It’s the last day of the worst month of the year. And fittingly, it’s several degrees above the freezing mark with a steady rain starting to obliterate the snow. Spring is nigh. Tomorrow I’ll have a collection of desktop wallpapers to bring some spring cheer to your desktop.

5 Things I Can’t Find – R.C. Sproul Jr writes about 5 things he’s surprised that he can’t find in the Bible.

Hope can see heaven through the thickest clouds.
