I love the community and connections I've made through this blog, and I can promise you that I have been the one blessed the most by it. Thank you for your comments, your questions, and your encouragement.
I have three posts waiting to go live, including a follow-up to Wednesday's post about children with disabilities in church, a post about international considerations for disability ministry (because we need a global perspective and because 10% of my readers are outside of the US), and a post answering a question I received via Twitter about starting a disability ministry. But those will wait until next week.
Today I'd like to take a look back at the ten most popular posts in the past year:
1. Michael W. Smith and a star-struck teenage girl
2. "After-birth abortion" should be allowed because some disabilities aren't diagnosed prior to birth?
3. No partiality {James 2:1-13}
4. The biblical basis for special needs ministry
5. Wonderfully, fearfully knit together {Psalm 139:13-16}
6. Kudos to Target. Now, church, it's your turn.
7. every story has two sides but.
8. Fridays from the Families: Ministering to people with autism
9. In a church setting, how can you support a parent who might be in denial about their child's special needs?
10. Only sharing the gospel with 5/6 of our children? Not an option
Can I just say that I love that two of the top ten posts are Bible verses with no commentary from me? If my blog is bringing people to read from God's Word, then that will change lives and churches far more than anything I write.
Here are a few more posts - honorable mentions, if yo will - that are on my list of favorites, even though they don't make the top 10 as defined by visits:

- why I care about disability ministry {including a lot of statistics}
- a kid first
- Fridays from the Families: Even angels need lip gloss
- modifying for the individual and not the disability
- You don't know their story, but you know grace.
- An opportunity or an inconvenience?
- A symptom of a larger problem
- considering a different perspective
