Before you ask, I am not being paid for this endorsement.<\/p>\n

I just spent several delightful minutes reading the blogs of my friends Larry W. Timm,

\"\"<\/a>

Larry W. Timm<\/p><\/div> and Rajdeep Paulus.<\/a>

\"\"<\/a>

Rajdeep Paulus<\/p><\/div> Both are people I met at the ACFW<\/a> conference two years ago. And it was my great pleasure to spend time with them this past year. <\/p>\n

Smart, funny, and insightful. They bring a great deal of joy to my day. I love seeing their posts in my email box. (I subscribe to both of them. I don’t subscribe to anyone else.) They always have something interesting to say.<\/p>\n

They are different in their content. Larry writes about writing for the most part, sometimes a bit about his world as a Pastor. Rajdeep writes about writing as well, but she covers everything else from tree houses to Broadway shows. Between the two of them I wind up a better person each day. My horizons are broadened and my mind expanded. Which is good, because the only other thing that expands on a regular basis is my waist. <\/p>\n

Do you have an author or blogger (really the same thing these days) that you follow faithfully? Is there a secret guilty pleasure blog you read knowing it would shock your friends? I have several like that, but since they are not safe for work or kids I’ll forego the links. (Nothing terrible, but they are military and political blogs with a great deal of “salty” language and the occasional noxious picture.)<\/p>\n

If you’re a Christian author\/blogger and would like to trade links, let me know via the comment feature on this blog. I’ll scope out your blog and see if we have a match. After all, you already know what I write, it’s only fair that I see what you have to offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
