A post of links

I'm not actually sorry for producing this puny collection of links, because I think they're worth the time they take to read. Only two of them are even remotely depressing.
  • First, I'll begin with these YouTube videos because I've wanted to share them since I heard them at the end of September. The music is Hear my prayer/O for the wings of a dove by Mendelssohn (whose name I always spell wrong and so I always have to find out how to spell it properly, which is annoying, and normally even when I've looked at how to spell it I still succeed in spelling it wrong.). Part one is here and part two is here.
  • Now, for this article from the BBC which I've only wanted to share since the end of October. It tells what happens to people when their friends and relatives don't pay for a funeral and I found it very interesting. I do count it as one of the remotely depressing links, though.
  • Then there are these pictures of babies in the womb. They're incredible.
  • To go with the pictures above, read this story from the BBC. Then stop to consider how anyone could ever abort a baby when they're so well formed and many who want children have difficulty having them.
  • This is my three year old sister's current favorite poem. I have read it many times recently, and that is why I link to it now.
  • This story surprised and saddened me. Disagree with the great names which are banded around. Look into what they say. This is the second slightly depressing link.
  • Now, this is good. That is how prisoners should be treated. And, believe me or not, but I found this by pressing the random button at the top of the Snopes website.
  • And finally, these are the instructions I used to obtain my nice new three column blogger template. They are very clear indeed, hence why I was able to work out exactly what I should do. So I finally got a three column blog, which is something I've been interested in for a while.
