Deb at UKOK’s Place (one of those blogs that made it into my Google reader) nominated me for the Mathetes Award.
Here’s a quote from the orignal blog post explaining the award….
“Mathetes is the Greek word for disciple, and the role of the disciple (per the Great Commission) it to make more disciples. I’d like to take the opportunity to award five other bloggers with this award and badge for acting in the role of a disciple of Christ. These five all share the message in their own creative ways, and I admire them all for what they do.
In the spirit of this award, the rules are simple. Winners of this award must pick five other “disciples” to pass it on to. As you pass it on, I just ask that you mention and provide links for (1)this post as the originator of the award (Dan King of management by God), (2) the person that awarded it to you, and then (3) name and sites of the five that you believe are fulfilling the role of a disciple of Christ”
Deb, thank you very much for the nomination. I very much appreciate it (and your blog). I’d like to think I am a good disciple, but I think I have a long way to go - but I guess we all would say that. Regardless, thanks.
Now for the nomination. Of course, Deb, you have made it hard because you would have been one of the five I would have nominate. But I think there are few out there that I would mention. So here are my five:
Fr. Stephanos at Me Monk, Me Meander whose insight and guidance I find profound, though I wish he would be able to get high speed access again . 
Amber at This Catholic Journey who has inspired and challenged us with her ongoing journey into the Catholic Church in spite of all the obstacles.
Barb at SFO Mom who shows us how to live our faith simply in our daily lives.
Sister Mary Martha at Ask Sister Mary Martha for reminding us why we miss the straightforward “between the eyes” nuns that used to be more common when we were younger.
The entire crew at Mount Carmel Bloggers who show us what it is to be faithful Catholics - not liberals, not conservatives - just faithful Catholics.
Well, that’s my list.
