2009 SBC Voices BLOG MADNESS: Opening Round Has Started

Well… good to know I’m not gonna get whipped on this year… 🙂

Thanks for including my blog in the original “bubble” blogs! As a first year blogger, I am grateful someone even noticed.

I also wanted to point out to you that you’ve listed “A Man from Issachar” twice in the West Division…somebody’s probably missing their chance to be included in that group too.

I appreciate SBC Voices and the role it plays in the blogosphere…

Hey, Tony. I’ve always enjoyed SBC Voices and I appreciate the work you’ve put into it. I’ve only been blogging a few months and know I don’t stand a chance in this contest, but it’s fun anyway. Just having my name included on the list makes me feel a little like that annoying donkey in Shrek that jumps and down and says “Pick me! Pick me!”

Now, for a really stupid question: Do you vote by clicking on the blog link?

Barry Wallaces last blog post..D.A. Carson coming to Union University in April

Okay, that’s weird. Scratch my last question. Now there are voting buttons where there were only links and result before. I must have been on the wrong page.

WHAT!!! No Banner?!? It’s scandelous! I demand a recount… or a hanging chadwick or something.

Maybe I’ll just go get a cup of coffee instead.

Pastor Jims last blog post..The State of Marriage

I consider it an omen which indicates I should win this contest: The gift card is $313 …. this is 3/13 … Friday the 13th in fact … and I was married 3/13 … Also Friday the 13th … and this happens to be #50.

So … I’m prognosticating extremely bad luck for anyone who’s not me, that wins this thing. 50 years’ worth. If youse guyz out there have any mercy at all on all those other bloggers, you’d best vote for Eagles’ Rest, Southern Division (note: I’m from Indiana, originally, but I DO have my naturalization papers .. plus the required two non-running cars).

The perfect blend of guilt, shame and fear—irresistible.

Pastor Jims last blog post..The State of Marriage

TONY!!!!

How could you put the two sites I write for against each other in round one!!!! Just tell me if you dont like me!

If SBC Voices wins do I get to pick out a book for you to buy me?

Matt Svobodas last blog post..Go Vote!!! March Madness- Blog Style

Had to vote for Matthew-keep it in the family!

Okay… Being an 11 seed now in 8th. Not a bad start. Let’s see if Evangelical Village can be the cinderella story!

East??? I swear on the soul of J. B. Gambrell that I’ve never lived east of the Mississippi River.

Bart,

see rule #1

Dave Millers last blog post..Thorns on a Rose: An Analysis of Dr. Yarnell’s Sermon

I did not even know I was in this till today. But it is on now :-). Stetzer is the Tar Heels. I am a mid major. But cinderella is coming.

alvin reids last blog post..Vote for my blog!

iMonk was on Drudge; he should win in a walk.

Marty Durens last blog post..I need your vote!

I had no idea that there was such an embarrassment of riches of high quality theological reflection and cultural commentary–and so much of it lodged in the SBC!!
I was a little surprised to see that the prize money was $313. I thought it could have been at least another $353, just to really motivate everyone.
Honest–I am only familiar with a small number of these blogs, and several of the best Christian blogs I know of are not SBC. C’est la vie.

First round dominations is good, but this competition is far from over. The goal of round one is stay alive, style points don’t count.

Tony Kummers last blog post..WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH BAPTISM?

I had my cup of coffee. Now I’m wondering if there’s an NIT that The Banner won’t qualify for….

Pastor Jims last blog post..Out of the Closet

I’m pretty sure I missed 600 votes while the polls were down yesterday. You can go ahead and add them now. Thx.

Marty Durens last blog post..I need your vote!

I’d be ashamed to be in the competition unless I was the internetmonk who truly is a Voice In the Wilderness.
The SBC has become one of 2 things.
1. old dying churches that refuse all change.
2. churches that either are are want to be mega-churches leading people to hell.

Rob Loflands last blog post..Why I Don’t Enjoy (Most) CCM

Thanks for including my blog. I’m setting my goals high this year. I just hope I don’t get last. Although, the last will be first…

Justin Childerss last blog post..Vote for CROSS-eyed!

Ahhh! I don’t have time to peruse all these blogs I haven’t seen before. But alas, I must. Thanks for the list. I will not thank you for the time I am about to lose checking them out:)

I guess Mohler isn’t listed here because he doesn’t allow comments to be posted in return, but his blog is at the top of my daily reading list.

Is it a mark of insanity to vote for Ascol and Lumpkins in the same poll?

Hey, thanks for including More Than Cake in the competition. It is just like the college playoffs… I live near Seattle, WA and am in the East Division 🙂

J.R. Millers last blog post..B Salt & Light on the Playground – A Child’s Tale

ditto, Joe…I live in Maryland and am in the West Division! That’s what happens with the lower seeded selections, I guess; they just put us where they have room…I’m just happy to be in the tourney at all!

David Jacksons last blog post..Monday Morning Rewind: Money Matters

Hah, we made the tourney, and we have 27 votes! How ’bout that?! About 300 behind, but still.

kschaubs last blog post..“The New Calvinism”

Just in case you all are interested, sbc IMPACT is hosting a March Madness pick ’em for the NCAA tourney (generally aimed at SBC bloggers, as Art Rogers has done in the past). Since he’s out of country right now, we thought we’d pick up for him.

You see, it’s one thing to have bragging rights about your blog, but another altogether to be the best basketball prognosticator… 🙂

Check it out here: sbc IMPACT March Madness Tourney.

John Stickleys last blog post..Stress…

@Darren,

Hmmmm…. Probably.

Barry Wallaces last blog post..You can never go home again REDUX

To all 40 folks who voted for me. Thanks so very much. I am humbled to have your support. Life is full of surprises! selahV

selahVs last blog post..SECOND CHANCES, APOLOGIES AND LINGERING QUESTIONS

Can we close the voting while I’m still ahead of Beth Moore?

Tims last blog post..Sprind gets 14 years

I thought I was up to date on SBC blogs, but it looks like I’ve got some reading to do!

Brians last blog post..Looking back: One Day 2000

Hi Sir:
I enjoy reading your blog. Thanks.

Just wanted to say that I read your blog quite frequently and I’m always amazed at some of the stuff people post here. But keep up the good work, it’s always interesting.
See ya,
