BlogSwap 1

Today was the first BlogSwap and I think it went very well. We had 9 participants respresenting (obviously) 9 different blogs. It is quite fun to start with one blog and, after reading the entry on that blog, to click on the next and so on. By clicking from one to the other you find yourself going in a little 9-blog circle, reading about how blogging has affected the lives of different people. If you are not a blogger and have considered becoming one in the past, this list will provide you with some convincing reasons to join the ranks of the bloggers.

Here is today’s list:

At this point the perfect circle went a bit out of shape because of late entries and because I messed up with one of them.

So that is the first BlogSwap. We will have our next one in two weeks. If you participated in this one you will be automatically notified about the next. If you have not participated and would like to, please read this for information on how to join in the fun.

    The Winds Blow Hardest Against the Tallest Trees

    Through the weekend had many questions about Christian leaders who fall. And I expressed that just as the winds blow hardest against the tallest trees, so temptations may press hardest against the leaders who rise the highest. Just as floods press against shallow roots, so seductive desires rise up against those whose fall would bring…

  • Expectations

    Why We Ask So Little of God

    Most Christians expect little from God, ask little, and therefore receive little, and are content with little. Though the Bible calls us to pray and though it promises that “the prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working,” we can still have very modest expectations of what God will accomplish through…
