New Neighbor #34

I've been a little slack in my weekly New Neighbor posts. For those people who enjoyed these Sunday posts, I'm sorry. The Carolina Renaissance Festival occupied most of my Sunday afternoons for the past 6 weeks or so, and I just never got ahead with much of anything.

Hopefully, with this week's neighbor, I'll get back in the swing of the Neighbor posts. For those who haven't seen them before, I'll explain the New Neighbor posts -- they're based on an idea by Joe of The Evangelical Outpost.

He put together a blogroll called the Evangelical Blogroll, which has since be renamed the Church Directory. It's a giant list of evangelical blogs. You can find it over there on the left side of this blog.

As part of setting up that blogroll, Joe suggested that members of that blogroll get to know one another. That's what started my New Neighbor series. Each Sunday I pick one blog from that list and introduce them here. Interested readers can head on over and read that blog, sometimes finding someone new.

This week's new neighbor is...

La Shawn Barber's Corner

Now I know to many of my readers, La Shawn Barber is quite a well-known blog. In the ecosystem, she's a mortal human -- which means an awful lot of people know about her and link to her. But she is on the Church Directory list, so she's eligible to be introduced as a new neighbor!

For those who don't know La Shawn, I'll mention a few points from her About Page.

She's a follower of Jesus Christ first. Next, she's an independent conservative, not a member of either major party. I'm telling you, there is no home for true conservatives in either major political party today! I think she agrees with me on that point.

La Shawn seems rather happy in her new profession as a writer -- and a real published writer, unlike the majority of us with blogs who just dream of writing for actual money!

She's made appearances on MSNBC as a "blog reporter," although I'm not entirely sure that's something to actually be proud of (no offense intended, La Shawn).

On her blog, she's always got current commentary and information. She posts about Wal-Mart's employment of illegal aliens (and also doesn't mention anything about any punishment for the EMPLOYER). She's also closely following the story about the black college student who quit because of racism -- from other blacks.

I think she might also agree with my current right-left political chart, since she posts about her dislike for RINOs and non-extremists.

The site design is clean, clear, and easy-to-read, but it is noticeably lacking in llamas and links to Ogre's Politics and Views.

So if you've never seen La Shawn's Blog, or even if you have, head on over this Sunday and take a peek. And welcome Ogre's newest neighbor!
