    I grew up in a Christian household that very much did Halloween and magic and witch shows, etc. I was saved at 12 and took a stance against it. By the time I had children, I went along with church trunk or treats and costumes against my better judgement to please grandparents on both sides. The motto I always heard was its all in good fun. I tried year after year to pull my kids away from the Halloween season and magic shows. Finally since 2020, Ive put my foot down and we have quit Halloween. Im also glad on the finance side of things because costumes for a large family is a huge waste of money. Im still the only adult in my family that stands against Halloween, but I know based on personal conviction and the verse that tells us to have nothing to do with witchcraft and evil, I'm doing the right thing for my kids. I will admit, I'm on the side of good conquering evil in things like Narnia is ok as long as you explain the meaning behind the story. Thank you for speaking up about this topic when so many won't and for sharing your opinion.

      That took courage, good for you! We agree with you on these things- we do not do Halloween or anything scary really for that matter. God has not given us a spirit of fear! We should only fear Him in reverence and awe!

    Hi! I watched all those shows before I was a Christian. I wouldn't now though. I see how Hollywood slips this in to our thoughts and our children's minds; it's evil pure and simple.
    I think the wall color is fine. You could always go lighter next time...
    Take care girl. Thanks for your videos😁

      I agree that Hollywood, meaning mainstream movies, seems to have a desire to push evil! I think it’s super important to research the origin of some of the stories before we come to a general conclusion. Most of the time, the book is better! An example of this would be Charles Martin’s book, A Mountain Between Us. The book was much better than what they did to the movie!
      Thanks for commenting!

    LOTR is my favorite book ever and I’ve read it numerous times and will continue to do so. There is much value in this book as a Christian or non-Christian. I think the movies are good quality however based on what I’ve read about “the series”, I would not even remotely watch that smut. Of course, being grounded in the Word gives everyone discernment and conviction over what we expose ourselves to and what we expose our children to. Hollywood is a beast that feels like its main purpose is to send you to hell. Bram Stoker’s Dracula is an excellent example. Every movie I’ve ever watched about “Dracula” is EVIL! Yet, the book is one of the best stories I’ve ever read! I encourage everyone to read it. Men are men and women are women (to be treasured and protected) and God is given glory in this story where the movies have robbed it of any worth and turned into pornographic trash! I’m going on a bit of a rant so…. Lots of literature is placed on a valuable shelf but, you are right, that much of it does not bring Glory to God. On the flip side, not every book has to bring up God in the story but a work of value should be “implied “ in good character and morals that point us towards Him…if that makes sense… Great conversation here. And speaking of Halloween…I was at Lowe’s the other day and I’ve never seen such evil decor! Now I’m noticing it more in other stores as well. The prince of this world is working overtime because he knows his time is limited! Praise God!

      I agree with you!
      I will say I have seen some of the episodes of Rings of Power, not all, and they do not have sexual content, cursing, or anything like that, but it seems Gandalf’s “power” is… different. Not sure as I don’t know how the story will develop where they’re going with that.
