Praise for all!

Tom Freeman, our good friend and Co-impetus for the creation of this blog in the first place has tagged us with "The Thinking Blogger Award". Many thanks to you sir! As anyone who has been following this blog at all must know by now, very little of what goes on here is "just Alex's thoughts". We have maintained a synergy amongst individuals who come from polar opposites on the world-view scale (at least with regard to God). To the credit of all who contribute here we all seem to keep coming back! So I would like to formally bestow this thoughtful award upon the few brave souls who dare toss their cherished perspectives in to the arena. It is because of you that Tom's brain is forced to think when he visits!

The participation rules are simple:

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think,
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme,
3. Optional: Proudly display the ‘Thinking Blogger Award’ with a link to the post that you wrote

As for the blogs that make me think... I know, I know... I'm so predictable!
