Another Noteworthy Blog

I had a comment from a blogger at The Connective Lens today so I stopped by to take a look. He takes great photos of small town life--something I can appreciate since I grew up in a little town in Northeastern Indiana. Be sure to stop by.

New Blog to Follow

I don't normally get too excited about other blogs, unless it's another MAN BLOG. I used to keep a list of these on the right side of my blog, but many of them have gone off to blog heaven (i.e. they only post on Facebook).

But I REALLY like Some Blog. Be sure to check it out.

MAN BLOGS!!!! - Part Deux

About a month ago, I singled out some blogs written by men. Now, it's not hard to find a blog written by a guy but so many of them are just plain crude. I've been scouring the Internet for blogs of substance and character (or at least good, quality entertainment value) written by men. If you missed the first installment of MAN BLOGS, be sure to give it a read.

And now, here's the second round of blogs. Enjoy!

• Guy and Guy - The elder Guy is an old friend of mine from Ft. Wayne where he is currently serving as the Principal of a charter school. He's a terrific dude with a great sense of humor, impeccable taste and he plays a mean guitar. I wish he'd post more often. So, if you stop by, tell him to do so.
• James' Random, Stimulating, Missional Spiritual Thoughts - He gets the award for the longest MAN BLOG blog name. I just started checking this site out and contributing to the conversation. I think I found this one thanks to Mr. E.
  
• Least Significant Bits - One of my new favorite blogs. I think I noticed that he was commenting on some of the same blogs as me and decided to check him out. He's also an incredible photographer with an affinity for bolts. Be sure to check out his photo blog, too.
• Random Bits and Bytes - Sort of the same story as Least Significant Bits, but he also features Bytes. How could you pass up both Bits and Bytes in one blog? This was another Mr. E connection.
  
• Warrior's Hand - I found this one all by myself. He writes about being a dad and offers up great resources for us. Be sure to check him out.

Is there a MAN BLOG that I'm missing out on? If so, please let me know.

Note, you can always find my complete list of MAN BLOGS on the right side of the page.

BLISS BLOGS (follow-up to MAN BLOGS)

I got a very nice response from the recent MAN BLOGS!!! entry. The neatest thing was reading the comments from some of the wives of the men from the MAN BLOGS. It made me realize that there are several husbands and wives that blog separately. I can only hope that it's been as rewarding for them as it has been for me and Miss Sniz. So, in case you're not aware of these blogs, I'm going to share them with you. Feel free to visit them sometime.

1. Uvulapie & Uvulapie's Girl (formerly Hoffman Homemaker) - These two have the same sense of humor and their blogs complement each other very well. It's nice that the mental institution where they live allows them to have access to the internet and to have blogs. I talked about Uvulapie in my MAN BLOGS post. However, I didn't reveal the fact that he and I have recorded quite a bit of music together and that he wears lederhosen to work. Uvualpie's Girl is currently expecting...a baby (or a baby Elmo).











2. Honey I Fed the Kids & Still His Girl - I have not personally met these folks, but I feel like I know Scott. We've even exchanged a few e-mails and he's promised to mow my lawn all summer for me this year. He's in ministry and I'd say his blog and sense of humor are very similar to mine--which should explain the lawsuit. I haven't had any contact with Still His Girl, but my wife has. This is another pair of bloggers that do a great job of connecting their sites online. Each blog stands on it's own, but they're even more interesting when you follow both.











3. Mr. E & All Rolled Into One - These two are still pretty new to me. In fact, I didn't even know about All Rolled Into One until she sent me a comment about the MAN BLOGS post. This couple is open and honest when it comes to their lives in blogland. They're also serious about taking steps to be better people.











4. Big Doofus and Miss Sniz - Hey, that's me and my lovely bride. Thanks for reading our blogs and being our friends.











If you know of another couple that blogs, please let me know. I'd like to create a follow-up to this sometime and read more blogs like this.

MAN BLOGS!!!!

I'd like to start out the new year by identifying a few Man Blogs that I've really learned to appreciate lately. Ladies, don't get mad at me for not pointing you out. I really believe that you all have it figured out with this blogging thing and it's been an inspiration for me. However, I'm personally motivated by the guys I know (or sort of know) who blog. I have not met most of these folks, but they inspire and speak to me daily--or just make me laugh. Here they are in no particular order (i.e. I'm not playing favorites):

A. Uvalapie - Ok, I've actually met this one. An old friend.

2. Honey, I Fed the Kids - Husband and daddy of 4 girls. Great writer.

iii. Java Jesus - A theology blog headed up by one of my old youth group students.

d. Mr. E - Seems to be a genuine, humble man with a heart for God.

V. Tappity Tappity - Have not met him, but we talked online while playing Halo 3.

SIX. Reflections In Life - Randy seems like a guy that has been through a lot and has so much to share with people who are willing to listen. He's also a Reds fan, which is cool.

If I missed you, I'm sorry. In fact, let me know and I'll create a follow-up post.
