My cyber-buddy and truly one of the funniest Christian bloggers in cyberspace HiScrivener (The Writing on the Wall), has bestowed upon this little blog a really cool sounding award, the Noblesse Oblige (in French, “nobility obligates”).
And with only a minor obligation, I nobly accept this award.
Now the minor obligation (or, the rules): award recipients should post the logo, nominate and link up to nine people worthy of the award, and recognize the person who nominated them with a little link love.
As I scan my blogroll, I notice that many of my blogging brethren have been nominated by other noble obligees. Nevertheless, my nominees are:
- Robert Jimenez at Inquiring Minds
- Bob McDonald at Bob’s Log, Sufficiency and others (Bob is really noble, and really obligated)
- Brian Fulthorp at Living the Crucified Life
- Gary Zimmerli at The Sundry Times
- Bitsy Griffin at Jack of All Trades
- Rev. Mark Stevens at Scripture, Ministry, and the People of God
- Esteban VaZqueZ at The Voice of Stefan (upon his return to the blogosphere, and upon his completion of various computer repairs and/or upgrades) UPDATE 6/10/09: Esteban is back and better than ever and now here at WordPress.
- Bryan at Katagraphais (a new member of the BOB blogroll and my Google Reader)
- and last, but certainly not least, my very own pastor, Eric von Atzigen whose new blog Monday Morning Review is off to a good start

I’m glad I wasn’t nominated. Not that I would be worthy. I don’t like these awards where you have to post the graphic on your site and nominate a whole bunch of people. I would rather just not deal with it or participate in these evil schemes to promote someone’s blog. (partly joking on the last part) They’re even worse than memes.
No disrepect intended to HiScrivener or the obviously deserved recipients.

Yeah, well nomination or just sundry blogging, your work is obviously recognized by many out here in the blogosphere.
I even thought of linking to you last week. I figure if it’s good enough for Lopez, the award-winning blogger, it’s good enough for me.
Peace, Jeff.

Thank you for the kind words.
I probably have other issues with awards that I’m not even aware. If I believed in therapy I’d ask my therapist about it.

Indeed. I certainly would have nominated you, of course, but you haven’t seemed up to much blogging lately, so I had mercy on you. Next meme, perhaps.

Peter – thanks for the plug. Though I had better be careful where I put it or the water won’t drain and my roots will drown.
#6 by petermlopez on June 4, 2009 - 2:13 pm
Indeed. Or you could just put it everywhere. As I understand it, it goes to the blogger, not the blog, so put it on every blog and see where it takes root (good soil and all).

Ah – that kind of plug – !

Oops! Sorry, I was a little slow on the comeback. Your plug reference went right over my head.

Thanks, Peter, I appreciate your friendship. But right now I gotta head home from work and away from this fine little computer, so I’ll write about it on my blog tomorrow!

No problem. Take your time, whenever you get to it is fine.

First of all, I would like to thank all of the little people, without whome none of this would have been possible. Thank you to all of the characters of the Bible for giving us a lifetime of blogging material. Thank you to Al Gore for inventing the internet and making blogging possible. Thank you to Dell for my handy dandy laptop. And thank you to Peter Lopez, my blogging coach and personal friend for his kindness, patience, and this prestigious nomination.
I shall endeavour to live up to such lofty recognition

Okay, acceptance speeches have to happen on your blog. I think that’s the whole point of awards like this.
#13 by Esteban Vázquez on June 10, 2009 - 10:59 am
Why, thank you for bestowing on me this chic and prestigious award! Of course, it is only a testament to my superior blogging that I received not one, but two awards while in a 3-month hiatus.
(P.S.: Thanks for the Z’s.)
#14 by petermlopez on June 10, 2009 - 1:26 pm
You are most welcome (and deserving-even if your mail carrier is a little slow).
#15 by hiscrivener on June 16, 2009 - 5:59 am
And as for you, kind sir, thanks for the love.
You know, if I ever win another award, I’ll be sure to donate a portion of my lionshare to T. Boone Pickens in your name with the obligation that he names a windmill on those rolling Sweetwater plains in your name.
#16 by petermlopez on June 16, 2009 - 12:52 pm
I’d rather you donate it to me in his name.
#17 by hiscrivener on June 18, 2009 - 12:49 pm
OK. I have contributed $5 in your name for next year’s Rattlesnake Round-up. I figure with your punditry for the Gospels, perhaps you could instruct the 2010 attendees what not to do in a church.
Enjoy.
#18 by petermlopez on June 18, 2009 - 1:49 pm
I’ll do my best, kind sir.
#19 by Robert Jimenez on September 3, 2009 - 10:35 am
Peter, I do thank you kind sir for this nomination. Sorry I was not able to attend on the day it was presented, but apparently I completely missed this during my blogging hiatus.
#20 by Peter on September 3, 2009 - 11:27 am
No sweat.
