Some miscellaneous linky loves and thoughts as another week begins:

1. Bill Whittle’s essay on Courage is worth reading.

2. And I know there’s a religious right present in-country, but now…there’s a religious left, too? I’d like to think that politically active Christians of all stripes would at least give some thought to whatever stand they want to make before mouthing off.

And for the sake of playing the Devil’s advocate, some Christians opposing a war with Iraq forget that Jesus is not known just as the Prince of Peace. He is also the Lion of Judah.

3. My school has a weird academic schedule - no holiday tomorrow, even though it’s Presidents Day. No, our holiday comes at the end of March: Cesar Chavez Day. It’s a conspirancy, I tell ya…

4. I hope it rains all week. Not that I’ll enjoy it, but it means more snow when we head up north for a ski trip this coming weekend. I hope fresh snow falls while we’re there - that’d make my entire freakin’ year.

5. Pretty soon I’ll be speaking in rhyme.

6. Even journalists need a break from the news.

Have a good night!
