Superblessed is holding his annual blog awards again.
He commented on the last two he has run.

Yet, I also received some not-so-nice mail from folks who said certain blogs were left out.

Here we go again.

My Favorite Christian Blog of the Year 2002 Bene Diction pointed out that when I launched the Christian Awards, it was during a time when the “blogosphere was in an uproar over other awards and issues.” 2002 was a year not without controversy - one of my favorite and most respected blogger links chastised me for not recognizing Martin Roth, who was the man who started organized God-blog tracking with his site; eventually, the list became Blogs4God, which has blessed me immensely in the sense that it’s found me many God-bloggers, both local and international. 2003 was also controversial, when Best Feeding Frenzy Blog winner Joshua Claybourn questioned the way I wrote up his triumph.

I’ve learned many things from this tiny little award-giving exercise, and one of the most important is this: you just can’t please everyone.

True. And some you can’t please at all.;^)
Most bloggers understood exactly where Ganns is coming from since 2002. And in spite of the lack of grace, a couple of bloggers who complained are again recepients of Ganns good will and kindness.

We’re blips on a radar screen, and let’s face it, sometimes, we need a little pat on the back for our effort. I’m just patting some backs, and telling ‘em, “well done.”

These people matter to me. I love every person on my blogroll. If you’re on my blogroll, it means you’re important to me, and I value you and your blog.

Wanna hear the most hurtful thing? Someone said I was doing my awards just to increase my hits. That stings, you-person-who-knows-who-you-are. I don’t care if my hits plummet past the 5th bolgia of Dante’s Inferno, and I’d be thrilled minimally if I ever got more than 100 hits per day, but I’m not doing this for the attention.

I’m sorry I can’t superbless everyone. But God can. So praise the Lord, because His love endures forever!

Here is the list of the 2004 nominees whose blogs have ministered to Ganns.
Choices will be announced Tuesday of next week.
