On Behalf Of All Theo-Bloggers, I Accept This Award

Thank you, Bob Sadhu, for the nomination; and thank you to the board of the National Association of Theological Bloggers for the award.  I have no idea what it means, and am a little sorry that there's no cash prize, but I will happily bear the medallion.

Not to mention important surfing news and photos of my granddaughter.
