A Few Thoughts and Links

School has gotten the better of me, or at least the blogger in me. I'm quite behind on the news, although I'm really curious to see what goes down tomorrow. In the mean time, here are a few things I've come across that I feel merit linking...

Thanks to James K. A. Smith for reminding us to pray for Ted Haggard. In the end, this is a heartbreaking story, and a family will never be the same once CNN and Fox News stop covering it.

Over at God's Politics Amy Sullivan has an intriguing post on the Haggard story. Call it spin, but I too am hopeful good can come out of this in the end. Personally knowing a gay person drastically changes the was a person thinks about the issue. Haggard has positively influenced many lives, so hopefully his story can garner some sympathy among a typically homophobic crowd.

Finally, in light of the death sentence handed down for Saddam, I find Dale's post on the U.S. as an accessory the crimes for which Hussein was sentenced. Sad indeed. And hypocrital! I think it says a lot about the true character of this country that we start and support illegal wars, execute our criminals, and depose and hang dictators when they no longer help our cause and block us from lots of oil with which we can continue to poison the earth.
