I woke up this morning to discover that my JewWishes blog is a finalist in the 2008 weblog awards. It is in the category of “Best Religious Blog”.
Voting should begin on January 5, 2009. It appears that JewWishes is the only Jewish blog in the “Best Religious Blog” category. That makes the selection more meaningful for me.
There were almost 5,000 blogs entered, and approximately 500 chosen, by committee, in the varied categories. Seeing my blog as a finalist was quite a pleasant surprise, and was a nice beginning to my day. I feel honored. I’m not trying to promote myself (seriously), but if you read and enjoy my blog, I would be extremely grateful and appreciative if you did vote for me.
Here are all of the finalists in the “Best Religious Blog” category.
Happy Catholic
Conversion Diary
Tariq Nelson
Dervish
What Does the Prayer Really Say?
Christian Blog
Standing On My Head
One Cosmos
Jew Wishes
the evangelical outpost
There are many excellent blogs included as finalists in the various categories of the 2008 weblog awards, and you might want to check out the finalist listing. Congratulations to all the chosen finalists!
The river of life is a continual flow, with wonderful illuminations.
Sorry for the update…I inserted the wrong image into my post.
