I’ve once again chosen my most popular posts of 2018, based on views, comments, Tweets and Facebook likes.
Eagle-eyed readers may notice “Faith for the Faithless” was technically published in 2017, but it was after my favorites of last year were published… so I’m making one small exception.
I always do appreciate your support and comments – what was your favorite? — Sallie
