Blog Roll Updates

It has been a while since I last updated my list of recommended links. Today I finally got around to deleting one that hasn’t been updated in a long time and I added two new ones. I try to keep my list short, so if it makes my list you know it’s worth reading! I don’t understand why people would list 50 or 100 sites on their blog…

The first addition is Matt Hall. Matt writes just about every day and has plenty of good observations to make on life and faith. I look forward to reading his site every day.

The other addition is Why I Am Really Here which is Shane’s blog. I noticed in his short bio that he and I have many similar interests, are about the same age and so on…so we have a lot in common. I try to drop by his site every day.

I removed one link as the author has decided he will not post on a regular basis any longer.

  • What Grieves the Heart of God

    What Grieves the Heart of God?

    What pleases God? What delights his heart? And what displeases God? What grieves his heart? If asked, I think most of us would assume that if we ever grieve the heart of God it will be through denying the gospel or committing a grave moral scandal. Or if we do so as a local church,…
