Michael Kruse tagged me several days ago, along with offering a generous recommendation of this humble little site. I confess that I've sort of been feeling like someone who has unexpected guests and hasn't been keeping up with the chores, but if you're stopping by for the first time, then welcome.

As the meme goes, I believe, I'm supposed to recommend several blogs that I think more people should be reading. Most of these I've been reading for some time now; I don't think that they'd qualify as lesser-known as per the original meme, but I think all of them are worth adding to your feed reader if you haven't already:

• James Mills - If James lived near me, I'd always be at his house raiding his bookshelf.
• Todd Heistand - Todd serves at a local church called the Well. He's a fellow Biblical grad who's trying to actually implement this whole "missional" thing.
• Todd Littleton - I met Todd during an etrek course a few years ago. He's thoughtful and balanced.
• Al Hsu - Al wrote one of the best books I've read on living missionally in suburbia.
• Bob Robinson - Bob puts together a great theologically oriented blog that offers a lot of substance.
