Spring Swag – My friend Becky is offering some great giveaways over at her blog. My guess is that women will find it significantly more interesting than men.

Deal of the Day: Pastor’s Package – RHB is offering to pastors a package containing some great resources.

Creationists and Holocaust Deniers – Richard Dawkins explains why Creationists are like Holcaust deniers.
