My father, who was a Methodist missionary in China for 30 years, upon my
asking when I was growing up, "Dad did you ever do any bad Hallowe'en
things when you were growing up?" His reply: Well, in Webster City,
Iowa, in the 1890's we considered loading neighbors' outhouses onto
outbound flatcars down at the switchyard to be the ultimate prank."

The most important thought of all----

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a GIFT.
That's why it is called THE PRESENT!!!
