Blog of the Week (3/27 to 4/3)
Featured Blog: This week’s Blog of the Week is none other than the fantastic, the frequently updated, the “now with Edges” (but no knobby things) Bittersweet Life. Shocking? Not really. If you’ve been around this site for long, if you’ve read the comments, followed the links, seen the references made, then it will come as no surprise to you that Bittersweet Life is one of my favorite blogs. The site is maintained by the most excellent Ariel Vanderhorst (don’t think Little Mermaid, instead think Lion of God), a trash-talking, hoops playing, awen breathing, poetry-crafting theologian with a penchant for biting satire and complex yet relevant exegesis. Dare I say it? This blog goes to 11.
Blog Topics Covered: Reformed Theology, book reviews, current events, poetry, fiction, photography, relevant scriptural application, basketball, college life.
Frequency Updated: Daily (frequently there are multiple updates in a single day)
Pros: Consistent, high-quality content covering a wide variety of topics, fantastic prose, frequent C. S. Lewis references, no fear of controversy, copious yet clever comments (there’s this one guy, gymbrall, he cracks me up… yes, that’s my blogger username… stupid full disclosure.)
Cons: Likes Mark Driscoll. Blatant KU basketball fanboi.
Sample posts: Jarring Incarnation, A Snapshot of Jesus’ Glory

Thanks for this shot in the ego, Charles! I guess I won’t give up this blogging thing quite yet.

Enjoy it, cause in a week, it’ll be back to constant mockery.
