First, a couple of new(-ish) blogs from pastors w/ Jackson, TN connections . . .
Oversight of Souls - Thoughts and conversation on pastoral ministry from Dr. Ray Van Neste, Associate Professor of Christian Studies and director of the R. C. Ryan Center for Biblical Studies at Union University (and a pastor at Cornerstone Community Church, a great Reformed SBC church, in Jackson)
Blind Man’s Fancy - Great pastoral musings from Barry Maxwell, pastor of Southern Hills Baptist Church in Copperas Cove, TX (and a former pastor at my old church, Northbrook).
And now for a few that have nothing to do with Jackson, TN, but are still worth reading . . .
Funky Presbyterian - aka: Greg Blosser, my pastor at Grace Central. I probably mention Greg’s blog more then even he’d like me to, but it’s that darn good. Great thoughts on art, music, theology, ministry, and various other things.
The Resurgence - Mark Driscoll, from Mars Hill Church in Seattle has finally started blogging. About flippin’ time. Only two entries thus far (it only opened last week), but I have high hopes for this one.
Episcoblog - Father Bishop (!) Leo Michael, rector (that’s Anglican-ese for “pastor”) of St. Gabriel’s United Episcopal Church in Springdale, AR. Thoughtful writings from one of the rare doctrinally sound Anglican pastors in the blogosphere.
Josh Harris Blogs - Not the most creative title in the list, but that’s alright. Josh Harris, the guy who kissed dating goodbye ten or some such years ago, is now the senior pastor of Covenant Life Church in Gaithersburg, MD. I wish he’d blog more often . . . his entries are great when they show up. Guess he’s busy being the international evangelical sensation that he is. 
Anyone have other good pastoral blogs? Share ‘em in the comments!

Thanks for the links, Rae. I’m afraid I don’t have any more to add, though.
Well, it just started, but Together for the Gospel (Mark Dever, Ligon Duncan, C.J. Mahaney, and Albert Mohler) might be worth a look. =)
there is fella named steve mccoy. He is a reformed baptist guy whose expressed purpose (tongue-in-cheek I am guessing) is: “to save the SBC from legalism.” or something like that. His blog is awesome. I love it. he and I would hang out a lot. His blog is called reformissionary. google it, because I dont know it off-hand. (stevemccoy.com maybe?)
Good one . . . Steve used to post quite a bit at the Derek Webb forums, so I’m kind of familiar with him. The link you’re looking for is http://www.stevekmccoy.com/reformissionary/, by the way. Steve also has another blog called “Missional Baptist Blog” where he addressed more SBC-specific issues at http://www.stevekmccoy.com/sbc/.
Thanks Joe!
Rae, I’m 99% sure you’re still reading Will Willimon’s Weblog—again, I love it that my bishop blogs :)—and I’m also enjoying another UMC bishop’s blog: James Swanson.
Hi. Nice blog–just wandered over here BJ’s blog. A coupl of other blogs (both Presbyterian, incidentally) that you might want to check out are JollyBlogger at http://jollyblogger.typepad.com/jollyblogger/ and Blog and Mablog at http://www.dougwils.com/, both thoughtful, meaty, and sound but sometimes controversial blogs.
Here are some other blogs by pastors at Covenant Life Church
http://www.worshipmatters.com/ by Bob Kauflin director of worship development for Covenant Life Church and Soverign Grace Ministries
http://grow.covlife.org/marriedlife/ by the married life pastors of Covenant Life Church
http://mrlauterbach.typepad.com/gospeldrivenlife/ soverign grace pastor out in Arizona, probably one of my favorite blogs
Good stuff, guys. The replies to this post are already proving to be a valuable resource. I’ve added every one of these to my FeedLounge account already.
Hopefully others will find it valuable as well!
Nice pimping job, Rae.
Did you happen to see the link I put in the footer of the template, Geof?
Nope, because I tend to ignore such things. Dunno why. Cool deal, though.
Driscoll is great. I too was stoked to see he’s started blogging. I’ve talked the rest of the staff here at Compass into going to the Resurgence conference he’s hosting in Seattle this May. I’m counting the days…
Jason - There’s a small possibility that I’ll be at that conference in Seattle as well. I’ll keep you posted.
