“Cross-Eyed is a great resource and we’ve heard some great stories about people finding encouragement through the site, but the fact is, we can’t compete with books. Go to the Christian section of your local bookstore, pull out almost any old book and you’ve got us beat. Why?
Kimi Harris, sister-in-law of Alex and Brett Harris, puts it this way, ‘Blogs often contain short-lived opinions. Most likely all of us have at one point or another felt strongly about a certain principle or issue, but upon additional experience, time and wisdom, realized our original conclusion was wrong. We are much more likely to write about a passing belief on a blog, than in a book. We can easily share opinions on blogs that have not been tested with further thought, feedback or experience. This is an important aspect of blogging to keep in mind when reading them. Books on the other hand, are not so vulnerable to this tendency. [On the other hand] Books open the door to the wisdom of the ages. If we are only aware of the wisdom of the present day we will be limited in our knowledge. Every century, even decade, has its own strengths and weaknesses in thought and practice. If we read only the newest, most recent blogs, newspapers, and magazines (and books!) we will be restricted to the wisdom and faults of our age. But if we read older books, we can learn from their insight as well as their mistakes, and develop a more well-rounded knowledge.’”

I bookmark blogs like crazy. I want to read them, but I don’t. They sit there for months in my bookmarks until finally one day I lose some browser settings and trash all the files including my favorites. It’s happened before, it will probably happen again. What a better way to save these blogs than to put them in a blog post. Right?
Meet Me In The Meadow – I originally bookmarked this site just because of the beautiful design.It’s one of my all-time favorites. However, with a second look, you’ll find that the blog is actually that of the Day Spring Cards owner. He provides excellent Biblical perspective and inspiration. Highly recommended.
(In)Courage – Sure, I know it’s supposed to be a blog for ladies, but who wouldn’t like that design? Though it feels a bit cluttered, the 30 women who write for it (including Ann Voskcamp, a writer I’ve unsuccessfully tried to snag) do a great job.
Stuff Christians Like - I can’t figure out Jon Acuff. Is he making fun of Christians or just using them to make a quick buck? I do know he has a great following and a TON of people are buying the book, but still, I don’t know what to make of it all. Plus I’ve only read two or three blogs on the site, so for all I know he could be trashing Christians. Maybe when I get some time I’ll explore more.
Eclectic Whatnot – Stumbled across this blog a few days ago and though I can’t say it’s the most ascetically pleasing site ever, Ruthanne takes beautiful photography. Definitely a site I’ll be stopping at from time to time, just to look at the pictures!
Reflections of a Ragamuffin – I found this blog while researching for my article, An Introduction to Wearing Pants. I bookmarked it solely because they had a link to a large picture of the Dockers ad that I wanted to use. However, on visiting their homepage a few days later, I pleasantly surprised to find some great reading, written by a guy blogger. (Which you should know is semi-rare).

Note: Just to keep you safe I’ve got to say, I didn’t read everything at the links above so there is a chance that one of the sites will have some dirt. If you go clicking around and find incorrect theology you might get upset. Not even I know if you will get upset.
