Hey everyone.  As promised last week, here is part 2 of the weekly links.  Hopefully they’ll be an encouragement to you this week until we can get together again on Friday!

• Here’s an easy one to get you started…Al Mohler talks about reading. (VIDEO)  It’s comforting to know that childhood-Mohler and childhood-me have something in common; unfortunately it’s the fact that we both prioritized reading over obeying our parents.
• I don’t agree with everything that Peter Kreeft writes, but this quote about the Christian’s view of Heaven is spot on. (WEB)  And before you ask…no.  That is not a picture of Peter Kreeft.
• You didn’t think that I would let the week go by without giving you a dose of Paul Tripp did you?  It’s not really Halloween-themed, but the timing is appropriate.  So without further ado, here is his article on Christian living entitled The Costume Kingdom. (WEB)
• And on a related theme, over at the CCEF blog, Ed Welch has a great article on the issue of Living Publicly. (WEB)
• So…Kevin DeYoung writes a book about the Heidelberg Catechism.  CJ Mahaney reads said book and appreciates it (I haven’t read it yet, but from having read four Pastor DeYoung’s other books, I imagine it’s fantastic).  So he challenges his friend Curtis Allen…aka Voice…to write a rap song about it.  So, may I present to you, the first ever rap song about the Heidelberg Catechism. (AUDIO)
• I have long maintained that two of the best things that Dan Phillips (of TeamPyro fame) ever wrote were a couple articles on prayer (What?  You haven’t read them yet? Go…go!)  Well, now I have to add a third article to the list since he’s Biblically dissected the idea of “trust.” (WEB)

Alright, that’s all I have for you.  My quiver of articles is once again empty, and Google Reader has brought me hundreds more.  I’ll be back with a few of them on Friday.  Between now and then…well, you did read that article by Ed Welch right?
