Hey there all my friends in the blogosphere! Ever since I've been blogging on my own blog and reading other people's blogs, I've pretty much been consistent in posting my own blogs regularly as well as cruising around to all your blogs. I LOVE reading the things that others have to say, and I love being part of the conversations.
Just wanted to say that I had to hit the "nuke" button on my feed reader today. :( Lots of other great stuff going on in life has kept me from this joy of mine, and I had to mark 243 unread blog posts in my feed reader as "read" (past tense) without having actually read them. As some of you know, I have around 80 blogs in my reader, give or take. I've often tried to scale down but as I said I love reading all the blogs so it's hard to delete any!
Anyhoo... If I've been absent from your blog, or have failed to respond to one of your comments on mine, you now know why! Just wanted to 'splain myself. I'm now starting over, with Zero unread blogs. :)
Off to watch the season finale of Psych.

Updated blog list
A little shop talk.
In case you haven't seen it, I added the Blog List gadget to the side of my blog the other day, as well as the "Followers" gadget. (I formerly had some blogs linked to using my own HTML). I don't necessarily like the word "Followers" in this respect (perhaps "Readers" would be better?). But nevertheless my main purpose in using these features is simply because over the past couple of years I've seen how blogging has connected various people around the world, and to me this is simply one more way for people to connect. I'm also planning an update to my list of websites when I can get around to it.
I also want to say that my list is somewhat diverse, and they're listed according to "most recently updated." It includes 'real life' friends and family, as well as many people who I've met only through blogging and online forums. I, of course, read a lot of blogs that are based upon grace and freedom in the Lord Jesus Christ and I also read various other blogs that have other aspects to them that interest me. In say all this as kind of a disclaimer. My list is not necessarily an endorsement of all these blogs (around 70 at the present time) and neither do I believe all these people would necessarily endorse this blog. :)
By the way, if you know that I regularly read your blog, and/or if you comment here on this blog, and your name is not on my blog list - please let me know! I took only a little bit of time to import the feeds from my feed reader into Google Reader and then into the Blog List, and I had a some difficulties along the way and I just didn't have time to make sure I had every last blog added. If you're not there, there's a 99% chance that it was an accident.
In case you're wondering - No I don't read ALL these blogs every day! One obvious reason is that many of them don't get updated every day. But also, with limited time, I kind of scan the headlines and pick and choose what I actually read out of the ones that are updated frequently. Some of you who are closer friends - I do read all your blog posts.
Happy blogging!
