So, here they are!  I haven&#8217;t checked whether or not they&#8217;ve received one yet so if they have, then they can demonstrate how brilliant they are by displaying all that they receive.<br \/>\nMy new favorite blogger, <a href=\"http:\/\/drjimwest.wordpress.com\/\">Dr. Jim West<\/a>, is a biblical studies blogger who also blogs about current events. I think that&#8217;s why I like him so much, though he is decidedly to the left of me (which isn&#8217;t too hard since about 90% of the public is probably left of me).<br \/>\nWhen FzxGkJssFrk of <a href=\"http:\/\/physicsgeekjesusfreak.blogspot.com\/index.html\">Physics Geek Jesus Freak<\/a> writes posts like <a href=\"http:\/\/physicsgeekjesusfreak.blogspot.com\/2007\/04\/signs.html\">this<\/a>, it makes me realize how much I don&#8217;t know about science and how thankful I am that my husband compensates for that for the sake of our kids.<br \/>\nChris Campbell of <a href=\"http:\/\/soundwords.chrisacampbell.com\/\">Sound Words<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chron.com\/commons\/persona.html?plckPersonaPage=PersonaBlog&amp;plckUserId=tchristian&amp;newspaperUserId=tchristian\">Thinking Christian<\/a> is a thoughtful blogger.  He&#8217;s blogs are closer to what I intended this blog to be but my love of politics keeps overcoming my desire to be a more thoughtful blogger \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nAnd I always learn something new from Alan of <a href=\"http:\/\/blogonomicon.eponym.com\/blog\">Blogonomicon<\/a>. There&#8217;s a reason he&#8217;s on my Cute Gun Blogs blogroll and it&#8217;s not just because he&#8217;s blog is another pretty &#8220;face.&#8221;<br \/>\nAnd I&#8217;m sure that Shanon of <a href=\"http:\/\/rocksinmydryer.typepad.com\/\">Rocks in My Dryer<\/a> has probably gotten hundreds of these already but my list wouldn&#8217;t be complete without her because she always makes me think (usually, it&#8217;s &#8220;I&#8217;m so glad I never had boys&#8221; or &#8220;I wish I could write like that&#8221; :-).<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thethinkingblog.com\/2007\/02\/thinking-blogger-awards_11.html\">Here<\/a> are the rules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know that this will shock some of you but we&#8217;ve been awarded a Thinking Blogger award by Laura of Pursuing Holiness.
