Matthew Paul Turner, host of the <a href=\"http:\/\/jesusneedsnewpr.blogspot.com\/2009\/12\/christian-good-bad-and-crazy-of-2009.html\" target=\"_blank\">Jesus Needs New PR blog, for a witty list of the good, the bad and the crazy of 2009<\/a>.<br \/>\nIf I had the stomach for it, this is the kind of blog I&#8217;d love to write every day;<br \/>\nThen again, I&#8217;m getting a little tired of irate readers who get worked up because they don&#8217;t always &#8230; well, <em>read<\/em> &#8230; the entire posts and end up offended because of something they thought I said instead of what I actually said.<br \/>\nI mean, really. A girl can only take so much.<br \/>\nBesides, Turner does such a good job with Christian satire that Im better off spending my spare time writing about life from the point of view of my border collie, Bandit. Lately, I understand a dog a lot more than I understand Christian music fans. (<a href=\"http:\/\/dogvotional.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"blank\">www.dogvotional.com<\/a>).<br \/>\nBut I digress.
