Not One Little Bit...


We were putting up the Halloween decorations last night. I was in the kitchen putting up a few things when Oakley came in from the living room and said, "Jesus isn't scary - not one little bit." I was at a loss for words- what was he talking about? His next statement didn't bring any clarity, "Maybe we could put him on another shelf in the closet." I told him, "You're right, Jesus isn't scary. But what are you talking about 'putting him on the shelf'?" Finally- it all made sense. Oakley was putting some decorations on top of the piano and he wanted to move my olive wood carving of Christ washing the disciples feet - since "Jesus isn't scary one bit" and didn't fit in with all the "scary" Halloween decorations.


Oakley is definitely right - Jesus isn't scary , not one little bit.
