Roy made this collage of me over many days and many moods for my birthday. And here is my most-read writing on my blog this year
1 Yes, Praise the Lord Anyway. (Even for Loss and Fleas!)
2 Why I am no longer a Roman Catholic
3 In which I am Exasperated by an Ex-Prophet, and Write a Letter to my 70 Year Old Future Self
4 My Experience of The Baptism in the Holy Spirit and of Speaking in Tongues
5 On Mustard Seeds and Malignant Polyps
6 Walking on the Waters, Looking at Jesus, in the Shadow of Cancer
7 When, for a season, God himself blocks you
8 Thoughts on my Twenty-fifth Wedding Anniversary
9 A Little Bit of Theology for Victims of Burglaries (Which, Alas, I Have Just Been)
And the most read guest post this year with 2248 page views was Esther Emery’s intriguing, Why I live in a yurt, off the grid, on a mountain in Idaho

Anita Mathias says
Michelle, Opting out definitely becomes easier as the children grow up. For instance, the children did the tree this year, and we joined friends for Christmas dinner.
Am feeling better, thank you! Love, Anita
