It’s my blogaversary

I have officaly been operating Contemplations of My Belly Button for a year. A lot has happend in a year. I have moved from a blogger hosted site to my own domain. I have met some great people who I both agree and disagree with. I have also learned that I have a nack for getting my point accros while annoying many.

To celebrate my blogaversary, lets go back to where it all started. Here are my first five posts for those who have never read them. They are not amazing or long but that is the beginning of this mess of randomness:

Hot August Whimp

Evangelizing Take 2

Great Night

Sign of the Apocalypse

Mission Accomplished

I will be posting my favorites list when I hit 100 posts (should be soon). Again, I appologize for the lack of posting. My current topics I have drafts for require some resarch or I am not satisfied whith them. They will be up soon.

God bless,

Anthony

Blogs you should read in 2008….. besides mine

These are a few blogs and podcasts that I read/ listen to often and you should look at them as well because they have some good content. These blogs are in no particular order:

The Fire of New Desire- Great blog by my friend Joey. He writes on some of the same stuff I do but he writes a whole lot more eloquently (and less sarcastically).

Abandon Image- Blog by a lady named Tia. She is fairly emergent and I disagree with some of what she has to say but has some interesting opinions and is one of the more polite people when it comes to discussing controversial topics.

Purity: Fully Clothed- Thoughts on purity by two teen-age girls. Real talk about sex and abstinence from girls living in this crazy sex-obsessed generation. Some really great poems and analogies on purity.

Desiring God Blog- The official blog of Pastor John Piper’s Desiring God Ministries. Deep insight from Piper and others on Christianity from a fairly conservative point of view. Also, you can find a link to John Pipers sermons which are entertaining and very informative.

Mars Hill Church Podcasts- Sermons by Pastor Mark Driscoll. Most people think he is emergent but his theology is actually very conservative. He does sermon series by going straight through the books of the Bible. Probably one of the funniest Pastors I have ever heard yet he explores the scriptures well. Starting soon, He will be doing a nine sermon series on questions submitted to their website.

I listen to and read a whole bunch of stuff so if you would like some more leave a comment and I will give you some more.

God Bless.
