The link I’m about to give you is largely unrelated, however some respect and gratitude needs to be given to one Rick Brady who, on his weblog Stones Cry Out, has graciously given me my second birthday present (my first being a laptop from my parents). Rick gave it to me when, perhaps in a moment of prophetic epiphany, he called me the next C.S. Lewis (you’ll have to scroll to the end of the post to see it).

As I said, the post itself is mostly unrelated to things that interest me (but it interested me enough to read it and comment, so I guess I’m just lying to myself). It’s actually on his theory of weblog posting for small and medium-sized bloggers, which normally wouldn’t interest me at all except that the newness of this webblog is still with me, so I read it. And my comment (to which Rick responds) is actually in response to a seemingly unrelated quote within that post about the whole CBS/Dan Rather/Bush memos thing. Which again I don’t care about, but I do care about the Christian reaction to it (hence my comment). You can read it if any of that sounds interesting.

Anyway, Rick, thank you for the birthday present and the link. You have earned my respect (from your response, not from the present) and laughter (from the present, not from your response). I’ll see what I can do about philosophizing with regards to Christian mercy. I’m sure it’ll come up sometime.
