Blog Tag
Todd tagged me with this meme:
The explosion of the blog world in the last year has led to countless quality blogs being started, but sometimes it is hard to find them amongst all the other blog muck. Because there are so many quality blogs out there, I though I would try to start a meme to send some eyeballs toward those unknown bloggers. So, share a blog you think more people should read, and then tag 5 others (who hopefully read your blog!) to do the same.
This is a tough one, because I could probably list a couple dozen sites here. I'll give a few that I consistently find to have quality stuff, with the disclaimer that omission isn't meant to indicate a lesser opinion of anyone's work.
Dang, I'm such a wimp.
Anyway - Blogs Everyone Should Read™
Ross Daws - Ross so often achieves that elusive mix of creative imagery and theological substance that I envy admire. Always worth reading.
Today at the Mission - My pseudonymous friend [rhymes with kerouac] writes about his experiences working in a homeless shelter. You cannot read his stuff without encountering Jesus.
So I Go - Jeff posted the first essay of his "perpetual novel" in the comments of one of my posts about a year ago, almost to the day if I remember correctly. I don't think anyone ended up reading my post, because his essay was so phenomenal.
Todd Littleton - I met Todd at the etrek course at Biblical last fall. Todd's blog is always well-written, thoughtful, and substantive.
Bob Robinson - Bob's site is a great mix of link and think. But his think is especially good; at the moment, he's doing a series on postmodernity that is well worth a read.
I'm going to cheat and tag the guys I listed. Personally, I like to read what the folks I'm reading like to read. (I think you all drop by from time to time... ;)
wow.. thank you. i don't even know what to say. i'm blown away.
and wow again, i think you're right about the 1- year anniversary. time flies, huh? thanks for your encouragement along the way, Scott.
peace.. jeff

I've enjoyed reading his posts and having conversations with him and changing my mind and then "arguing" some more with him. He's a good guy and an excellent writer/thinker.
I'll have to check out the others.
Posted by Scott L on September 21, 2005 06:37 PMJeff - It's been a pleasure! I'm looking forward to another year of your writing!
Scott - When I saw Todd's list, Ross was probably the first person that came to mind. Definitely check out the rest; I think you'd particularly like Bob's site, but they're all excellent.

Posted by Lorna on September 23, 2005 06:06 AMPS forgot to say I especially like Ross' blog. Need to check out the others too.
Posted by Lorna on September 23, 2005 06:07 AMThanks for the links, Scott, I'll be sure to check them out.
Posted by Grey Owl on September 23, 2005 11:19 AMThanks, Scott.
You're a braver man than me. I couldn't possibly only list 5 for fear of leaving somebody out.
Yup. I am sooo chicken.
Posted by [rhymes with kerouac] on September 23, 2005 08:07 PMWow, I'm very honored to make this list!
Thanks for the nod!
