BBOV
Updating the Big Blogroll O' Vark
The Big Blogroll O' Vark®™© has been updated with one change, one deletion, and six (count 'em, six) additions. It's ready to send out to anyone who wants it. Please specifiy whether you want just the confessional Lutherans or if you desire the whole enchilada. I'll send it as an ASCII (plain text) attachment with HTML unordered list encoding and bold, italic, and color coding the same as you see here at the Alley. Feel free to tweak as you desire.
"Ch-ch-ch-changes"
"Time may change me But I can't trace time," sang David Bowie. However, I can trace this change: Our Little House on the Prairie keeps the same URL but gets a new name, This Pastor's Wife. The new picture's a hoot, too.
"Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, Hey, hey, Good-bye"
Evangelical Lutheran now redirects to insurance spam. If they've restarted with a new URL, would someone please leave a comment so I can re-add them?
"And a Half-dozen of the Other"
The newest blogs added to the BBOV run the gamut from lighthearted to extremely serious. I Trust When Dark My Road, written by a pastor personally involved in the struggle, deals with mental illness under the Theology of the Cross, "particularly depression, anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder." This could become an outstanding resource and sounding board for clergy and laity suffering under the afflictions of mental and emotional illness.
Engelines is written by the Reverend Doctor Jonathan Naumann, an LCMS pastor in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, who formerly served in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of England.
I've added another of the Higher Things bloggers. Rachel Engebretson writes the thoughtful Here I Stand.
Thanks to TKls2myhrt, I discovered another ELS blogger, Norman Teigen of Norman's Demesne. For almost anyone who's seriously studied American Lutheranism, the name Teigen should start ringing some cathedral-sized bells.
The Thoughts of Steven come from a native of Conway, Arkansas who's "father of three incredible boys ... husband of one incredible woman, and a Lutheran Christian." He deals with various issues of faith and life but it looks like something may be messed up with the blog's archiving functions as there are no links to archived posts under the heading in the sidebar. If he reads this, I hope he can make the fix.
Finally, we come to QuipSpot — Drive By Blogging, the promised "lighthearted" addition, albeit with some serious content, as well. This submission came from another blogger who passed the suggestion on to a third blogger who sent it on to me. To save yourself (and me) the trouble in the future, just leave me a comment or send an email to the Alley and if the blog fits, I'll wear it.

Thanks, Aardvark, for the blogroll updates! I was wondering if you could give a little peptalk to the ole' blogroll on the importance of having an RSS feed activated. Some of us depend on those feeds to keep ourselves reading good blogs! It is usually a simple matter of checking a box in the blog settings. Thanks!
