It's Halloween, and for some reason foreign to me, many people honor this day and all the scary stuff that accompanies it.
I received an e-mail this week from a friend. I never, and I mean NEVER pass on these e-mails. But I'm making an exception, as I felt parts of this one merited being passed on.

I wrote a few days ago about the 2008 presidential election and how God is in charge of everything and nothing takes Him by surprise. But He also wants us to do our parts in prayer. If this information doesn't scare you to your knees, nothing will. We're the ones who can make the difference. So pray up and speak up! Let you voice be heard both in heaven and on earth.
