Pinch-Hitting Blogger


It's always a blessing when I'm asked to be a guest speaker, to conduct a chapel service for a sports team, to write an article for a magazine, to conduct a funeral (which I did recently) and, yes, to "pinch-blog" for a friend.

When Brodie asked me to write a guest post for him...well...actually I asked him if I could be a guest blogger on The Hope of His Calling because I was getting tired of that same old picture. Not you, Pastor Frank, but the one of Lou Gehrig.

Anyhow, it's a pleasure to put a few thoughts together for my good friend Brodie MacLeod. We had lunch together earlier this week and, as always, we were both refreshed. Encouraging one another is such an important component of the Christian life!

I've teased Brodie, ridiculed him for his inability to post regularly on The Hope of His Calling and been downright nasty with him at times. Let me take this opportunity to tell you that when we met at Christian Horizons House 11 in Peterborough over two years ago, we "clicked" immediately. Brodie and Robbin are a very special couple who I have grown to love and admire very much.

Brodie's heart for God and his willingness to serve Him are so refreshing! His minstry at Calvary Church as Children's Pastor is an ideal "fit" for him. He loves kids and he loves Jesus.

So, my friends, as you read this "guest post" please respond by leaving more comments than Brodie has ever received before. Encourage him to write! Let him know how much you enjoy seeing new posts on his site! He does such a great job when he gets around to it!

Hopefully this mug shot of me, the old guy from Pilgrim Scribblings, won't be the lead photo on this blog for long.

We love you Brodie! Write on!

Brodie:

I've announced on Pilgrim Scribblings that you have a new post. Maybe the comments will come in by the thousands now.

Hopefully there'll be a new Brodie post new.

Love you, bro!

Yeh! The pilgrim is RIGHT!
We all love you Brodie and that love has blossomed only because of the fact that although that Fish is a fair enough guy, he tends to pick on you a lot.
I am always in favor of the underdog because often in my life I have been the underdog and I surely know how THAT feels!!

Even though you have few blog postings, just like I tell Lauren-mary, with her long in between postings, they are so good that they are worth readig more than once and so are your's Brodie.

Even though it would be great if you have time for more don't let that pilgrim guy intimidate you!!....From Terry

PS What does it take to ask him if I could give him a guest spot on MY blog Brodie?
I can trust him with my secert number just as I trusted Noel Lewis.
Noel had to add my favorite links for me!AND my profile picture which disappeared last week when I was forced to change to Beta!
Does Fish charge for this service?
Surely he would not charge a FRIEND?

Okay, Brodie: The Pilgrim sent me over here, and after reading about you on his blog, I thought I might as well come over here and have a look. I'll chime in with everyone else, and say, Please blog, Brodie, if just for this your new reader, and however many more new readers you get from the ever-popular Pilgrim Scribblings.
