New Bloggers Include Mugs, Bullies, and Espresso Shots

Marcus here.

Last week, we mentioned our new automated system for welcoming folks into the network. That means, once a week, I sit down to add folks into the feeds and sift through the newcomers.

Hmm. Sorting through the printouts this week I see our first spam member who wants us to sell video games for them in Monrovia. I think we’ll pass.

The rest of the new blogs are pretty cool. Here are just a few of them:

Andrea of Espresso Shots says, “I’d love to connect, share lessons and explore collaboration opportunities with like-minded professionals committed to honoring God in the marketplace.” She’s a business blogger got some good devotional posts for Christians in the workplace.

Tina Howard of spaghettipie isn’t really a new blogger, but we somehow left her out when we transferred our email list over to the new system. So I’m listing her because she just now got into the “big list.” Sorry about that Tina. And if you’ve never visited her blog, it’s one of Mark Goodyear’s favorites. Tina also writes for TheHighCalling.org, by the way, though her first article hasn’t gone live yet.

Karen Swim of Words for Hire is another business blogger. She hasn’t added a badge yet, but I wanted to list her anyway because her recent post on what she learned from bullies is such a great idea. I think it could make a good group writing project, Robert. Robert, are you listening?

Marty of CountlessImperfections.com shares our affinity for high calling blogger Steve McCoy. He deserves a mention too, because yesterday was his birthday. He hung one more year on the line.

Last by not least, Roger Mugs the Theologer (who’s also a sometime poet) comes in with some great devotional about Psalm 25 read through the lens of living in a shame-based culture. Wow!

Now, go click through and leave some comments to encourage people.

I hope everyone has a great week. I’m headed off to Lubbock, Texas. Whoo hoo!
