Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...wherever in the world you live! I hear you're a chocoholic too - I won't tell a soul! Chocolate is good for the body - and God's Word is good for the soul: "O taste and see that the Lord is good...(Psalm 34:8 KJV)." So please join me for a few moments of fun, food and inspiration - it's all calorie-free (believe that and I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge) and might even make your day!

Bible Byte 'n Chocolate Chew for Today

"When Halloween's Over and the Monsters Aren't Gone!"

NOTE: Link update. Please use this search page to access the Scripture reading below. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Daily Manna's Bible reading: 1 John 4:16-21 (NIV)

Monsters--a topic of great groans and grave delight to kids recently during the Halloween holiday--the scarier, the better, so they claimed. Frankly, I'm not into monsters for myself--there's more than enough real, scary stuff in this wicked old world to suit me, how about you!

Now I know make-believe monsters can knock on my door any Halloween night of any year, or can flicker by on my TV screen any night of any year. But I also know there are certainly no real nor make-believe monsters under my bed--and there are most certainly no real nor make-believe monsters in my house...or are there??

Come along to the Well--take off your mask first (HE sees right through it anyway!), and let's look at some monsters that may be lurking around my house--and yours--and it's not even Halloween! They're crafted by the monster-maker himself and designed to create MAYHEM, whatever that is, wherever they go. Webster says it's "any situation characterized by violence, confusion and noise." Are you game to take on the monsters? With Jesus, you're safe--so let's check them out!
