Since I was a child Linus has waited for the Great Pumpkin every year. He has faced ridicule from family (sister Lucy) and friends (Charley Brown, Snoopy and others); with all the obstacles to his faith, he remains committed to what he believes.

In this comic strip Linus is quoting from the Bible as people have asked God to deliver them over the centuries. Linus holds on with ferocity to what he believes. Do we hang on to what we believe with a similar ferocity? That is a question we all must answer for ourselves.
