Sites I Check Every Day:

 http://whispersintheloggia.blogspot.com/     It is far too easy to get caught up in our own little corner of the Church and lose site of what’s going on in the rest of the tent.  Rocco Palmo’s blog is a great way to get caught up on what’s going on in the Universal Church .

http://www.dscottmiller.com     Some of you remember Scott from his days on staff at the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry.  Those of you in the Archdiocese of Baltimore are blessed to have him serving in your Division of Youth and Young Adult Ministry.  The rest of us can bask in the light of Scott’s wisdom by visiting his site, reading his blog, and soaking up the many articles and powerpoints he has made available.

  
http://brblue.org/blog/     Gene Monterastelli, one half of the inspiration behind Apex Ministries, and possessor of an incredible mind, heart, and spirit.  I love the way this guy thinks!
 
http://www.getoverthetop.com/chronicle/index.php     Anne Marie Cribbin, according to her bio from Over the Top Ministries, in addition to being a parish dym, “is funny and has lots of shoes.” I just wish she would write a book, and soon.
  

 

 
Sites I Check Every Week:

http://www.nfcym.org     The National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry - Serving Those who Serve the Young Church .

http://www.nacyml.org     The National Association of Catholic Youth Ministry Leaders – Promoting the Profession and Practice of Catholic Youth Ministry.

http://mikestpierre.blogspot.com/     Mike provides some awesome life-coaching tips, and he's a campus minister to boot (as in “as well”, not as in the guy tries to minister to cowboy shoes...you get the idea...).

  
http://www.mikepatin.com    What an inspiration!  This crazy cajun man amazes me with his ability to be a conduit for the Holy Spirit!
  
http://www.youtube.com     At first glance, a pointless waste of time.  Upon closer inspection, an incredible look into the culture we live in, and a great way to kill an hour.

  

Resources, Ideas, and Other Free Stuff

http://www.simplyyouthministry.com/     Doug Fields wrote “Purpose Driven Youth Ministry.”  I especially love the “freebies” section on this site.

http://www.thesource4ym.com/     Okay, so the title is a little cocky, but there are some great nuggets here.
