The end of a year always presents a good time for reflection. This year, Facebook’s algorithms have filled our news feeds with an auto-generated look back at our friend’s years. This one wasn’t automatically computed because the following list only includes posts that were written in 2014 and also excludes our popular Sunday Says Podcast section.<\/p>\n

The Holy Spirits works in creative ways to continuously inspire us in the various ways He chooses to work through our content, and we are grateful for another year to have the opportunity to share it with all of you. In case you missed any of these, I highly recommend them.<\/p>\n

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!<\/p>\n
