reciprocated love

i have been noticing lately that my blogroll is getting longer... so long in fact that i no longer get to all the blogs i want to read in a day.... grr.

but, it always means so much to me when someone takes the time to invest in my life. and so, without further adieu, i would like to highlight my reciprocated links in alphabetical order... because you all don't know everyone else and because i love you all and if you make a new blog friend, hey, that's cool. :)

carly bishop is a lovely seattle girl i met through comments she left at jason killingsworth's site, both being fans of good writing. carly herself is a great writer, and i love to visit her site for great stories, much humour, and seeing the love that she has for others. i love talking to carly on msn, she always has something interesting to say. i learn a lot from this girl.

richard bott, a United Church of Canada minister in Ontario. richard, i think, is one of the first people who found my site first and linked me up, which was cool. i like to visit looking back... looking forward because he has some interesting thoughts and opinions, and there are often good discussions going on over there.

andrew careaga is the author of a few good books on internet ministry, surf on over to bloggedy blog and check them out. he's often discussing interesting topics over there in relation to this thing we call Christianity, as well as ministry and other assorted stuff. i learn a lot from this blog.

cc somehow found me here in internet land and linked me up from the other side of the world. working in a hospital, cc's site is an interesting read that i love to check out.

sarah drake's site is one i found very early on off of blogger's most recently updated list. i don't visit it as often as i used to, but i like to read of sarah's adventures into learning to teach.

ian dunn found me through kathleen's site, and surfs in regularly from ohio. ian's love for his church is evident in his site and is often a good read. good humour too.

jennifer dungca i found recently following links from blog to blog... and i love her site. she's getting ready to go do missions in spain, so also check out her new site as she prepares. jenn has some really awesome posts and i love stopping by her site.

kathleen haggerty's was the first blog i ever read, way back last may sometime. kathleen is a lovely girl from boston who's in the midst of getting ready for one very important day, so she doesn't post on a regular basis, but she has some very good content, go and check it out, i particularly like this post.

sarah hedges is a lovely woman of God whom i found in my surfing off from tim's site. i love reading sarah's eloquent thoughts, and her archives have some great gems in them.

tim kang was one of the first Christian bloggers that i found, i surfed in off of blogger's most recently updated. tim's site is one where he deals with the tough issues, the rough issues, and it's interesting to see him grow through his blog.

jen kibler-mccabe i have known for ten years now (wow, has it really been that long jenni?), she sent me a postcard way back in 1993 and we corresponded by mail, later by email, and now we're both blogging. she's the reason i know (some) html, the reason why i had my first webpage! jenni's page is a great adventure of topics, from cats to Christianity to being married to her journey to seminary.

i can't remember exactly how i found sara kruszka's page originally, but this michigan girl has a lovely little blog. i love reading about this journey in life that she's taking.

travis mielonen found me off of carly's blog i think, he's another seattle-ite. not afraid to tackle the big topics, travis' blog is a great read. and, he's getting ready for missions in poland soon so it is interesting to read as he gets ready.

michael morgan has a great blog with a wide variety of topics, from work to witnessing to sites of the week. michael's exuberance for seeing others come to Christ is most evident.

rachel is someone who found me here in internet land and visits often (i love your comments rachel!). it's always interesting talking to rachel on msn messenger when it's actually the next day in new zealand... :)

julie row is a california college student getting ready to graduate... interesting read. i think she stops by here often too. :)

sonafid is also a fairly recent addition to my blogroll, i found her during some random surfing from blog to blog. i love reading about her end-of-college and art show adventures, and i look forward to seeing what is in store for her as she moves into the working world... i'll soon be doing the same thing. :)

ryan wiedmaier is the last of the seattle-ites, who also found me off of carly's site. ryan's a great man of God who's been away at Bible college and now is just home for the summer. i look forward to seeing what God has up his sleeve for ryan these next few months. his blog is a great adventuresome read, and he takes the time to invest in people.

wow! that took a lot longer than i thought it would! but, yeah, thanks guys. follow some links. meet some new people. : )
