Darla knocked on her neighbor\'s door. \"Hi, Jenna! Can you come out and play?\" she asked when her friend came to see who was there.

\"Sure,\" replied Jenna, \"but come in and meet my sitter first. When Mom\'s gone all day, Mrs. Johnson usually comes. But she had other plans today, so she recommended Glenna. She\'s cool!\"

The girls found Glenna in the family room, and Jenna introduced them. Glenna smiled and held up a book. \"What sign are you?\" she asked Darla.

\"Sign?\" Darla repeated. \"I don\'t know.\" She held her right hand out in front of her. \"A . . . a stop sign, I guess.\"

\"Don\'t be silly,\" said Jenna. \"Glenna means a sign like Gemini or Libra. You know-signs of the stars. Astrology.\"

\"What\'s your birth date?\" Glenna asked. \"I\'ll look up your horoscope in this book. It tells stuff about your personality and something about your future.\"

\"I\'m a Scorpio,\" said Jenna when Darla hesitated. \"Just before you came, Glenna read my horoscope. It says I\'m going to be rich some day.\"

Darla frowned. \"My Sunday school teacher says the only place we can learn about the future is in the Bible.\"

\"Oh, wow!\" exclaimed Glenna. \"A Jesus freak!\"

Darla was uncomfortable. \"Come on, Jenna. Let\'s go outside and play,\" she suggested.

\"Let Glenna read your horoscope first,\" begged Jenna. \"You don\'t have to take it seriously.\" But Darla refused, so the two girls went out to play.

That evening, Darla told her parents about Glenna and the horoscopes. \"I guess it was silly of me to not even tell her when my birthday is,\" she said.

Mom shook her head. \"No, it wasn\'t,\" she replied. \"I\'m proud of you, honey. I\'m glad you said you were a stop sign and acted like one-you stopped Glenna from reading your horoscope.\"

Dad nodded. \"If you\'re confronted with this again, maybe you could be a \'U-Turn\' sign,\" he suggested. \"As soon as the subject comes up, do a U-turn-do an about-face-and get out of there. Things like that may seem harmless, but they\'re tools of the devil. Many people are led astray by them.\""); document.writeln(' '); document.writeln('

How About You?
Do you read your horoscope in the newspaper? That may seem harmless, but if advice is offered, do you think it would be a good idea to follow it-just in case those who \"read the stars\" are correct? Be careful! Don\'t get involved in any way. Christians do not need the devil\'s games to tell them how to live. Turn away from any kind of fortune telling. Let God\'s Word guide you.
