TGIF

Another week has come and gone. Basketball season is in full swing, and the days and evenings are packed full of activity. There are two weeks left before Christmas break, and then I'll have two weeks to relax with family and friends.

As is my usual practice, here are the links:

Camels and needles.
Putting Satan back in Christmas.

This Sunday is the second Sunday of Advent. Remember the anticipation of the Jews that the Messiah was to come, and our own waiting for him to return.
