Having been dually honored with this award, I thought it was time I step forward and offer my list of Thinking Bloggers. It’s one of those tagging list thingys which basically works like this: 1. (if tagged) List five blogs that make you think, 2. Link back to this blog so people know the origin of the award.

I’m supposed to list five, but we’ll see what happens, there might be a long list of honorable mentions…

1. One/Change- My friend Mollie rocks the sustainable world. Always posting simple ideas and steps we can take to make the world a better, more sustainable place. Thanks Mols.
2. Transit- Ben always has thought provoking things to say about the latest news, event, or book that he’s reading. Ben is also passionate about cities, he knew more about Nashville then anyone when he lived here, and I think he’s quickly become an expert on Seattle and it’s history too. Go Ben.
3. The World Is Too Much With Us- Indie and her fab family came over for dinner one night, and it was great to have them see our community. Any parent (or parent to be, like me) should subscribe to her blog. She’s always sharing important knowledge about issues related to kids. Whether it be WIC, car seats, or gender issues, her posts are always thought provoking. Kept it up Indie.
4. Mission Year Girl- Rachel is a hard one to track down, which is why I had to link to two different blogs. Rachel teaches in Chicago and shares her experience on her blogs. Always engaging, often funny, and consistently inspirational, Rachel’s writings will help you think differently about the education system and kids in the city. Teach Away Rach.
5. Escaping Babylon- Richard always brings a fresh perspective to things, and though his comic interest aren’t always shared, I love seeing his sketches and hearing about his work serving college kids. Sketch it out Richard.
6. Taste The Sea- Connie is a brilliant writer. I’ve had the privilege of reading her writings and recently hearing her thoughts at our small group. Her openness and willingness to share hurt, struggle and victories is something the church needs more of. Keep Shining Connie.

So, that’s five and I guess I’m supposed to stop. Those are the semi frequent bloggers that I have the good pleasure of reading regularly. But, there are always more. Jamie is a writing maniac and links and shares thoughts about great and challenging topics, Mindy doesn’t write often but when she does it’s beautiful (she’s a far better writer then I am and the only reason my grammar isn’t 100x as bad as it currently is), Christy keeps me up to date on Nashville and the news, Chris is always saying something fresh and challenging, Josh is a servant leader if there ever was one, Zach is brilliant though he often just updates about his life and Adria is my go-to theologian. There are plenty more, I’m sorry if I left you out.

Well folks, I guess you’ve been tagged. Happy Reading everyone.
