    Aw, you included my tiny little post. Aren't you sweet. 🙂

    I had to include something from you LL! You are such a driving force for what we do in the network, and I was happy to include one of your posts in this list! Besides… the message of that post is one that more people need to hear.

    Thank you!

    Yours was 'nominated' by someone else on the team, but I definitely agree that it is worthy of being selected as a 'must-read'! You rock dude!

    Thanks Dena! I know that we haven't interacted a whole lot on the network yet, so I appreciate the tweet and the comment. I definitely agree that HCB is something that we can all be proud to be a part of!

    Dan! Where is my “Driving Lessons” post? It was, after all, the spark that ignited the freeway competition between you and Sam…

    Kidding. Kidding. These are all wonderful posts. I was too late to give my faves, but you've included several of my top choices here. Thanks for highlighting these amazing folks and great pieces.

    I really liked the posts by Gordon about dealing with depression, as well as the posts about Shelby. They were so real and moving. I liked this one a lot:

    I also enjoyed Ed Cyzewski's Lenten posts. Here's one:

    And I still remember this photoplay by claire…was it the first one? I can't remember, but Susan's photo was perfect:

    And of course I agree with Ann: anything Billy writes is wonderful. And I love all the RAP posts too.

    Okay, I'll just say it: It's all good!!

    Ditto, what LL said. You are piece of work, Dan. We really appreciate you. Thanks for the zombie link. And I have to agree with Laura Boggess, too. When you asked for suggestions, I was overwhelmed by the number of posts that have really touched me over the past 2 years since we first turned on the site Feb. 1, 2008.

    Seems like we should have had a birthday or something this February. We'll have to remember that for 2011.
