Quick Note on (Biblio)blogging

I note quite a debate around the blogs I read regarding just what is a biblioblog. For a long time, this blog was listed as a “related” blog, then a few months ago was “upgraded” to a biblioblog, and I’ve been in the top 50 ever since, and even made the top 10 a time or two. I’m not going to join the debate. As long as I’m so classified, I will participate in the community by displaying the badge and linking to the biblioblog library. If the classification changes, I’ll still be linking to lots of biblioblogs (however defined), because I subscribe to a number in my reader, and read quite a few more via links from those.

As far as topics are concerned, I find that many times when I think I have written something significant, nobody notices. At other times, when I think I’ve batted out a few throwaway lines, I get a bunch of links. I’m not sure whether my “significance meter” is on the blink or if my readers are, on average, a bit weird. It could be both.

My most popular post at the moment is one that relates to the Bible, though it isn’t very academic: Ephesians 6:18 – Always Pray in the Spirit. That struck me this morning because yesterday I wrote a post titled A Sense of the Spiritual, in which I noted that it can be hard to really feel a Bible story as the original hearers might have without also having (or at least truly understanding, I suppose) a strong sense of the nearness of the spiritual realm as they did.

So much for reflections …
