First of all, a huge thanks to everyone for making yesterday’s post (Things the Church Should Stop Saying) my most read post so far this year. The various comments and thoughts that you guys posted (all so generous and kind-spirited toward each other) have given me a lot to think about, and I think a follow up post is coming next week. Stay tuned.
Second of all…it’s time to announce my favorite blogs of last month. On Monday, you guys let me know your most-read posts from March. Well, I’ve read through all of them, and these are the ones that irrevocably changed my life forever:

(For goodness sakes, come back before then).
Great list and I’ve got to agree – my heart was deeply moved by the miscarriage story this morning. What a beautifully told story about loss and acceptance of that loss.
It Was Love at First Sight (I know, it’s about falling in love with shoes, which I am morally opposed to, but Michelle’s writing was witty and grabbed my attention)
Yes! She made me want to try on the shoes… No, I didn’t say that
Yeah, a great list to read my way through a rainy Friday. And thanks for the HM, Shawn.
Thanks, Shawn! I’m reading through them all…there are some great posts in this list!
Hey, thanks! Yikes, I’ll have to step up my game if Shawn Smucker is reading. Oh well, probably a good thing!
