It's a major award!
Erin tagged me with a "Subversive Blogger Award", which is something started by Jake Bouma. In the "Aw, shucks" manner most of the people getting these seem to respond I have to say I don't consider myself subversive - simply soulfully searching (doncha just love gratuitous alliteration? :o) But as Dr. Zoidberg would say, "What an honor!"
Anyway, the "rules" are:
- If you are tagged, write a post with links to five subversive blogs.
- Link back to this post on JakeBouma.com so people can easily find the origin of the meme.
- Optional: Proudly display the “Subversive Blogger Award” somewhere on your blog (images below) with a link to the post that you wrote.
Brant - doesn't know me from Adam, but he's one of the funniest guys on the Web and the best kind of subversive. Humor brings down many walls. I've lost count of the number of times he's made me laugh out loud while hammering home a Christ-loving truth. And sometimes he just plain stirs things up.
Jeff - we just sorta stumbled upon each other just recently (I don't remember who found who), but I like where Jeff is going and what he's writing along the way. Why, just check this one out from today.
Erika - this woman just absolutely blows me away. Most of us in the alternomissionalemergisphere natter and spout about the need for "living missionally" while Erika and her husband simply do it while raising a family and serving in a church in south central L.A. She humbles me.
Chuck - a small church pastor and his wife in Virginia are trying to live a more sustainable life while being crazy enough to believe Jesus meant what He said about love and peace.
Tina - stretches a lot of us outside our comfort zones while encouraging us to stay focused on what God really wants for us. I am so glad she's returned to blogging!

At least it wasn't a leg lamp.
Erin,
Actually, I WANT a leg lamp, and want to buy them for my dad and dad-in-law, but they're still too expensive! :o)
Anyway, thanks for the nomination, and I've been bad because I haven't dropped by your blog and thanked you there (yet). I will fix that. Although I knew you'd read it here, too, so sometimes I wonder whether to do that. I mean, in some sense a blogroll (if it's based on people you actually read) is sorta like an extended web of blog comments, ya know?
Anyway, thanks!
Actually my family does a white elephant gift/ornament exchange at Christmas and I bought a leg lamp ornament. I think my dad got it. He cracked up.
And you're right about the blogroll thing...
Yeah, we got one of those last Christmas, too. It went proudly on the tree! But I want the REAL DEAL, which I've already told Les will go right in the front window. :o)
[At least at Christmastime!]
