Time To Pray For Ohio: Rev. Mark Daniels Offers Good Advice

With all the flooding and misery in our state today, a few prayers would be timely and essential, as the Ohiosphere's resident minister has reminded all of us today. Any comfort that can be brought by spiritual acts or charitable deeds definitely outweighs all political matters today.

The Bellwether is taking Rev. Mark's advice, and won't be active today.

Strike Up The Choir: Ohiosphere's Mark Daniels Is Among 'Top 100' Christian Bloggers

CINCINNATI (TDB) -- The Ohiosphere's own notable, remarkable and increasingly respected theological thinker Mark Daniels has turned up on a list of the 100 most important Christian blogs. He is in the top half at No. 28. His impressive ranking caught my eye when I scanned down the list discovered by Jill Zimon at Writes Like She Talks, who deserves a major h/t or perhaps even a doffing of a cleric's biretta.

Evangelical Outpost created the list and described each as essential:

"This is not a list of the 'best Christian blogs' (whatever that might mean) but rather the top 100 blogs that I have found to be the most convincing, enlightening, frustrating, illuminating, maddening, stimulating, right-on and/or wrongheaded by Christians expressing a Christian worldview."

Mark is the pastor of Friendship Lutheran Church in Amelia, a suburb of east of Cincinnati. Information about his church, his denomination and Mark himself is here. If there are any other Ohio blogs on the Top 100 list that Jill found, I did not recognize them.

However, somebody could be there that I don't know (and I apologize if I missed you.)

Congratulations to Mark, a man with an important message who has been doing God's work in the pulpit, and via the Internet.
