Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Voyager 2 stops making sense – An object sent billions of miles from Earth, still functioning since the 70s … it’s a remarkable achievement, even if it’s having (finally!) a glitch.
- National Day of Prayer Ruling Was God’s Doing, Says Graham – While it’s true that Jesus said during the Sermon on the Mount that blessed were those who were persecuted for His sake … Rev. Graham’s claims to persecution (of himself or of Christians) seem to be, um, a bit fanciful.

- A Response to the National Day of Prayer – The Madison quote is a particularly nice one.
