Link Loved
Brody’s blog today was titled Link Loved and we were challenged to list the top 5 blogs that send traffic to your blog. Being such a new blogger, mine is going to be that as well including blogs that link to me, so hear goes:
1. My Random Thoughts, Thomas talks about his faith and commentary on life. His was among the first blogs I read. Thomas is also a great supporter of my radio shows. You should go and check him out!!
2. P. D. Ross from his personal blog and Jesus Greater Than. I met P.D. through the 40 Day Fast, and have an interview with him for next weeks show. He is also the official sponsor of the podcast.
3. Inspired To Action is the website for the 40 day Fast, of which I am blogging on July 8.
4. Mercy Me was kind enough to make a S.L.O.B of me and add me to the slobroll. Be sure to check out the cover tunes grab bag. It is the most original and funny series of videos ever. They raise the bar for awesomeness every time.
To the best of my knowledge, those are the only blogs linking to me at this time. Maybe next time Brody does this I will have a better idea. Have a great 4th of July!
