First Evangelical Blog Awards Finalist

Cue 20th Century Fox Fanfare

The Finalists for the Evangelical Blog Awards have been
announced with yummy goodies in all categories. Somehow this site has
managed to remain in the running under the Apologetics category and still no
outcry of ?foul!? or ?heretic!?

With such fine apologist?s as Razor?s Kiss, Real Clear
Theology
, Joe Missionary and Weapons of Warfare on the field I?m sure that the ?heretic!?
cry may even rise from my own category! Either way, if it makes you ill
thinking that my site can be crowned Best Evangelical Blog in Apologetics make
sure to pray earnestly and get out and vote for one of these other guys during
the allotted two days when the polls are opened. Otherwise, my hands are clean
of this matter.

Also, look forward to the Salon du Refus??my
completely arbitrary and likely fanciful choosing of Blogs not in the Awards!

The Polls are now officially opened! Send in your 1 Vote for any of the fine blogs mentioned or the Archive. Send an email to eblogawards@gmail.com
with your vote. (Plus check out my sleek new graphic on the Lower Left Hand Corner!)

Thanksgiving: Tulip Girl

From her site:

T7 was tickled this morning when the doctor said he could come home
today. Hubby bundled up the three other boys and met me at the hospital
tonight. My heart felt so full seeing the reunion of all the boys and
how excited they were to see each other. The boys vyed for seats next
to T7 when we stopped at McDs on the way home. C4 kept saying, "You get
to sleep with ME tonight!" And I was just so happy to see Hubby. It’s
good to be home and all together again.

God’s Unlimited Power to Save

What happens to those who have never heard the Gospel? This addresses
the sweeping portions of the population which ranges from the heathen, the
mentally handicapped, the infants, the still-born and the miscarried. Eternal
life unto him who believes (Jn 3:15)?but
what if a person never heard?

Online Dictionary: Geeking-Frenzy

Geeking-Frenzy (verb) gee-king frehn-zee : The activity that
occurs on a message board or blogging portal where a commenter responds to the
post with a ?Geek Ref? (reference from Geekdom history, culture or vernacular).
This single post will inevitably draw other Geeks via search engines or sheer
Irresistible Geek-Grace to post in an exponentially geekier manner. The
activity usually is harmless but creates such a Geek-stench that Norms (normal
people) find themselves repulsed by the posts and may steer clear from a blog
(web log)  for days if not weeks.

[Of import, this is not sparked by ?Trolls? which are
usually quite violent and always turn whatever post back to their pet-topic and
damnations on all who deny them]

Irresistible Geek-Grace: Geekeological term. Firmly places
the free will of an actively-seeking-to-speak Geek under the drawing power of
girls, the chance to trump Norms, or anything from Geekdom (technology, comics,
etc.)
