What's Your Favorite Scary Movie?

 There's something about October that makes me crave a good spooky movie night. The air gets a little cooler, the days get shorter, and suddenly I'm digging through the blankets, lighting fall-scented candles, and asking the all-important question...What's your favorite scary movie?

Now, I'll be honest--I'm not the bravest when it comes to horror. I'm more of a mildly spooky, slightly suspenseful, but still sleep-at-night kind of girl. Think Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown, The Addams Family, or Goosebumps--the kind of scary that's fun, not nightmare-inducing.

But my family? Oh, they love the thrill! Every year, we make a list of our favorite Halloween movies and take turns picking one for movie night.

Here are a few of our favorites:

Family night pick: Hocus Pocus or Coraline-- fun for everyone!

Classic night: Ghostbusters or Beetlejuice-- a little weird, a little funny, and totally nostalgic.

Thrill night: For the braver ones-- maybe Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, or The Conjuring. Lots of jumping on my part!

What I love most isn't just the movies, it's the tradition. There's laughter, popcorn, and someone always pretending not to be scared when they clearly are. 

So, tell me, what's your favorite scary movie? Are you a lights-off, spine-chilling horror fan, or do you stick with the spooky-but-safe classics fan like me? Either way, grab a blanket, light a candle, and make a night of it!

Much Love,

Beth

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...

Red Flags: Guarding Our Hearts & Our Churches

 Scripture tells us that shepherds are entrusted with God's flock, no for selfish gain but "being examples to the flock" (1 Peter 5:3). A pastor's calling is a holy one, rooted in humility, sacrifice, and love. But Jesus also warned that not every shepherd has pure intentions--some are "wolves in sheep's clothing" (Matthew 7:15).  As believers, we must stay discerning. Here are some red flags to watch out for in pastors: 1.  Special Treatment for Certain Families  James warns against showing partiality (James 2:1-4), yet some pastors cater to certain families, wealthy donors, or influential members while neglecting the rest of the body. Christ doesn't play favorites--every soul in the church matters equally to Him. A true shepherd cares for the unnoticed as much as the well-known. 2. Neglecting the Brokenhearted  Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted (Luke 4:18), but a pastor who avoids the messy, hurting, or less "influential" people in th...
