Shoutout to Blog Friends
Every week there are two or three new followers (and I’m sure as time goes by followers drop off the radar but I don’t get alerts from WordPress about those).

Evelin blogs at EvelinTampobolon, in both English and Indonesian. Her blogroll includes several Christian and inspiration websites. Shoutout and thank you Evelin.
Finally I’d like to introduce you to a new blog friend that is really an old friend in real life. Miriam was a 6th grader when I when met the Waslewski family in 2003 (that’s her dad Mike on the surfboard). She recently graduated from Asbury University and will be traveling to the mission field in Northern Ireland. She has started a blog and will be sharing her new adventures as a missionary soon.

His name is Glen, and he’s lovin’ the Lord and livin’ the Life. That’s actually the slogan of his new blog Men After God. Mostly what he does is asks pointy questions to get people stirred up and say what they are really thinking. I have a couple of times. He wants to start some discussions, so drop by and put in your two cents.
