Christian Carnival
In the wake of a nearly sleepless night spent following election returns, I'm just doing my best to get this posted. I was just going to throw up links but I hate to be a slacker. Instead I tried to find interesting pieces of art that relate (sometimes in very strange ways) to the title or content of the post. Each thumbnail is a link to a larger version, should you want to see a little more detail.

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do [like blogging], do it all for the glory of God.

Good job. By the way, when I run my cursor over my entry, the text disappears. It seems to happen on my entry, Year of the Eucharist and Avenues of Service or Seats of Power.

I seem to be encountering the peek-a-boo bug in IE.  Sometimes IE does that on floating divs.  I made one wholesale set of changes which fixed it for the most part, although we still have issues on two items.  Looks great in Firefox though!
