My friend Megan tagged me for a meme that involves sharing five old posts. It is supposed to involved past posts about family, friends, me, something I love, and anything I like.

Since my blog doesn't talk about these things very often, I'm going to list five old posts that come to mind.

1. Be Like Jesus. Toward the top of my blog there is a 'Popular' section that lists my five posts that have received the most attention. I'm glad that my post 'Be Like Jesus' has stayed at the top of the list. I'm shocked that the 'hits' count on this post (which can be found just below the post) is 44, 682 as of today.  I'm sure this has little to do with my writing, and much to do with how attractive and compelling Jesus is.
2. The Charmed Life of Pastors. The statistics of what pastors experience is awful. Loneliness, depression, believing their job is hazardous to their family, are all part of the experience of many pastors. I still believe there needs to be a serious and widespread discussion about what it means to be a pastor, and what realistic expectations for pastors should be.
3. On Being a Misfit. This was a post I wrote on my struggles with myself, the church, and living during a time of transition. I feel this way today as much as ever.
4. Toward An Inclusive Christianity. I've blogged a lot about this subject. I'm passionate about an expression of Christianity that includes, rather than excludes; and a faith that looks for connections we have with others, rather than disconnections.
5. 12 Reasons Why I Prefer the Term Jesus-Follower. I originally posted this on my old blog. It was a follow on post from my 11 Reasons Why I Don't Like the Term "Christian".
