Well, it’s hard to believe, but yesterday marked the one year blogiversary of Verge. You like that word? I just made it up the other day, I figure if I keep using it, it’ll start to catch on. So, be sure to spread it around to all of your friends. If you don’t have any friends, maybe using a word as cool as blogiversary will help you get some friends. Enough about the awesomeness that is blogiversary for a moment, let’s focus on the task at hand. Here are my favourite 13 posts of James‘ 250 for the past year. You can see his list of 12 here, or directly below this post. Note - Some of our favourites may overlap, but I have decided to go beyond James’ very limited scope of 12 posts. Who could choose just 12, really?

  1. Are you the one? I’m not. - Neo?
  2. Little Brother Leadership - I’ve always been the older brother.
  3. First attempt at a video blog - Ever wonder what James sounds like?
  4. LifePoint Church and Window Tinting - Short but sweet post about doing more than we should.
  5. Haircuts and Quiet Time with God - Don’t tell that to Samson!
  6. Just Eat It! - Weird Al doesn’t have anything on James.
  7. Saying Goodbye or Dealing With People Who Leave Your Church - Nuff Said. You can’t do it all. - Or can you?
  8. God is F@&$ing Awesome! - I think James included this on his list, but he’s right, it’s F@&$ing Awesome.
  9. How to tell God’s Story - A great collection of videos on storytelling by NPR/PBS director Ira Glass.
  10. Sometimes its Good to Feel Bad - James reminds us that everybody hurts…sometimes.
  11. Missionally Connected, God Deprived - I can relate to this one way too much.
  12. Called, ordained or spiritually challenged? - Sometimes, I’m all three.
  13. My favorite 12 posts written by me - James compiles his 12 favourite posts of all time. Including this one in my list might be kinda cheesy, but, if you think about it, it’s like me choosing 12 more posts!
