Emerging/Missional Link Love

Brother Maynard has started a meme of sorts:

"Here’s what we’re going to do. Think of between 3 and 5 blogs which you think are under-rated, under-appreciated, or under-valued. More people should be reading them, in other words. They need to be blogging largely on EMC themes and topics, and they should not be on the list of leading blogs on these areas, say 150ish+ links on Technorati. Got your list? I’ll wait. If you come up with 7, that’s fine… you can borrow 2 from someone else. ;^)

You’ll find below a list of blogs that I feel deserve more attention. Yes, some are compadres, but others are people I’ve never met, I just read their blogs. To participate, copy this list into a new post on your own blog, and add the names you have to the bottom of the list, and encourage others to do the same. Your list will be about twice the length of mine, and people who follow you will have lists three times this length. It could get fairly long, but that’s part of the point — each link will help boost the undervalued blog’s profile… and you might even get some link love from it too! Include these instructions (this and the preceding paragraph). When you’ve done that, leave a trackback or comment below, or link to this post so we can keep track of who ends up participating. Sound like fun for the weekend? Okay, here we go, in no particular order:

• Emerging Grace
• Robbymac
• Lily a.k.a. Erin
• Nathan Colquhoun
• John Smulo
• Who’s Next?

If you follow the links in the comments at Brother Maynard's post, you'll find long lists where person after person has added to the list.

Honored to be in Brother Maynard's 5, I have taken the time to participate even while away on vacation. But I didn't have time to hunt down the longest list that's out there to add mine to...the wi-fi is sketchy here and I want to get this up before my connection dies again.

So without further ado - here are my additions:

• Gary Means
• Pam Hogeweide
• Traillady
• Cindy Bryan
• Bruce/YBMT

Oh, and a resounding welcome to anyone who found their way here via the list. Thanks so much for stopping by - please leave me a comment so I know you were here!
