As you probably know, we just released a new year’s series called Best Year Ever. As I oversaw putting it’s final pieces together last week, I was reminded of the power of reflection (an entire week’s lesson is on the topic). Reflection can be a powerful experience. So, it motivated me to do some reflecting on our 2012 blog posts.

Below is a list of our best blog posts of 2012.

If you missed them the first time around, I encourage you to check them out. I listed them in order of popularity. Also, keep in mind that we just upgraded our website and a lot of the comments and Facebook/Twitter shares didn’t transfer over.

Most Popular Blog Posts of 2012:

1. Wrap Preteens in Masking Tape

2. Responding to Preteen Craziness

3. How to Keep Volunteers Forever

Here is one of my personal favorite posts of 2012. I wrote this on a lawn chair at the beach, living the words as I wrote them:

The Power of Focus

I also wanted to include one of my all-time favorite posts, going way back to 2011:

Seasons of Life & Ministry

Happy reading. Enjoy!
