blogs I like to read

posted by adam on 09.28.2006

A Pilgrim’s Progress - Mike Frizzell’s blog. Mostly theological in nature. Sometimes I think he’s right on and sometimes I disagree with him, but he’s consistently well thought out and interesting to read.

Over the past week two of my readers have been taking me to task. In response to a post expressing the idea that love is the greatest possible weapon against hate, they have asserted that I am a hypocrite, selfish, dishonest, a liar, a gossip and generally ignorant in the nature of love.
