Also of note: 

You may have noticed "Gregg Allison on the Importance and Role of Christian Education in the Local Church" has been on a #1 streak for a while! I'm officially going to "retire the jersey" - I'll leave the post just as it is on the site and will create a "retired jersey" category in the top posts section of this site's footer. However, moving forward I'll no longer include it in numbers 1-5 of each month's top post (even it continues to dominate the website "hits" for individual posts), thus allowing room for other posts.
