What you said in 2008 - Slick Breeze

To wrap up a look at some of my favorite blog posts from others in 2008, we now turn to my holier-than-thou twin-brother-from another-mother in-a-parallel-universe, The Extra Very Reverend J. Slick Breeze. Actually, I can't say that these are "favorites" of mine, but, well, the man is family so I thought I'd include him anyway.

The first one was actually posted on my blog, as I did ol' Slick a favor and introduced him to the world (well, to those who read my blog). The other two are the only two posts he wrote in 2008. I reckon he's too busy going around preaching the law and raising funds for his ministry, and simply doesn't have much time to blog.

1. Introducing my alter ego - The Rev. J. Slick Breeze (posted on my blog 5/13/08)
2. Send Money (Grease Roots - The Very Extra Rev. J. Slick Breeze - 5/14/08)
3. Your support is necessary (Grease Roots - The Very Extra Rev. J. Slick Breeze - 11/18/08)

Almost done with these (some "slick" ones coming tomorrow... LOL), although there's a lot more I could share if I'd been more organized! ;) As I said in the beginning, I don't mean to exclude anyone, but I wasn't consistent in bookmarking all my favorite posts and I just haven't had time to go back and make sure everyone was included. Anyway, I love your blogs! I love the victories shared, the struggles shared, the realities of life shared. I love the talk of the love and grace of God, and of life in the body of Christ. Thanks so much for blogging, and keep it up! If you don't yet have your own blog, what's stopping you?!

Another "sandwich" here. :) (I honestly did not set these up this way... my list of my fav's of '08 is all completely random). Here are the two bloggers who I have known longer than most of the other bloggers that I know, sandwiching the blogger who probably has the most "different" (in a good way) blog out of all those that I read (that's a compliment, LivingSword)!

I met both Bino and "In Christ Alone" through the Grace Walk Forum, in my B.B. years (Before Blogging). Another interesting side note that I just realized - there are two Canadians here, and one from India (living in the U.S.).

19. Approval Addiction - Overcoming (Branch of Vine - Bino M. - 4/23/08)
20. Martin Luther: Indulgences (Life on the Blade - LivingSword - 2/17/08)
21. Peace! (nightwatch - In Christ Alone - 7/25/08)

Some of my favorite blog posts of 2008, continued.

4. Expecting to sin (Recover Your Good Heart - Jim Robbins - 9/29/08)
5. Faith is the Assurance of Things Not Seen (Somewhere in my Memory - Matthew Daelon - 4/10/08)

I highly recommend taking time to watch all 5 days. Also, in addition to Steve's written posts, he also posted a series of videos called "101 Lies Taught in Church Every Sunday." If you missed them, or want to see them again, go to his blog and search for the phrase "101 Lies Taught in Church." You'll find the first 77 videos that way. After that, the post titles were simply entitled "Lie #__."

The world of blogging sure has opened me up to friendships with a lot of wonderful people! It was so great reading all of your blogs in 2008. For the next week or two, I'd like to share some of my favorite blog posts of yours from the past year. Right off the bat, I have to admit (actually this is more of a disclaimer) that I'm certain that I'll leave some people out because I didn't quite keep up with this in the way I had hoped to do throughout the year! At the beginning of the year I created a folder on my desktop in which I intended to save my favorite posts, and I did somewhat ok with it, but not as good as I'd hoped. In other words, I didn't save all my favorite posts, so please don't take it personally if one of yours doesn't show up. But I do want to shine the spotlight on my friends, so let's get to it! These will be absolutely random!

1. Isn't Salvation By Grace? (Caesura - Aussie John - 11/8/08)
2. If Forgiveness Can't Be Earned... (With Unveiled Face - Free Spirit - 8/23/08)
3. Winter - a season of rest (Forgetting the Former Things - Aida - 12/1/08)
