As far as the age is concern, pparhes it is a reflection on the hipness of those under 65 when it comes to using technology. Let’s face it, J. Vernon McGee could never have pulled off answering questions that came via text messaging like Driscoll does. But I also think there is something to be said about the affinity for the young and hip when it comes to preaching and teaching.I don't have a problem per say with technology. I met my husband on the internet so any time I'm tempted to think technology is evil, I just have to remind myself that God used technology to bring us together! So I understand why the under 40 crowd is really focused on using it for ministry. That said, I'd still rather hear or read a well-thought out, Scripture-based answer from McGee than be impressed that Driscoll can come up with a smart-aleck, possibly laced with profanity and innuendo answer off the cuff. Deb Thanks for your kind words. They truly do mean a lot.

America is the only country that snedps more for less. Organically grown less goes in the growing of it and it costs more. Free range chickens. Chickens caught in the wild and they cost more. It seems to me that the only green they are worried about is the green in their pockets. That's why the cheapest and most perfect fuel in the universe is controlled by big business and government. If Obamma was so worried about fuel prices why has he effectively all but blocked the use of hydrogen gas. that is until they found ways to regulate it. Tell me why not use a self replicating fuel source. Your never going to run out of it. A little chemistry 101. What is the chemical structure of water? H20 = two hydrogen and one oxygen. what is the by product you get when you burn hydrogen? H20 Think about that.

What an interesting cenaorsvtion here, Sallie! Thank you!I skimmed the list and clicked on five blogs at random. Two were from large churches, and reminded me more of a business or marketing pitch than anything spiritual. Only one of the five had entries that resembled sermons or Biblically related content. One was very pop culture oriented, complete with links to Super Bowl commercials.I. Was. Not. Impressed.I read a handful of blogs frequently. Yours, for one, Sallie. Some are written by home school moms. Some are written by farmers. They have far more Biblical content than these so-called popular blogs from the top 60. I read Ann V., as someone mentioned above, and she has wonderful and honest insight to living the Christian walk. I didn't see anything that matched her wisdom in any of the five blogs I happened upon from the list.Thanks, but no thanks, Mr. Top 60 Church Blogs. I think I'll stick with my own favorites!

Jen Ding ding ding! Beth Moore is Woman 1. I don't see how they could have possibly left her off.Lori In many ways, I do agree with you. I agree that nurembs aren't everything. But let's assume he is doing this list and people are discussing it just for the business end of things. Doesn't it seem like they would have gone out of their way to include at least a few more token women on the list? Just from the business standpoint, it seems like a poor move. And to leave off someone like Beth Moore? She has a very popular blog and her nurembs would have to place her very high on the list. I know she could probably care less about the list. And maybe a lot of women bloggers wouldn't care either. But on behalf of the women who would be offended by the list whether they blog prominently or not I felt I wanted to discuss this. There is a segment of women in the church who feel sincerely marginalized and to them, this is not just about a heart issue or loving Christ being enough. It goes much deeper than that.

in the first comment:The thughot that occurred to me is that we as mothers are helping to form the church of the future and yet we often seem absent from the so-called “conversation.” I know for me that I’m just too busy doing the work to spend much time writing about the work, but I often feel “left out.” It saddens me that the simplicity of serving quietly in the home still seems to be undervalued in the “church world.”This really hits the nail on the head. People wonder why some women feel so marginalized in the church and, to me, this list is the perfect example. Whether we are left out because we are busy serving or when we do find time to write we write about that serving, we are still not recognized as impacting the church just as much as the men who discuss the finer points of theology on their blogs.NormalMiddle pointed out that theologically it is a cross section of denominations which is good. I don't know the bent of the people who compiled the list, but given that the name of the blog is Church Relevance I'm going to go waaaaay out on a limb and guess they're probably not super conservative toe-the-liners (to use NormalMiddle's term). So why the lack of women? Just didn't cross their minds? Don't think blogs that aren't primarily theological are impacting the church? Don't think that women who blog about spiritual matters (albeit not Greek meanings and systematic theology) aren't impacting the church in a major way?Have to stop. Gotta give that toddler a bath!

People often suffer from disoepsern for a variety of reasons. I went through a time in my life that disoepsern was inescapable, but I survived. I am now happy and look back at that time in my life as a learning experience. Depression can hurt a person, a family, so it's best to get it treated as soon as possible.

(bold mine):There are hundreds of great ccurhh blogs and ministry blogs to read, but do you ever wonder which ccurhh blogs everyone else is reading?I do, which is why I have compiled a list of the world’s top ccurhh blogs.Some focus exclusively on ministry, while others are more like theology blogs. Regardless of how you label them, these are the world’s most popular ccurhh blogs written by many of today’s most influential ccurhh leaders, theologians, and Christ followers.Ok, so this is supposed to be the very best of the ccurhh in the entire world. So there are almost no women writing the top blogs in the ccurhh? Really?And I'm assuming you don't have to be a professional clergy in order to qualify because it says it includes Christ followers . I admit to not being up on all the cool lingo, but I'm pretty sure that that term is not limited to clergy.Without even breaking a sweat I could think of two blogs written by women and one blog written by a man that HAD to have numbers comparable to some of those blogs. I could think of another one that I was pretty sure would make the top 60. I thought of another one that probably would have if she hadn't stopped blogging for a bit and came back. (Oh and while proofreading this comment I just thought of another one that would probably make the list, but I'm not going to look up the numbers.)So I took time out of my life to satisfy my curiosity and as far as I could tell with the information made public, I was pretty much right on. One of them I couldn't find numbers for because his blog is not set up to qualify (as far as I could tell). Sorry, NormalMiddle, but Doug Phillips at Vision Forum would have to have comparable numbers. You know I'm not a VF supporter, but still. If we're going to talk about people impacting the ccurhh through blogs, you have to include him whether you agree with him or not.You'll have to open up another window to compare codes if you are really interested. I am assuming I found the numbers they were using for their rankings. If I got the wrong ones, someone can point this out to me . And I did not find numbers for Google Readers because it was confusing to find and I have a life.Two women that should definitely be on there. Woman 1AR: 456,600BS: 344GP: NATA: 1053TIL: 4,459Woman 2AR: 250,051BS: 212, 37 or 56 or the sum totalGP: 6TA: 402TIL: 1901There is no way those two wouldn't end up on there in the top 60.Another one that I'm pretty sure would make the cut:Woman 3AR: 945,107BS: 104, 123 or 275 or the sum totalGP: 5TA: 288TIL: 818Another woman who might make the cut and definitely would have if she hadn't quit blogging and started again:Woman 4AR: 495,344BS: 44GP: 4TA: 95TIL: 401I even looked up my numbers just to see how they compared. They have definitely taken a hit since I quit blogging and changed my blog name last year. But I would bet they would be well within the top 110 if those numbers were made available. Many of my individual numbers were ahead of many of the top 60 although I don't think the combination would put me high enough on the list. But I had to satisfy my curiosity! I'd love to have someone come here and explain this to us.Ok, can you guess who Women 1, 2, 3 and 4 are? I would guess you have definitely been exposed to three of them. One of them might be a little more difficult to guess.

How does one keep one's own spirits up when delaing/living with a loved one who is chronically depressed, refuses treatment or herbs or counseling ? I understand from many studies and readings that the more positive person ends up being brought down by the depressed person. Why doesn't it work the other way around?

My question for the blog is as a pnaert or educator, how can you help a child or student in which perfectionist behaviors are apparent to feel unafraid to achieve excellence in more of a chilled fashion? How can I help them feel positive and self-accepting for just being themselves and to feel proud of their efforts to meet their challenges?

How can an individual move frroawd after receiving a diagnosis/treatment for any psychiatric disorder when individuals within the community who have preconceived ideas of what the person is do not give them an opportunity to do so. How can we enable the community as a whole to understand that a person is not their disorder/diagnosis. Conversely how can we enable the individual themselves to realise that they are not their disorder/diagnosis.

How does one get the help they need when they know they have a problem such as deseopsirn or anxiety when they rely on others? Do they first need to make themselves more independent and seek help themselves, bulldoze the person they are dependent on to get them the help or circumvent them? How do you seek help when getting the help will cause more problems on the home front than dealing with the anxiety/deseopsirn in the first place?
