Have you ever done this at work? This was taken about 5 years ago at my desk job. Back then, they didn’t have interesting blogs. But now, there are blogs of all kinds! When you are sitting in front of your computer and it’s 2 pm (or right now) and the msg from your sweet and sour chicken is settling in, where do you go on the web for your midday break? From the meetings, the paper work and all the other excitement involved in an 8-5 job, who do you read for your reading pleasure?

Here is a list of all my favorite blogs. Tell me your favorites! I’d like to add them to my list!

    RAW FISH didn’t make the cut??

  4. leigh ann Says:

    I assume some of these blogs are from Sharon?? :) Btw, do you think doing yoga is unchristian?

  5. joelyoon Says:

    It depends on how you do yoga. Just the exercises, probably not. I don’t know too much about yoga but even if you look up the history of yoga or the original purposes of yoga, you can see how many Christians would be uncomfortable with it. So when I mentioned it in this post, I was thinking about it in terms of its original purpose and history. Now, I have never taken yoga (nor do I plan on taking it), but I hear that the exercises themselves aren’t that bad.
