Halloween treats await at Jasper Methodist
By Suellen Reitz
Typically, when it comes to
Halloween, everyone thinks
about kids in costume going
door to door to receive
candy. This year at Jasper
United Methodist Church, lo
cated at 85 West Church
Street, the treats include
candy and a lot more.
Halloween will be cele
brated early on Wednesday,
Oct. 27 with JUMC’s annual
Trunk or Treat held in the
church parking lot from
6:30-7:30 p.m. Kids will be
delighted with the festive
mood of 20 plus decorated
car trunks filled with yummy
candies for all.
Treats of the event is more
than just candy. Visitors are
asked to vote for the best
decorated trunk by putting
cash in vote jars at each ve
hicle. The best trunk will be
selected by the most cash.
And that cash makes a big
treat for orphaned students in
Kenya in the form of new
school uniforms. It’s a win-
win for everyone.

Trust God for
Less Failings
and More
Victories
By Rev.
Tony Elder
Our al-
most-two-
year-old
grandson
enjoys hav
ing a certain
book read to him. It helps
him learn his colors as it pic
tures various items of ap
parel such as “red shirts” and
“blue pants.”
However, what he enjoys
most is that every couple of
pages it shows a certain char
acter misusing a piece of
clothing, such as putting a
pair of pants on top of his
head or covering his nose
with a sock. One word is re
peatedly written on those
pages - “oops!” My grand
son seems to take great de
light in coming to one of
those pages and gleefully
joining whomever is reading
to him by shouting “oops!”
We all have our “oops”
moments. We make mis
takes, we experience acci
dents, or we face the
consequences of our momen
tary carelessness or weak
ness. We probably don’t take
pleasure in those occur
rences, but we tolerate them
and have learned to expect
them as faulty human beings.
But what about our “oops”
moments when it comes to
doing what’s right and fol
lowing God’s will for us?
What about when we slip

Believe in Freedom
There is a long-standing debate among philosophers
concerning thenature of freedom. The positions on this issue
range from those who claim we are nothing more than
machines (and thus freedom is merely an illusion), to those
who claim that our actions are completely undetermined by
nature or nurture, and thus that we are radically free. As usual
in philosophical! debates, the truth most probably lies
somewhere in the middle. Our behavior is determined to some
degree by our inherited constitution and by our
upbringing, and yet in most circumstances, those factors don’t
compel us to act in any particular way. As humans we can
choose not to do the habitual or expected thing, however
difficult this may be. And, we actually “prove” our freedom
most when we resist the inclination to do wrong and force
ourselves instead to do what is right. While the greatest
hindrance to our freedom is the belief that we are just cogs in
a wheel whose movements are determined by forces beyond
our control, perhaps the greatest boon to our freedom is the
belief t that we are indeed free, and the resolution to always
make good use of it. Therefore, we should believe that we are
free, and we will be.
“Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation;
the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
- R.S.V. Matthew 26:41
