I loved Christelle's idea about the missions and things happening within our churches that people would like to submit to you and maybe, mix that in with the highlighted blogs. There are so many out there that I love to follow and I know there are many, many more that I don't get around to or know about...I just don't have the time to read them all. That would be a great way to introduce us to different outstanding blogs.
I appreciate all that you have done and continue to do...it is all very time consuming. May God bless you for all your time and effort.
Oh- one other thought- maybe highlight various missions projects going on within the network- ie- Deanna is going on her trip to Africa- it would be fun to read about her adventure... updates from the church that was flooded - see how people helped with that event- see what our international bloggers are doing overseas and in Mexico/Canada- etc... just another thought :)
The fact that you are networking blogs of the same interest is ministry in itself! Many of us have become praying friends because of this ministry and have found support from each other... I wouldn't stress about where it goes... God seems to be working regardless... I do like the idea of a post from blogs around the network... You could also have people in the network serve as guest bloggers- just an idea... honestly, Im happy with it being a source of networking in itself :)
First, thanks for providing this forum! You've done a wondering thing here, and I've really enjoyed reading other blogs. It is always a pleasure to read what others in our Fellowship are thinking. I've also directed some friends to join, which they've done.
As for Blog of the Week - Pretty neat thing but completely subjective. Whomever takes it up will like a certain form of writing (i.e. whimsical, strident, pointed, deep, etc...). I would suggest letting it go. Highlighting a blog that catches your fancy from time-to-time is probably more appropriate. You are the moderator, therefore it is your opinion that counts!
