Thanks Michelle for stopping by The Blind Beggar and your kind words. Blogs are an interesting medium of expression. The reason people blog is quit varied. I started as an exercise at improving my ability to express a point using the written word.
Technorati now tracks over 26.7 million blogs. Quality, as you would expect, ranges from poor to excellent. Any topics or issue man is able to think of is cover by a blogger. Christian blogging is a pretty big area now and the interaction of the reader with the blogger can be very good.
Here are a few that I enjoy.
