Who Let the Dogs Out?

• Scott Hill writes for a brand-new group blog with a canine theme, called "Fide-O." (Is that pronounced like "Fido," or "FiDAY-oh"? Judging from the rottweiler photos, I'd guess it's the former.) Anyway, in his very first post, Scott is talking smack about "the ladies at the Boars Head." My advice to Scott and the rest of the pack at Fide-O: duck and cover.
  
• Steve Hays, one of my all-time favorite blogheroes, may not have the best-looking blog in the blogosphere, but it's always engrossing and fun to read. Sort of like watching an autopsy. Steve dissects the dissent of some of my commenters with his ordinary meticulous attention to detail.
  
• Keith Mikkelson Has a fascinating article about kimchi, well-illustrated with interesting graphics. That's the kind of blogging the PyroManiac likes to see.
  
• Daniel J. Phillips thinks Jan Crouch's hair may be the sign of the Beast.
  
• Troy Walling tests my vision with fine print. I pass.
  
• Jared Bridges compares me to a porcupine. I think of myself more as a hedgehog.
  
• PaulinTexas wishes the rest of my posts were as interesting as the Monday ones.
  
• Rich Gelina agrees that churches cannot live by opinion polls alone.
  
• Scott reminds us that demographics are a moving target.
  
• Kevin Johnson demonstrates his unrivalled skill for making a tedious argument for the wrong side of any issue.
  
• Nathan White has been reading while on vacation in Hilton Head.
  
• Brian Adams at "Christendom Blogosis" still thinks my posts have too much "filler." (Which I gather is a reference to the graphics, which he regards as a waste of bandwidth.) He still wishes I would use Haloscan or other blogware with trackback capability. He still doesn't always agree with me. But he did like my remarks about Fad-Driven® Churches.
  
• Michael Schweppe at "A Cognizant Discourse" posts a cartoon that makes a good point about "the blind pursuit of relevance."
  
• Jeri Massi doesn't really want to turn her blog into a running critique of mine, but she does it anyway.
  
• David Wayne at "Jollyblogger" perpetuates the "Books that Will Never Be Written" meme.
  
• Carla Rolfe is encouraged. You should be also.
