I was too busy with church and family things to pay attention, but it finally struck me that last month marked two blogging anniversaries for me: six years since I launched The Pietist Schoolman, and one year since I joined The Anxious Bench as blogmeister and Tuesday contributor.

I’m noodling on a separate post about how I’m rethinking my approach to blogging, so here I’ll just (a) say a huge thank you to everyone who reads anything I write, and (b) share some of my most popular posts — from my entire first year at The Anxious Bench and from the first six months of this year at this blog.
