Musings on Spiritual Matters

Thinking of Updating the Blog List

I have not updated the blog list on the side of this site for some time now.  Some of the links are old, and need to update anyway.  But I have been thinking about updating it with some new blogs.  There are some guys that are doing some good work in this area and I need to include them in the blog list.  I do not like having a ton of stuff on the list, but having stuff that I personally like.  Also, if you are a friend, I try include you.  There are some new guys that I want to draw attention to in the brotherhood as well.  Shocking, because of people reading this blog, or just spam, it is highly ranked for church of Christ blogs.  So I want to use it to highlight good works in the church.  So here is what I want, if you want your blog noted, do not be shy, and just send me a note, I want to include you.  Also, I want blogs that are updated a lot, once a month does not do it for a good blog, it must be weekly, and if there are months between posts, I am not going to include it on my site.  Just because I want it to be a good refreshed list.  Too many people start blogs, and stop using them.  I want people who are dedicated to the work.  It is hard for me to keep the site updated, but it is something that I committed too, so I want people on the blog list that are too.  Adam Faughn is a good example of what a great blog looks like and operates like.  He updates it often, it is positive and helpful, it is sound, in fact, it is one of the best blogs out there and one of the best run ones too.  He includes stuff I like, for an example, book reviews, he stays away from issues just to have them, but looks at the positive, and really praises people and builds them up.  He has themes somethings, and it is plain to see that he is serious about this area of his ministry.  I highly like his blog, so this is an example of what I am looking for in including a blog on the list.  I have a few blogs in mind, but please send me a note about yours, I do not want to forget some of the good blogs out there.  For an example of a good blog that is not on the list is Neal Pollard’s blog.  I have been watching his for a while, and it is excellent.  Really good stuff.  I also like Tim Spivey’s blog because of his knowledge on leadership, he talks about church issues well.  He is a little more prophetic, but as a blog, it is always a worth while read.  I love his as well, and his needs to be updated on my site.  So guys, help me too if you have recommendations.

    Well, here’s to a little shameless self-promotion.

    I post weekly (usually 2-3 posts per week) on my blog. In broad terms, the posts almost always deal with aspects of the gospel and scripture as it relates to Christian living and culture. Like any blog, people will not always agree with what I write but I do allow open commenting so long as it is courteous and Christianly.
