Blogrolling Maintenance

If you look around on the blog today you can see a few minor adjustments.  I have added a link with graphic to Tim Challies Diet of Bookworms over on the left.  If you haven't been there yet, Tim is fashioning this to become the place to go on the internet for book reviews from a conservative and reformed viewpoint. 

On the right side I've added a new category called "Ministry."  This includes links to sites that I would classify as "sites I like but of which I didn't know exactly what category they fit best in so I created this general category of ministry."  Most of these sites are in one of the many blogrolls on my blog, but I wanted to feature them as particularly good blogs that I enjoy. 

I've also expanded the category of "Philosophy" to "Philosophy/Apologetics."  I moved the Dawn Treader from culture to the Philsophy/Apologetics category and added a few more blogs to it.

You'll also see a new link in my theology section to Reggie Kidd's blog.  Reggie (pronounced with a hard "g" as in "dog") is one of my old seminary profs and is also the Worship Pastor at Orangewood Presbyterian Church in Orlando, FL.  I've got a soft spot for Orangewood in my heart.  Back when I was in youth ministry I was on a committee that ran youth camps for several presbyteries in Florida and we used to hold many of our planning meetings at Orangewood.  Two of my fellow youth ministers at the time, whom I love and respect dearly, are now pastors at Orangewood.  Jeff Jakes, who was the youth director back in the day, is now the senior pastor and Chuck Berry, who was youth minister at Seven Rivers Presbyterian in Lecanto, FL back in the day, is now an associate at Orangewood.  If you are in Orlando, I recommend you stop by and check out Orangewood.

And, if you meet Reggie when you are visiting in Orlando tell him he needs to blog about the apostle Paul.  Reggie is also a pretty fair Pauline scholar in his own right.  He blogs mostly on worship issues, but I'd like to see him add his voice to some of these discussions on Paul and the new perspective going on in the blogosphere.  For now, you'll just have to check out his Paul page at Third Millennium ministries. 

Also, check out Common Grounds Online.  This is the blog of Glen Lucke who co-authored the book Common Grounds.  This is a group blog which has some pretty impressive people involved.
