Thinking Blogger award

I've been honoured! Donna Farley who writes A Spell for Refreshment of Spirit, has awarded me the Thinking Blogger award (see medallion on the side), along with the following blogs.

Peter Chattaway's Film Chat, Ed Willett's Hassenpfeffer, Graham Yates' Thoughts from the Vineyard and Thomas Wildeman's Kick Against the Goads .

I am supposed to find five blogs that make me think, and award them the same thing.

Some that come to mind immediately are The Central Ganglion, by some old friends and acquaintances - they're on the total other end of the political, religious and lifestyle spectrum from where I am, but they do make me think. And laugh.

There's nehamablog, which isn't posted often, but does get me thinking about things she writes about. Bits about life, and relationships mostly, but that's important.

Nous from Spring is a personal and religious blog by Mary Brigid, a Texan Orthodox woman who has a massive dose of common sense and a way of looking at life that makes me think.

For now those are the only three I can think of.

The participation rules are simple:

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think,
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme, (see link above on 'thinking bloggers'
3. Optional: Proudly display the 'Thinking Blogger Award' with a link to the post that you wrote.
