Hugh Hewitt got me thinking
I guess in light of this post by Hugh Hewitt i should say something! I would be over-reaching to suggest that my blog has brought about any changes of significance, at least not that i know of. I started the blog because of people like Normal Rockstar and then became inspired by people like Shaun, Randy, Chad and Carlos. Their influence and that of Hugh's Book have been instrumental BUT to what end? I know at least one blogger & friend who "might' say i influenced her to start a blog. Get involved with her search for Polaroid here.
Possibly the most fulfilling thing for me has been the bond formed with downhere and atiG. I think i am going to take some credit for that, even if i do say so myself, at least in the months following their first visit to Ireland. The blog connection also brought us Shaun Groves soon after and has connected us with other industry people that are benefitting our vision to see the best Christian Music introduced to Europe.
I am saying this here in the knowledge that not too many folks will read this. I sometimes stick my head above the trench and can be a little brash but usually i don't like a fuss. Thanks for reading, thanks for linking and thanks for influencing.

I think that anytime our blogs can question and challenge each other... bring thoughts to the forefront that we should be thinking... it is a good thing. My blog is just an online journal that occasionally has a person stop by and comment. I love to hear their thoughts on issues I am challenged with.
I read your blog every day, though I'm not sure how I got linked up with it, and appreciate your thoughts on what's going on in the world. Thanks SS.
Marty: do you have a blog? i can link you if you do, thanks for reading
This is it (from hugh): "'Evangelical Manifestos' of the future will not have to be read, but will be evidenced by the changes they have brought about. They will not have to be announced, merely recognized."
That's what you're doing, brother. I love it, so keep it up! :)

Picking up on Brandon's quote from Hugh, "'Evangelical Manifestos' of the future will not have to be read, but will be evidenced by the changes they have brought about. They will not have to be announced, merely recognized."
Or another way of putting it: "the gospel is to be performed and not just proclaimed." — Graham McFarlane, commenting on Scott McKnight's Embracing Grace.
The truth of the gospel is seen in how we behave, not what we say we believe.
