Mary tagged me as a thinking blogger. (Hey, thanks, girl! I'll name my rock band after you, or something.)

Now my mission, should I choose to accept it: Nominate five thinking blogger blogs. So I give you my picks for five intelligent, thought-provoking blogs:

Leftcoastsunburn blog – Seminary student Benji Bruneel looks at places where Christian culture at large (as opposed to at small?) gets it wrong and challenges readers to rise above the status quo.

Scrawny Pulpit blog – Lance Ward, a pastor, speaks to the times, encouraging readers to engage their minds and hearts. Sometimes he steps on toes.

Tot and Jittle – An anonymous blogger takes a satirical look what he (she?) sees at Dallas Seminary. Not saying I agree with it all, but a little navel-gazing for the purpose of improving is what healthy journalism is all about.

Chip MacGregor’s blog – Chip, who happens to be my agent (but that's not why I chose his blog), tells it like it is about the writer’s life. I especially liked his entry about the ego.

Svigeland blog - Mike Svigel sometimes speaks devotionally, sometimes humorously, always insightfully.

Do you have a favorite blog that makes you think? Post it as a comment below. The first five to do so will receive a 2.5-ounce bag of Starbucks decaf house blend coffee.
