The Hidden Gem in the Blogosphere

•

A couple of days ago, I confessed on twitter that one of my favorite blogs to read is Ann Jackson’s “Flowerdust.”

Now, I know that blogs are a dime a dozen, everyone it seems, has one or has had one in the past.
Aside from the few really big ones we all hear about, the other good ones can be hidden in the corner of the blogosphere.

So, I thought I would give you a chance to share…
What’s your favorite blog?
And/Or
Where can we find your blog?

Leave the name and URL in the comments.
I look forward to having some new blogs to put in my Google Reader!

    As a dutiful parishioner, I always read my pastor’s blog,

    http://www.danperkins.blogs.com/

    :-)

    Actually, I tend to ignore Thursday’s posts because they are all about triathlons or his triathlon training, and usually his Monday morning posts are the most interesting and thought-provoking because they tend to be derived from his Sunday message.

    I read the big blogs most of us know like Anne Jackson’s, Carlos Whittaker’s, & Seth Godin’s, but a couple of my favorite blogs are Pete Wilson’s at http://www.withoutwax.tv & Ben Arment’s blog, History in the Making, at http://www.benarment.com .

    You can also check out my blog at http://www.epiccalling.blogspot.com . It’s not nearly as insightful as these guys, but I do my best.

    So, as it turns out, when you ask people to comment with links, comments that aren’t spam end up in the spam box. Had to go dig em out! Thanks for sharing everyone!

    Hi,

    A couple of good ones. I’m really pulled into Twitter. I have been really grateful for all the blogs and reading as I went through a very difficult church experience and it has really helped to look out from my community.
