Thanks so much for following along this year on the blog! Things were a little different around here this year due to not one, but TWO month-long podcasting marathons, plus a pretty cool job writing Sunday school curriculum for Lifeway. Oh, and that whole pastor’s wife and mom of three gig. Thank you for reading and sharing! Here are my most shared posts of the year.

Mothers, Teach Your Sons Encouragement for moms of boys: you, too, should be teaching your sons about sex, relationships, women, and how to be a man.
A Prayer for My Children, Growing Up in Troubled Times I’ve been thinking through the ways I want to pray for my children. I’m so grateful that He hears me. (No perfect prayers necessary.)
