Adrian has selected me to be the most recent recipient of his “Warnie Award,” an honor he bestows periodically on those blogs that he (and his readers) believe to be representative of what Godblogging can be in its better moments.

He denies that my having previously begged him for one had anything to do with my inclusion in the FWOTWA (Former Winners Of The Warnie Award - pronounced “phhffwhhaetttwwhffueh”) .

The support and encouragement is much appreciated, but I must disagree with one comment made about my win :

This one may be the most worthy yet. Outstanding choice, Adrian. - [Name withheld - although you can go here to find out the identity of this witness-protection-program blogger.]

“Yet”? What is it with the “yet”? Like somebody more deserving is going to come along!?! Oh, puh-leeeeze!!!

Seriously, though, I do appreciate the inclusion in the group of FWOTWA. This is an excellent group of bloggers and I am honored to be listed with them. Hopefully, I can live up to the hype in future posts!

And I would be remiss if I did not especially thank those who have kept me on the radar the past couple of months (I am invisible to the aggregators for some reason): David at Jollyblogger, Andy at SmartChristian, Tim at Challies, John of Blogotional, Chad at The Minor Prophet, and others whose names escape me at the present. No one, however, has been better at linking to me and supporting me than Milton at Transforming Sermons. More than I deserved, he repeatedly linked to me in his roundups of posts he felt were noteworthy. He exemplifies all that is good and right about Godblogs, and not just because he’s nice to me: Milton is nice to everyone! And, as a FWOTWA, his blog is outstanding.

Now, since Milton linked to me again today (!), I need to go finish my commentary on Jonah: Chapter Four awaits!
