Voting in the 27 categories of the 2007 Canadian Blog Awards is now open.
As I’ve previously stated, it’s an opportunity for blog readers to find some good blogs.
I also said this:
This year - no false modesty – no getting distracted and sidetracked.
I plan to encourage, plead, cajole and nag you to vote for BDBO. I hate clutter on the sidebar, but truth be told, after five years of blogging, I want to go for a Canadian Blog award gold button and the incentive it gives. Blogging is about community and religion and faith are about community. This year, I’m going to ask the BDBO community to step up to the vote button.
I’m proud of how blogging has grown in Canada, proud to be a part of our blogosphere, and I’m prepared to beg.;^)
I’ve changed my mind. I’m not going to beg.
When I wrote that begging seemed like a good idea.
I’ve thought about this, I’ve talked to a couple of friends I trust, and pondered the desire to have shiny gold things.
Blog bling.
I nominated another blogger in the Best Religious Blog category, because I want them to be there, and then went right ahead and voted for myself.
What I want and what I need are not always compatible.
Pride, hope, popularity, competitiveness, entitlement, incentive…I don’t know my own heart. I can fool me.
The heart is hopelessly dark and deceitful, a puzzle that no one can figure out.
But I, God, search the heart and examine the mind.
I get to the heart of the human.
I get to the root of things.
I treat them as they really are, not as they pretend to be. Jeremiah 17: 9-10
Sometimes blogging is about community and sometimes it’s all about me.

You’ve got my vote.
I hit the button for you earlier this pm.
cheers,
I have no moral disputes in my mind.
You have accepted our view with a graciousness I would not have expected.
I appreciate that and I hope you understand that the way you promote religion makes it valid in our eyes. You alone seem able to do it in a way that makes it worthy.
I, as one of the contributors to The Galloping Beaver, give you my heartfelt support.
In the next day or two, I promise to make that clear.
You have our support and I truly hope you win.
Thank you Nick, Joseph, Dave.
Dave, your writing is outstanding in your post earlier about our militant anti-abortionists and Conservative and religious fundamentalist bloggers who request civility and why you won’t be fooled into giving it to them.

The Galloping Beaver was nominiated in Best Blog, Best Blogosphere Citizen Best Group Blog, Best Military Blog and Best Progressive Blog. They won a Canadian Best Group Blog Award, again in 2006, a 2007 Weblogs Award, a Koufax nomination and Left Award nomination. So this year The Galloping Beaver’s decided to:
Head over, read thier posts and it will make sense to you why people from all over Canada have honoured them with nominations and awards in so many categories.
I’ve hit the campaign trail. Do we have a slogan?
ar arr arrr!
Bless your heart – you have the wit, something about ambivelent hypocrisy might be appropriate.
And a vote from me too!
You had my vote days ago.
I don’t stop by as much as I’d like but I just have to say, as a non-Christian and in all earnestness, that your blog truly gives me hope for Christianity.
Well done.
