This was a fun year personally when it came to blogging, traffic increased 400% over 2011.  I want to thank you for visiting this year and checking out my meanderings.  I've always attempted to post authentically about the gears that grind in the social, emotional and theological space of forming communities on mission.   Investigate the top 10 most visited posts in 2012.
