My primary blog, 'In my world,' is about my thoughts about the world and things I like. Not so much personal stuff. I'm a private person who wants to keep it that way. Also, visit my 'MiaPhotolio'

A scene in the woods

Jesus Christ meets Mary Magdalene. She felt guilty and wanted Jesus forgiveness. They meet in the edge of the forest in Jerusalem.

Mary Magdalene: Dear Jesus, I have sinned

Jesus: What is it, my child? What can be so bad?

Mary Magdalene: I have helped a helpless man

Jesus: That’s not a sin. Helping your fellow-man, is not a sin

Mary Magdalene: He wasn’t helpless. I thought he was

Jesus: Tell me more

Mary Magdalene: His name was Judas and he told me he wanted my help

Jesus: That’s still not a sin, my dear

Mary Magdalene: It was Judas, the man who betrayed you. Please forgive me

Jesus: Even the baddest person deserves help. You did nothing wrong by helping this man

Mary Magdalene: It was I who told him where you were and I feel guilty for doing so. It was I who thought he needed help. But he just wanted to know where you were. It’s because of me you will be crucified

Jesus: It’s not your fault. You’re forgiven even when there’s nothing to forgive.

With that, Jesus laid his hand on her head and Mary Magdalene gratefully thanked him. Then they parted ways. Neither of them knew they would never meet again.

Screw Halloween, It’s All Saints Day to you.

Halloween? No thank you.

It’s that day again, Halloween. What is it anyway?! In Finland it’s All Saints Day, a day you remember those who are no longer with us. It’s not a day where you dress up in silly costumes and act like idiots. It’s only in recent years Halloween has been celebrated over here. Not the same way like in America though. Thank God for that. But it wouldn’t be surprising if the same custom would get here as well. I really hope it doesn’t. We already have Easter where kids dress up and that should be enough.

It’s just another reason for companies to make money. The real reason has been forgotten. Now it’s only worship for witches, ghosts, skeletons and other dark side things. Dressing up kids and making them go and beg for candy. Trick or Treating is another word for it. If parents wants their kids to become overweight and have bad teeth, just go a head. It’s just a shame kids won’t be taught the real reason behind Halloween. People are forced to buy candy so those greedy parents can teach their kids bad manners. Just the word Halloween makes me ill. All Saints Day is a much better word for it.

Here we go to the cemetery and put candles on the graves. Some go to church. It’s a religious celebration where Saints are remembered and people who has passed away. Death shouldn’t be a scary thing. That seems to be the point with Halloween. Death is bad and it shouldn’t be taken lightly. When it’s on the contrary.

So I’m not wishing you a Happy Halloween. I’m wishing you a Happy All Saints Day.
