some blogs to check out
March 30th, 2008 @ 10:27 am
i’m still working at finishing up the never-ending blogroll (which, if you would like to be on, click here and let me know - i just ask that you link me back!).
i’ve spent this weekend out exploring some new blogs and visiting some old favorites. here’s a list of four blogs i am really digging right now.
1. spence smith - spence lives in nashville and is one of the people from compassion who led our uganda trip. i heart this boy. he has been an encouragement in my life since the day i got to know him. chris got to meet him this weekend when he was in oklahoma city. he thinks similarly to the way we do about church, friends, and chocolate.
2. lynseleanne.com - lynse, lynse, lynse. a birmingham girl, and wiser than any early-twenty-year-old i know. lynse emailed me a couple of years ago asking for some help working through a problem i had some experience in. she drove a few hours to meet me while i was in nashville last year, and again when i spoke in decatur, alabama. and i’m honored to say this coming weekend, i’ll have a role in her wedding.
3. ethos/randy elrod - another dreamer i had the pleasure of meeting on the uganda trip. randy and his lovely wife live outside of nashville. every conversation i had with them on the trip was inspiring and beautiful. randy is fulfilling a dream for artists.
4. ally simpson - this list would not be complete without my irish friend ally simpson. ally lives in ireland. (chris and i want to move to ireland and open a music shop and a hoover repair store - hopefully most of you understand that dream, and if you don’t you are seriously missing out). ally says things i feel but can’t say on my blog. he’s smart. he’s honest. and he’s another dreamer.
any new blogs you are lovin’ right now?

Anne: I thought you’d never ask… :-) My wife’s blog. She not only loves,adores, and looks forward to your blog every single day (very early riser) but tells other ladies to read it! I want to tell about her “Caring Thoughts” blog at the www above. She writes with so much positive thoughts to ladies re: hubby. God has blessed us with forty years of marriage and thirty-five of those are full-time Pastorate.
Blessings to you & Chris always, Jim

Anne, are you coming to Birmingham for the wedding? If so, my wife and I would love to meet you and your husband. Dinner will be our treat, if you have the time.
I pastor a church about thirty minutes from Birmingham, in a little town called Woodstock (no, not THAT Woodstock!).

Since you closed off comments to the New Dad blog, I wanted to simply say thanks for using your blog so productively to spread the word on sponsoring kids. No doubt that is dear to the Father’s heart.
