Most of the links this week are from blogs I had never visited before and I found simply by hitting the Stumble! button. I love that!
If you’re new to this series, every week I share my favorite links from bloggers that I have Stumbled Upon during the week.
These links will feature resources for blogging and social media, as well as, great posts on incorporating our Christianity into our businesses and the marketplace. There may even be some random stuff that makes you laugh.
I added links to the images this week, and I tried to get all of the images more uniform in size. Keep the feedback coming so I can better tailor these lists for you.
Got your cup of coffee? Okay, let’s see what I Stumbled Upon this week.

Here’s the best posts I found this week to help with your blogging and social media use.

Every top blogger will tell you that a mailing list is essential for the growth of your blog, but why do so many blogs (including mine) not have one?

I love this post! Jay Peroni gives five steps that anyone can employ and are key to success in whatever endeavor you undertake. My favorite are #1 and #4. If you have these then I think everything else naturally falls into place.
5 Bible Verses about Money Every Christian Should Know
With over 800 verses that deal with money in the Bible, I’m amazed that many people don’t put the two subjects together more often. When they do they often misquote, or take out of context, these verses. This post looks at five of the most well known verses and explains their meaning. I need to do more of this here.
The Christian Entrepreneur
Here’s the best posts I found this week to help you run your business.
Who Are Your “Trusted Advisors”?
What a great post by Michael Hyatt. His blog is quickly becoming one of my favorites to visit because of posts like this one. I see this problem a lot with small business owners – they try to go it alone. We all need advisers and Michael shows us how to find them.
The Right Task vs. The Right People

Tidbits
Here’s the best posts I found for the week that were humorous, touching, or just plain weird.
How to Adopt an Attitude of Gratitude
