Jim Martin tagged me in his last post and made me think about blogging and how it impacts us.
1.Blogging has become a regular part of my spiritual practice. Both the writing of my own blog and reading of other blogs serves to challenge me, teach me, shape me, and draw me closer to God.
2.Blogging has opened up a world of new relationships - some readers I know and have existing relationships with yet others are blog-world friends.
3.Blogging helps orient my thinking. I am able to better process my thoughts through writing and reading comments.
4.In addition to physical community that I value highly, I love the community that develops in the blog-world that allows us to see how believers of all stripes are expanding the kingdom.
5.Blogging has allowed me the joy of "virtually" sitting at the feet of great thinkers on a daily basis. How else does one get to engage in the thoughts of Mike Cope, Jim Martin, Frank Belizzi etc with such regularity.
And now I would like to tag a few friends...
Frank Belizzi
Jim Leasure
Kinney Mabry
Angie Bruce

Arlene, good to read the ways blogging has affected you. I never really thought of it as spiritual practice before, but I do see people adding that in some of their lists— fun to think that something so satisfying is also growth producing!
Got the tag. Still thinkin'. Will reply soon.
I enjoyed reading your blog. I love this post. I don't know you, therefore couldn't be tagged by you.
I would like to copy this idea from you and the "parent post".
