Yesterday (or the day before, I have lost all track of time), I got a note from Gem over at My So-Called Homeschool about BlogDay 2006 which is supposed to get bloggers around the world to check out new blogs and areas of interest that they may not have read about before. Well, I had never heard of Blog Day before Gem dropped me that note and was kind enough to include my lowly blog in her list of 5. Thanks Gem! This is what I was supposed to do before August 31st:
1. Find five new blogs that you find interesting.
2. Notify the five bloggers that you’re recommending them on BlogDay 2006.
3. Write a post today with a short description of each blog, and link back to it.
4. Link back to the Technorati BlogDay 2006 page.
I know, I know, I am late, don't punish me for it! So, I suggest these 5 blogs for your consideration. Actually, since I have already broken the rules and posted this 2 or 3 days late anyway, I may as well continue to be a non-conformist and post more than 5 blogs!
Here they are:
#1 Adversaria A theological blog by Alastair Roberts that often intrigues me and disrupts my complacency. It also causes me to wrestle with God, the Church, and my life. Check this blog out AS SOON as you are done reading this post!
#2 Starving Jesus - 40 Days of Nothing 2 pastors who are fasting for 40 days and traveling around the country trying to get people out of the church pews and into participating in God's Kingdom. What a concept!
#3 Patrick Mead Patrick is the preacher at the Rochester Church of Christ. He has tremendous insight and his voice needs to be heard!
#4 Josh Graves Josh is Patrick Mead's son in law and he really gets and holds my attention.
#5 Preacher Mike Mike Cope is the preacher at the Highland Church of Christ in Abilene, Texas. He is a wonderful speaker and an insightful writer. He is also the Senior Editor of New Wineskins magazine.
#6 Larry James Urban Daily Larry is the CEO of Central Dallas Ministries, a ministry with a focus on economic and social justice in inner city Dallas, Texas. Here is a man with a heart for the poor, the homeless, the social outcasts. Kind of sounds like a man after Jesus' own heart, doesn't he?
#7 Meanderings Our own preacher at Trenton Church of Christ. Mark is a witty, intelligent, fun loving guy that gets the Gospel, and tries to help the rest of us get it as well.
#8 My So-Called Homeschool Gem is a member at our church and a frequent blogger. She is a homeschooling mom (bet you would have never guessed!) and has a good post to read most everyday.
#9 Rabbi Saul: Studies in Paul and Second Temple Judaism A blog dedicated to the study of Paul, his faith, and the way in which he integrated the Hebrew Scriptures into the writings that would become his Epistles. If you like N.T. Wright, you will be at home here.
#10 The Ashram This blog is a community of people living in God’s Kingdom here & now. “a humble attempt at authentic living, relying on community and conversation for holistic answers to fractured questions, trying to catch a glimpse of the kingdom coming, seeking the one who said "follow me"...”
That's it. Check ‘em all out, let me know what you think.
