Biblioblog Top 50
The Biblioblog Top 50 for July is out, and here are the highlights:
- BOB’s good friend Elshaddai Edwards is No. 14 which is especially sad given this announcement. You will be missed, my friend.
- BOB’s newest friend and fellow “end-times revival” debater (here and here), Polycarp, stays strong at No. 2, virtually neck-and-neck with No. 1.
- Coming in at No. 1 again this month, you guessed it, Dr. Jim West. You know, I’ve changed my mind wanting Polycarp to dethrone Jim, even if just for a month…it’s almost too fun having Jim remain atop the list.
- And, last but not least, yours truly cracks the top five finishing a strong 4th.
Thank you guys very much for reading.

Peter, congrats on your jump. Yeah, Elshaddai would be missed around here.

Indeed.

Congratulations to you Peter! Number 4 this month! Quite a nice spot for one of my favorite bloggers

What a way to start the month, brother. See, and who says blogging isn’t fulfilling?!

Absolutely, thanks.

I have to wonder why El Shaddai left us?
‘Changed’ your mind? Have you been brain washed? Did he bribe you? Are you sinking into depravity?
Can you imagine the fun it will be when he is dethroned? Oh, yes… O Happy Day.
Oh, Peter, and when he is…I shall remember this post.

Okay, you’ve changed my mind back. Go for it.

I’ve been wondering that too Joel – about El Shaddai. He left so fast it makes me wonder if something happened.

I saw that he even removed his domain name back to wordpress.com. I hope all is well with him.

Thank you very much.

All is well. I have simply come to the realization that – for me – the blog was not an authentic portrayal of “a pure heart, a good conscience and a genuine faith” (1 Tim 1:5), and that I need to find a different, more purposeful way of walking the walk.
#14 by petermlopez on August 3, 2009 - 9:24 am
ESE, best wishes to you on your walk, may you find the purposefulness you are seeking. I hope you stop by from time to time to say, “hi.”

ElShaddai – if you ever decide to that you want to post, but do not want the hassle of maintain your own blog, I don’t mind having you as a contributor!

That’s too bad, “El”. This Intertube needs more like-minded, sold-out, faith-based brothers like yourself.
Peace to you in your endeavors.

Congrats, Peter! Nice to see you up near the top! And I also share the sadness over ElShaddai’s leaving us. He’s a good man, and the biblioblogosphere will be poorer for his absence!
#18 by CD-Host on August 3, 2009 - 12:40 pm
Yes it is a pity to lose El. Good guy and the other main REB supporter out there.

HS, Gary, CD-Host, thanks. I’m sure he will see that you are so supportive.
