June’s Top 50 is out and a good number of these blogs are on my regular reads. What is it that makes us chose some and not others? Well, I’ve already confessed to liking blogs that have a chatability factor and not only an intellectual one. There are also topics that are simply more interesting to me as a reader. Common interests. I should analyze this more when it’s earlier and I haven’t been traveling . . .
The ones in bold are the ones in the top 50 that I check regularly.

Thanks for checking out New Leaven regularly.
Funny, we have the exact same ones except one (I also have Ancient Hebrew Poetry-it’s fantastic, but I don’t have Nasseli’s blog-I’m adding it though).
Ha TC, you are so welcome.
Peter, I’ll add Ancient Hebrew Poetry to mine. Thanks for the recommendation.
Oops, “Naseli,” I mean, and I also have Chris Tilling’s.
Great listings, how did St Paul get by without the internet?!
Blessings
Tim Monaghan
Hey Tim!
I know that he and Peter both were definitely hampered by the lack of online resources
Thanks Bitsy! I am Flattered!
You are welcome Mark! You write good material.
