, I didn't get too upset- thinking that it wasn't that big of a deal, what harm could it really do. But by the very end, where it shows the doll saying it over and over again, I was in tears. The Holy Spirit laid in my heart: "This is a big deal! It could really do harm! This could be the only message some children hear!" If we, as Christians, want our children to know the one and only Truth, this should outrage us, break our hearts, bother us tremendously. I am not saying that we should boycott Fisher Price because they won't recall the doll, Disney World because they have a "gay/lesbian" day, Applebees because... (The list could go on and on.) I am saying that, like the preacher mentioned, we are under spiritual attack. It is our job to proclaim the truth- not by sitting at the computer just shaking our heads and saying a little prayer, but by going out into our community and sharing the real truth, proclaiming Who the light really is. I am so tired of seeing and hearing things like this and doing nothing. I am so tired of leaving it up to "more qualified" Christians to witness. I am so tired of being a luke-warm Christian. Are you?
I am sharing this video; I am going to find a way to contact Fisher Price; and I am going to tell everyone I know Who the light really is!
1 John 1:5- "This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: GOD IS LIGHT; in Him there is no darkness at all."
1 John 1:7- "But if we walk in the light, AS HE IS IN THE LIGHT, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin."
Psalm 27:1- "THE LORD IS MY LIGHT and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?"
Psalm 36:9- "For with You is the fountain of life; IN YOUR LIGHT WE SEE LIGHT."
Micah 7:8- "...the LORD will be my light."
1 John 1:5- "This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: GOD IS LIGHT; in Him there is no darkness at all."

Halloween Night:
My cousin, Melissa and her family hosted a fun, family Halloween party. We had a blast dressing up, eating and trick-or-treating!
Melissa and her family...
Hey everyone! I have received several emails from my wonderful bloggy friends asking where in the world I have been. Well, to make a long story short, I have been having computer problems since October. My mom (a.k.a. the computer doctor) fixed it, and I used it for 2 days before another problem arose. It is an old, outdated computer, so she is in the process updating it. Isn't she wonderful?! I should have an improved computer soon and will be back in blog land. I have really missed all of you and reading your blogs- I will have a lot of catching up to do! Keep checking in for posts on Halloween, hiking trips, family pictures and more!
Love and miss you all,
Amy
