What other blogs are you reading?
What's good?
What's funny?
What's challenging what you think you know about God or raising green tree lizards or making your own honey?
What blogs do you print out or forward?
What blog is expanding your definition of art? What blog motivates you or makes you spit up coffee all over your keyboard?
What I'm trying to say is, what other blogs are you reading?

I have to admit I am new here so currently, YOURS is all the rage.
My regular blog is closed but here is a spin off post from "pamic" that I wrote. You are gifted and talented and well, us blogging folks in central florida are LOVING you! Lord bless you!
Razzle Dazzle
Welcome to a new category of posts called "Observations"!
The topic of this one is a spin off post from a post of my new fave blog.
In MY blog however, a discussion ensued about massaging in church.
Now, I am not sure what the actual reason for such disgust is of massaging in church is (see comment section of prior post) but here are my thoughts.
First: WHY do people massage in church?
A. They are nervous and feel like "massaging" their spouse will ease their own pain and somehow make them feel less "sinful"
B. They want to be sure that EVERYONE knows they are a couple.
C. They want to be sure that everyone knows they are a happy couple.
D. They want to make sure everyone knows that they are a happy couple and that they are regularly having SEX.
E. They want their spouse to feel comforted in church since they are there-today-for-the-Easter service-which-is-the-only-time-the-hubby-shows-up-and-the-wife-thinks-that- if -she-massages-him-he-won't-bolt-for-the-door-in-the-middle-of-"Watch the Lamb" by Ray Boltz. (Which by the way, I can do a very cool ASL interpretation to if anyone needed for an Easter service)
F. They are a MASSAGE THERAPIST and nearly can't help themselves. ( you know who that is right?)
Second: If you are a member of "Pamic" (people against massaging in church) here are some ways to get people from stopping the massage disruption.
A. Lean forward (especially if you are a man) and ask: "Do you mind if I trade places with your husband?"
B. Make vomiting sounds that sound like "URGHstopthemassageURGH"
C. Start massaging the person being massaged along with the person massaging.
D. If you are in a *Calvary Chapel Church*, loudly ask " I think this guy is hurt, help!"
and
E. Ask if they have a 976 number available.
I submit, these are the reasons people massage each other in church and ways you can stop them.
What do you think?
BTW- of course "fave blog" and "Pamic" linked back to your blog/posts. ;)
I have to speak in front of church tomorrow to say things that I am thankful for and I am terrified that I am going to think of YOUR blog in the middle of it and crack up. Pray for me (haha)before I multiply the funk. ;)
lovelylistings.blogspot.com is great. it's weird photos that realtors decide, for whatever reason, to include in their listings. and cakewrecks is a favorite of mine, too!
SFL and SCL for sure, and a plethora of them in Google reader. These are what I hit daily, to name a few:
Immersion
BeDeviant
MckMama
Bring The Rain
Conversion Diary
Cake Wrecks
You want to laugh?
You want to cry?
You want to be inspired?
Check out www.treymorgan.net It's the best kept secret in the blog world.
hmmmm...let me look at my blogger dashboard:
jujubee
Bakerella
Because I Said So
Life with the Lords
What's Cookin', Good Lookin'?
Stacy from Louisville
SCL and various and sundry Jon Acuff blogs.....
For humor:
http://failblog.org/
http://engrishfunny.com/
One Sentence - True stories told in one sentence.
Cool Things in Random Places
Afrigadget - African ingenuity
The Big Picture - News in pictures
Here's an interesting one I've only read a couple times, but always makes me think:
Internet Monk (www.internetmonk.com)
All your blogs, of course.
The blogs of a few friends.
Some "news" blogs.
And now, apparently, Cake Wrecks, too.
this is probably not the time for self promotion. so let's pretend none of these are my blogs:
Prayers For Blowouts - sports interviews with Donald Miller, Brian McLaren, and others. As well as sports/faith news.
Rachelle Gardner's Blog - Great insight into writing and publishing from an angent (who also happens to be a christian.)
Ramblings And Such - The guy who runs Derek Webb's fan site and Donald Miller's fan site muses on life, humor, writing, and faith.
Already Been Chewed - Graphic Designer Barton Damer (who works with a lot of christian media) shows off his amazing work, and often shares tutorials.
I'll list my daily blog stops (I have a whole routine that I go through several times a day b/c I haven't yet joined the world of rss feeds), if someone will tell me how to list the links here.
www.thebloggess.com...
Not for the faint of heart (her language can get a bit rough,) but this site is hilarious.
http://cruciformlife.wordpress.com/ - Jimmy Davis is a church planter doing something a little different and exciting with house churches. Plus he's a really good guy.
www.aholyexperience.com
Hands down my favorite blog. I get it everyday in my email. God speaks volumes through this faithful daughter of His.
PostSecret has been a favorite for years.
i enjoy what Tony Jones has to say about emergent.
Andy Osenga (the normals / caedmon's call) doesn't blog as much as he used to, but when he does it's worth reading.
Dan Kimball is also a good blogger (and a good writer). his observations on faith, church, and christianity make me go Hmmmm.
perrynoble.com,stevemcgill.wordpress.com, raggamuffin soul.
I agree with Karen. Cake wrecks for sure!
These are just some of the innovators I follow....
•Barton Damer i want to visually inspire as he does.
•Tony Morgan ...he develops "creative solutions" ... like minds....
•Anne Jackson gets church leaders off their butts...prolific twitterer as well.
•Armentwrites short blog posts that I can read.... thanks man.
•Noble blogs/preaches about how guys should "grow"?
•Furtick this guy is passionate that God can do big things!!
•Josh P always talking about his cool kids... oh, pastor of Awestruck, too...
•Todd Rhoades writes 85 blog posts a week/all of which are interesting
•MicroExplosion Media with Bill Seaver... killah...
•Piper .... looking for the deep stuff?
•Seth Godin ... been reading for a month and I'm addicted!!
•Visual Worshiper ...want to have a paradigm-shift?
•Pete is always asking good questions!!
Only two regularly, the meat and potato staples of my very lean blog diet:
Swerve.lifechurch.tv
SCL
The rest are like tofu, broccoli, and other stuff you like to claim to eat but don't really get around to that often:
Seth Godin
Kem Meyer
Ragamuffin Soul
Steven Furtick
WV "minsces" (I like my two fave blogs because neither Jon Acuff nor Craig Groeschel mincses words.)
New Life Live is a call-in Christian Counseling Show. The cool part is you can blog in and give your opinion and interact with other bloggers. Which gets real interesting esp. "Fred".
Found it on Oneplace.com which has around the clock Christian teaching.
tualin
taunting on a call in talk show
Very favorite is:
withoutwax.tv
(always thought provoking or funny, always can relate and take home some food for thought)
brandiandboys
The adventures of a mom of three boys- funny, adorable pics, great tips, etc.
Hey, Look a chicken (for you A.D.D. types)She's smart, wtty and crazy.
Random Musings (Helen is simply Hilarious! and you'll just fall in love with her.
Buzz by Annie's- Always gives an open look into her heart, with a hint of sarcasm. Love it. Great lady.
It might be hope- Mare, from Nigeria tells of her wonderful experiences as an American in this foreign land
THAT's NOT ME ANYMORE- ANother smart, witty Mom of 3 sharing her "wisdom".
Only during the Christmas season I look at the following blogs. The author has made a compilation of the ugliest nativity sets imaginable, with great captions and even better comments. It is a great companion to SCL.

UrbanFaith.com has some really thought-provoking stuff, especially for us city folks.
(Conflict of interest notice: I work for the company that produces it. But I haven't written anything for it yet.)
As far as laughter, it's hard to beat failblog.org.
Wait...
You mean there are other blogs? This is just what pops up when I turn on my computer!
Most of the blogs I read have already been mentioned, with the notable exception of engrish.com
If you're of Asian descent, or just enjoy laughing at us, this is the blog for you!
Is this one of those tests like in the bible when Soloman offers to cut the baby in half and the real mother says the other lady can have it? Because if it is, I'm totally that other lady! If you really want to know what other blogs I'm reading, come on over, I love me some lurkers!

Adventures of Hashbrowns tells of life in Wasilla, AK (even before life in Wasilla, AK was cool.) That was also my connection to SCL and 97 seconds, et al. Start at the beginning to enjoy a fascinating journey...

Here's another one for the cooks out there.

http://ckmulder.blogspot.com/
Then, there's also Dooce. Many of you might find her offensive, but I am able to laugh at people who think differently than I do. I adore her writer's "voice" and her snarky, acidic humor.
www.dooce.com
Sorry, I'm not proficient enough with HTML to create links. You'll have to copy and paste.

The Misanthrope Bar Joke. Imagine one long, meandering thought written by an Anarchistic Messianic Jew. It's kind of like that. I rip him off all the time.
http://chriscooley47.blogspot.com/ - what can I say I'm a skins girl :)
sensuouswife.blogspot.com - actually i work for her now, on sensuouswife.com. but she's an extremely uplifting and encouraging blog.
dooce.com sometimes - it tends to be funny
defectiveyti, especially the bad review revue.
Ann Voskamp's Holy Experience http://www.aholyexperience.com/ Always and absolutely. She's amazing.
CAN'T CONNECT TO treymorgan.net for all those of you who love the blog---what gives?
(I'm trying to visit all the sites my fellow SCL-ers love)

This is how much I like SCL.
I leave it up all day & when working on the computer, I pop it up look at the amount of comments, hit the refresh button, then if that number goes check out new comments. I know I felt confession was the best start.
Word Verifiaction: witymo
I really, really promise that is what is said. Just to0 good for me to pass up! So nice for you to notice:-)
Mo: Me too. And I don't even read any other blogs, such is my SCL addiction.
My sticker arrived a few days ago from my lovely US penpal - what a wonderful scheme - thank you Jon and Lisa and Sara (penpal).
Word verification: tring - which is a town just down the road from where I live!
Most of my blog reads aren't Christian ones. Which blogs do you read?
lifestream.org/blog
LCT asks a great question.
Jon, which blogs do YOU read?
Your is the only "christian themed" blog I read. I also read design sponge, thimblythings.com, moviezeal.com, and of course I write one at allthingsfancy.blogspot.com

Does anyone know of any blogs or websites devoted to New Contemporary Christian TV shows? NOT the Preaching, Talking Head & Begging for Money stuff...but Good stuff. Documentaries, Dramas, Sitcoms, Music..etc. I have started a site www.sprytv.com that I hope to be an online TV channel with this type of programming. I have produced my own TV Drama series. You can check it out at: www.walkonwater.tv
Cheers.
