Today has been set aside (in my mind!) as Comment Day for my fellow bloggers! Today, when you read a blog (and I hope you will read many) I want you to take the time and leave a comment for the writer. You cannot imagine how special it is is to pour out your soul (or at least a few random thoughts) in a blog post and have someone respond to your words or add to your thoughts. It is truly a blessing.
I love writing this blog, and it has given me more than I could have ever expected. It has given me discipline, it has improved my prayer life, it has connected me with old friends I thought were lost and gone forever, and it has given me new friends that I count as blessings. Many of you have left me comments since I began this adventure, and for that I am beyond grateful. But today is not about me! I am going to read at least 30 blogs today and comment on each of them, and I simply ask that you join me in affirming the writers that you love to read.
If you need help finding blogs, there is a list on bottom right of this page, or you can click on my profile to see even more. If you would like me to read your blog today, just send me a link at youthguy07@aol.com or tweet a link to @youthguy07. And if you would like to read a vintage post of mine just to stay sharp (lol) check out Boy Like Me, Man Like You from September 23, 2009. It's one of my favorites.
So go read. Enjoy. And comment. Be a blessing to a blogger today!
Because of Jesus,
I was just listening to Klove Radio and they were talking about being blessed to be a blessing. I thought how could I be blessing to someone and then I read your blog like I do most mornings. Great idea a small way to be a blessing to a blogger today!! Thanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteJust a note, I have been reading your blog for months and never commented.
