Happy Birthday Without Wax!

I can’t believe it, but my blog is one year old today. Happy Birthday Without Wax! I don’t have a cake for everyone, but I did spend some time last night going through my posts over the past year. It was a lot of fun. I listed a few of my favorites below.

This past year has been an amazing year as I’ve gotten the opportunity to make so many new friends through the blog. I can’t thank you enough for making this blog such a cool community to interact with. You’ve stretched me, entertained me, and most of all invited me into the story of your life through the 15,143 comments you’ve left.

On our one year birthday why don’t we do a little roll call.

Drop in and leave me a comment telling me who you are, where you live and if you blog leave you blog url for us.

Do yourself a favor and drop in and visit each others’ blogs today if you have time.

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE FAMILY POSTS

A FEW  SPIRITUAL MILE MARKERS FOR ME

A FEW THAT STIRRED UP CONTROVERSY

A FEW WHERE YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH ME

    Peter, 175 comments = pretty cool birthday present.
    Happy blog birthday.
    Will be coming to Cre:ate in Franklin to hang out with Randy Elrod in about four weeks time. Might pop over to Cross Point Sunday morning. It has been recommended!

    Lots of love,
    Mark.

    How many people, much less pastors, would dig through their internal garbage and lay their ugliest trash out on display in the foyer of the church? And yet you have done that – not once, but twice! (for those of us who missed it the first time…) Thanks for being transparent. We are all taking a corporate sigh of relief (as we lower our own masks), and that may be perhaps the most worshipful thing I’ve done corporately in a while.

    Crosspoint is a blessing to me. To our family. Looking forward to sharing 2009 with you.

    Just read some of your fave posts, especially the ones in the third and fourth category. Been reading for about half the life of the blog, and if we’re ever in Nashville, I know which church I want to visit.
