And…the new kid on the blog is
Eye Level. G’day and bonjour!
Because of time differences in this north-south
hemisphere blogging partnership, I didn’t get to post this before my
Australian deadline. For those of you who missed it, here is Instapundit’s
prayer.

Holy Weblog, two of the busiest bloggers in the roll, have lots of links
for your weekend reading.

decision.

Here is a blog on blogs.
Do you want to know more about transpropositionality?

Die Weit. Do you want to know what the Church of the Nativity terrorists
are up to in Europe? Link via

Ideas interview with
Ken Layne about blogs and books. Does anyone want to interview Martin
about his books?

final preparations. God speed, and God bless.
Update your Mere Madness link. It’s
here. Why am I getting a Comet Cursor alert?
The
Doc at He Lives continues with Calvinism, Arminianism, etc. etc. (I have
no idea if I spelled that right) It is nice to see
Joyful Christian back at it. Keep him in your prayers, eh?
JordonCooper.com’s blog is 1 year old. That’s ancient in Christian blog
time. Go wish him well!
Spudlets responds thoughtfully to Rev.
Joshua Sargent’s post on a blog writer’s vision, mission, roll, purpose,
community, accountability, slump, etc.
Bloggedy blog has found a quiz. Which
parasite are you? In the interests of fair disclosure, I’m an amoeba.
Eeuww.
Pssst Spudlets, in response to your email question. There
are changes happening at this blog as early as next week. Martin will make
the announcements. Stay linked.

A group of publishers are

may be a victory for all of us.

G’day and Bonjour to all of you!

Josh Claybourn’s request for a Catholic perspective on the end times.
Mark Byron and
Ideas join other Christian political/war bloggers
Cut on the Bias,
Brothers Judd and
Midwest Conservative Journal on
Instapundit’s blog list. Congratulations!
Speaking of Americans, while going through our blog list
earlier, I noticed around 90% to 95% of American bloggers who posted had
something on their Pledge of Allegiance and the 9th Circuit Court
decision. Is a wolf pack mentality developing? Is everyone jumping on the
Jerry Falwell bandwagon?
Vodka Pundit at least has a world view and strong words for this Pledge
obsession.
Every blogger go read
this. Now. If you have something to say, then try to comment politely.
Beats having to slog through all these Christian posts on the Pledge of
Allegiance.

of the Japanese cult responsible for the 1995 Toyko subway sarin gas attack
and the 1994 attack in Matsumoto. Their beliefs are
here under “A”.

China’s HIV/AIDS epidemic is becoming

Asylum seekers are
sewing their lips shut again in another hunger strike at Woomera camp.

Tanzania Train Crash

Al Quaeda’s Computer Skills

Squirrelly Littering Law

Quote of the Day
Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory
capacity.
