Hi I Brian
This is very strange in my experience, but a few comments:
I see a couple of PR6 sites and several PR5 sites above you on my toolbar, so that is not too strange.

It may be that Google is reading and indexing the two nonblanking spaces you have included in your href (  APOCRYPHA) since Google does read and index them. Try changing your existing href from this:
[code:1:26aa88df42]<A class=leftLink
HREF="http://www.comparative-religion.com/christianity/apocrypha/" title="apocrypha of the new testament - the most complete list and set of apocryphal writings on the internet."><IMG
height=6 alt=""
src="/graphics/arrow.gif"
width=3 border=0>  APOCRYPHA</A>[/code:1:26aa88df42]

to this:
[code:1:26aa88df42]<A class=leftLink
HREF="http://www.comparative-religion.com/christianity/apocrypha/" title="apocrypha of the new testament - the most complete list and set of apocryphal writings on the internet."><IMG
height=6 hspace="4"alt=""
src="/graphics/arrow.gif"
width=3 border=0>APOCRYPHA</A>[/code:1:26aa88df42]

and see if that helps.
