I”m amazed that people go about their business without knowing what a blog is. Their lives must be so empty.

I’m always mentioning my blog to people who have no clue what a blog is, which always garners me the “you’re a big ol’ martian” look. Good thing I’m thick skinned!

that is rather interesting…doesn’t often happen in this day and age. what i’m most impressed with is the # of bloggers who are Christians…it is such a blessing!!!!

I, too, enjoy reading controversial books. Partly because I like to know what it is that people are talking about and form my own opinion. Partly because, like Marcus, I like to be challenged. It's great that you can see those moments as opportunities! spaghettipies last blog post..Confronting My Selfishness

“the majority of the population is not blog savvy.” Boy, is that ever true. Last year at the BlogWorld conference, I told someone on the street I was there for a blog convention and they looked at me like I’d stumbled out of a Star Trek geek fest.

Also, I agree about the importance of reading controversial books. However, I read them because they challenge me.
