Blogging with a Purpose

Louanne on Jan 14th 2008

Blogging with a Purpose AwardMy online friend Christina (aka Tassie) gave me this blogger award today. Here is what she said on her blog, “Louanne’s blog is a great read, she is witty and insightful, and she is a real humanitarian. Keep up the good work Louanne!” Such kind words and I appreciate it. Now I have to choose 5 bloggers to give the award to. Here are the rules:

Rules:

1. Awarded parties must nominate five people who have not received the award.

2. The blogs that receive the award must serve some purpose.

3. In their post about the award they need to link back to the blog/post where they were given the award.

4. Awarded parties must post the award banner on their site. The banner must remain linked to bloggingwithapurpose.com.

Now here is the tricky part. I have to nominate 5 people who have not been given this award. I went to some sites that I really like and they have already been given the award this week. So I am going to have to think about who I will pass this on too. What I find interesting is that the person who started this award is a teenage boy who is a blogger and home-school proponent. I read through his site tonight and I really enjoyed it, he is a good writer and very thorough in the things that he posts about. I also liked the links on his site to other teens who are blogging with a purpose - teens that are thinking about the world around them rather than just “reacting”. Teens who are being brought up to serve God, but also to be adults. What a concept, I know! I could do a whole separate post about how many teens today are not prepared to be adults and go off to college or into the work force because they haven’t been raised up with a good foundation. But I will leave it at this - I am very happy to see that the founder of this award was a home-schooled kid and a dude! What a switch :)

    Hi there, Louanne! I find you via Tassie! I’m in Australia, and LID 22 Feb 2006… no baby yet… so do you mind if I come by and gawk at your beautiful daughter?!!

    I figured if Tassie was passing on an award, you must be alright?!!

    PS I totally agree with your comments regarding the R*Q fiasco!! What can’t everyone just play nice?!!!
