I recently received a nice email from Jordan Green a writer for The Burnside Writer’s Collective. From what I gather, this is a group of Christian writers, who each contribute articles to the website.

In perusing their site, two things stood out as most impressive. First, Don Miller’s College Bowl picks. He went 7-1, picking Oklahoma over Oregon and Texas over USC. If this writing thing doesn’t work out for him, he should move to Vegas and invest his savings in choosing College Bowl winners. (Honestly Jordan, who is Don picking for the Superbowl? Also ask him if I can sneak a peak at his March Madness Bracket. I want a new Ipod, and with Don’s inside knowledge, a win is guaranteed.)

A second thing that impressed me was Jordan’s top 10 albums of 2005, which included Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Illinois. Sufjan Steven’s Illinois was the Album of the Year and his song Chicago was the Song of the Year, in my opinion.

I would also like to add that Donald Miller’s new book about to be released is To Own a Dragon. Go out and buy the book, if for no other reason than it would be nice to see a Christian author sell more books then Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. (Side note: I grew up reading the Dallas O’Neil and Baker Street Sports Club series by Jerry B. Jenkins. I loved them. He just went a little crazy with this whole apocalypse thing.)

Lastly, this blog is blowing up with comments, and I just want to thank everyone who reads the posts and shares their thoughts. Your comments are what make tbis blog interesting, thank you.
