Happy Halloween

Instead of an unpublished post today this is my annual link post to a bunch of Halloween-themed material I've shared over the years.
Halloween, vampires, monsters. It's all here.
I hope you have a blessed and Happy Halloween this weekend. A collection of reflections for the day:
The Gospel According to Lady Gaga (a meditation on showing hospitality to "monsters")
Monsters Under the Bed (from the Theology of Calvin and Hobbes series)
The Great Pumpkin (from the Theology of Peanuts series)
The Wicked (Wicked as in the Broadway musical about the Wicked Witch of the West)
The Theology of Monsters series (seven posts in all)
Talking with the Dead (a Halloween chapel talk)
In Defense of Halloween (an article I wrote for ACU's student newspaper)
