A Stoned Top Ten Posts List

Stoned's Top Ten List

I have been blogging now for about two years. I began my dubious cyberspace career in Milwaukee, the land of beer and cheese, and since have migrated with my family to the land of saguaros and scorpions. In the time I've written 256 posts (that was the last count I had). As with all things many of those were very forgettable! Yet last night as I was home alone and found the movie No Country for Old Men particularly boring I began to reflect on my writing. Inspired by David Letterman I decided to create a Top Ten Stoned-Campbell list. The criteria for Top Ten was not simply the number of comments (though that was a factor) but the way people responded both on and offline to a post. And I also added a personal factor ... how well did I like it and did I express something deeply from me in it ... there is one that this will be obvious that this is the case. So without further ado here is my Stoned Top Ten list of posts:

10) My "Anti" Creed (December 23, 2006)

9) David Lipscomb, James A. Harding, the Mission & the Renewed Earth (July 13, 2006)

8) Wal-Mart, Dresses & Hermeneutics (August 12, 2006)

7) Quest for THE Pattern (August 9, 2007)

6) Jesus the Jew and Hanukkah (December 15, 2006)

5) Contradictions that are Bobby Valentine (January 19, 2008)

4) Anamolies in the Pattern (February 11, 2008)

3) Voices from 1968: A Leaf from the Page of a Subversive Journal (March 17, 2007)

2) Damaged Goods: A Biblical Pattern of Grace & Renewal (June 12, 2006)

And there is a tie for #1 so I guess this is really the Top Eleven

1) Tears: God's or Mine (April 16, 2008)

1) Jesus, The Welcoming Friend of Sinners (May 9, 2006)

There are also three series of posts that I have done that I personally have enjoyed doing and so I will mention them without listing the individual posts

3) Heaven: Pie in the Sky or Meek Inheriting the Earth This series went for 14 installments. Just search under "eschatology" and you will find all of them.

2) Marcionism & Churches of Christ: What Value, Really, Is the OT?: Pt 1; Pt 2; Pt 3; Pt 4; Pt 5; Pt 6

1) Women on the Family Tree; Huldah; Susanna; Judith; Perpetua; Argula von Grumbach

Those of you who have been reading all along you may remember some of these. It has been a joy to be able to share and learn from you ... and I have learned lots.

Blessings,
Bobby Valentine
