Favorite is probably IM here, if only for the sanity and grace orientation. In different directions, Krusty and RLP both have challenging, well written, and very human (at times very funny) blogs. My own inspiration has been The Life and Opinions of Andrew Rilstone, for probably the opposite of your reasons. It taught me that odd literary/social criticism, in-depth analysis of Dr. Who, and discussions of how C.S. Lewis might feel about torture in war can find a home on one readable (and read) website. I find Rilstone's site has probably encouraged "bad habbits" in me--use of obscure terminology, unconcern with the generic "consistency" of entries, &c. At the same time I realized I could blog "poorly," still engage in sometimes-helpful dialog, and not take up too much "real life" time. I guess I don’t have much to add.

Though I follow a couple hundred blogs on Google Reader, these have my ear whenever they speak, and even when I disagree. They are all church practitioners: elders, planters. 1. <a href="http://www.goodmanson.com/" rel="nofollow">Drew Goodmanson</a> 2. <a href="http://churchplantingnovice.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Jonathan Dodson</a> 3. <a href="http://timchester.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Tim Chester</a> 4. <a href="http://jeremypryor.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Jeremy Prior</a> 5. <a href="http://www.joethorn.net/" rel="nofollow">Joe Thorn</a> Let me add the list of blogs I check every day and read every post.

Rick has a GREAT list in his comments. :) By the way, I'm starting a series of posts about changes happening in my church, so look for that Rick. I've had some reasons for avoiding such topics for a while. I’m not at T4G.

I agree with Jared; your blog is indispensable. But I would add that so is Jared's. a few others: Desiring God Blog: I don't necessarily appreciate some of the other authors, but John Piper's posts are usually very brief, to-the-point snippets that can be read in under a minute. I wish that other well known authors/speakers/preachers/pastors would take time to do that. Crummy Church Signs: when it comes to humor blogs focused on an extremely specific topic, you can't get any better than this...

What he does best is encourage his readers to see how Christianity, culture and vocation tie together. I have been challenged, strengthened and enlightened by his blog posts and the ensuing discussions.
