I love to read. And a huge amount of what I read each day comes from blogs on the internet. I pointed out the richness and methods of reading blogs a couple of days ago (go here to read what I wrote), while also introducing the list of my 75 favorite blogs, beginning with #75 to #51. Out of the roughly 180 blogs I’m “subscribed” to, these 75 are the ones I most look forward to reading each day. So continuing on, here is the next set of my favorites, #50 to #26:
50. Jennifer’s Favorite Links (Other-Links)
Links to fascinating stories from all around the internet; usually about 1 link every couple of days.
49. Patrick Madrid’s Blog (Christian-Catholic)
Personal blog of popular Catholic apologist Patrick Madrid.

47. Sainthood Project (Christian-Catholic)
Offers tips and challenges to live a more saintly life.
46. Desiring God Blog (Christian-Reformed)
The blog of Desiring God Ministries, headed by popular writer and preacher John Piper. I don’t always agree with the bloggers at Desiring God, but the large majority of their stuff is very good food for the soul.
45. Albert Mohler’s Blog (Christian-Baptist)
The personal blog of the President of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; another guys I don’t always agree with, but most of what he says is very good and well-articulated.
44. Fallible Blogma (Christian-Catholic)
A site offering social and political commentary on the news from the perspective of a young Catholic man.

Again, if you want to learn a little more about “blogs” or the best ways to efficiently read them, check out a previous post I wrote on “Blogs and RSS Basics”. And like last time, if you’d like to list some of your favorite blogs, then feel free to leave a comment below, even if it’s your own blog (permission is hereby granted for unbridled self-promotion)!
