My husband and I watched Sean Penn's brilliantly provocative and heartbreaking film "Into the Wild" a few weeks ago. I have been thinking about it periodically ever since. (Incidentally, I highly recommend it, but be prepared to be deeply touched.)

The air is getting chilly. The leaves are beginning to turn. Pumpkins and Indian corn are cropping up at all the local farms. And Christians across America are beginning to grow uneasy as Hallowe'en approaches. The day of the Great Pumpkin has become an occasion for the Great Debate about whether or not to celebrate this increasingly secularized - and increasingly macabre - holiday. Sometimes though, in the "to dress as a witch or not to dress as a witch" debate, we lose sight of the fact that whether or not we celebrate Hallowe'en in a secular or pseudo-secular manner, we Christians are meant to celebrate it together as a holy vigil!

"Love...always trusts..." - 1 Corinthians 13:7 This was the central point of discussion at a bible talk I attended the other night at our neighbors' house. What are we, as Christians, supposed to do when confronted with a situation where we must choose whether or not to trust someone? The answer is always: we are meant to trust.
