The band fun.
Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
I’m not really a big fan of the band fun. I like their songs that I’ve heard on the radio but I haven’t bought the album. The above lyrics are from their song We Are Young. The song is about a boyfriend who had abused his girlfriend in the past, carrying said girlfriend home when she has had too much to drink.

This past Friday our student ministry had its annual Overnighter. The Overnighter consists of staying up all night and playing games.

Partying really does seem to be the focus of Halloween these days. I remember when I was younger and the focus for everyone seemed to be on children dressing up and going trick or treating. Now it seems that the focus is on finding the best party to which people can wear their skimpiest and most revealing costume.
Obviously I’m no longer a child and I don’t yet have children, so it’s possible that I no longer see the trick or treating aspect because I’m not a part of that world. But, from talking to a number of people, trick or treating seems to be down across the board and adults seem to be claiming Halloween as their own more and more every year.
Really my disdain for the current trend in Halloween has nothing to do with parties or adults dressing up or women thinking that lingerie is an acceptable costume. When it comes down to it, I just don’t like Halloween that much. Read more »
