Hell is not the North Star. That is, divine wrath is not our guiding light. It does not set the direction for everything in the Christian faith like, say, the glory of God in the face of Christ. Neither is hell the faith-wheel which steers the ship, nor the wind that powers us along, nor the sails that capture the Spirit’s breeze. Yet hell is not incidental to this vessel we call the church. It’s our ballast, and we throw it overboard at great peril to ourselves and to everyone drowning far out at sea.

DIRECTIONS
  PIE FILLING:
Combine the pumpkin, sugar, cornstarch, spices and salt in a bowl mixing
and mix well. Add the eggs and evaporated milk. Beat until smooth, using a
wire whisk. Pour into the unbaked pie shell. Bake on the lowest rack of a
preheated 425 Degrees F. oven for 15 minutes and then reduce the oven
temperature to 350 degree F. and bake for an additional 45 minutes or until
a knife inserted halfway between the center and edge comes out clean. Cool
on a wire rack. Prepare the Crunchy Pecan Topping and sprinkle evenly over
the cooled pie then place the pie under the broiler flame (5-inches from
the heat source) until the mixture begins to bubble, about 1 to 1-1/2
minutes. Cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Refrigerate until
serving.
  CRUNCHY PECAN TOPPING:
Place the softened butter, brown sugar, and pecans in a bowl and mix until
crumbly with a pastry blender.
