As can be seen, there\u2019s not much blogging going on.\u00a0 Not that I haven\u2019t notice much to comment on, but right now as my wife\u2019s severance package comes to a close, and we face the prospect of no income, no benefits, and no ready openings in the near future, I must admit my mind\u2019s priorities are elsewhere.\u00a0 With that said, not to leave\u00a0 folks hanging, but here are a couple things worth chewing on.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

First, a friend sent this article<\/a>\u00a0by George Weigel that says, in ways far better than I could, what I\u2019ve been saying for several years now.\u00a0 It\u2019s one of the ongoing themes that I touch on time and time again. <\/p>\n

And over at the truly awesome Bad Catholic<\/a>, I see one of the best refutations against the simplistic and shallow explanations that skeptics have for the question of why people are religious.\u00a0 It\u2019s a must read.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
