Links for a Frigid Friday

I was hoping that, due to freezing rain and sleet last night, we'd have a snow day today. Alas, as of 5:50 a.m., it doesn't appear to be. So, here are some links for a frigid Friday:

• There’s quite a discussion (36 comments and counting) going on over at World on the Web pertaining to my byFaith piece; kind of fun to read

• Read this brilliant op-ed on the silence of Muslim moderates in light of the brutal punishments handed out as of late; courageous writing

• Margie Haack, over at Ransom Fellowship, has a good (but short) Christmas gift suggestion list; it's mostly books (surprise)

• In case you were wondering, here's a field guide to Evel Knievel's injuries - 433 broken bones by 1975, a world record (hat tip: Coudal)

• Major marketing mistake: Hanukkah Hams

• 300 episodes? Who is still watching ER?
