With the final days of summer vacation approaching, and fall activities approaching, it seems like the year has simply flown by.

We’ll have a new schedule to adjust to, since my oldest daughter will start her high school years in public school for the first time. We are pretty well settled into our homeschool routine, so this may take some getting used to for a while.

But on the other hand, we’ve been in Cabool, Missouri, for over two months now. We still have some settling in to do at the house, hanging things on the walls, and finding where a few last boxes can be unpacked to. But other than that, we feel like we’ve come home.

That means my writing schedule has settled down as well. I’m finding plenty of time to write the posts I want to write, and have even started thinking about a book or two again. That’s pretty exciting to me.

So, in case you missed them, here are my top seven posts for the month of July:

1. The Difference Between Purpose, Vision, and Mission
2. Why You Need To Develop A Philosophy Of Ministry
3. Trying A New Bible Reading System
4. My Current Philosophy Of Ministry
5. 9 Habits You Need To Build Into Your Daily Routine
6. 11 Things I Love About Field Notes Brand Journals
7. A Special Q & A With Randy Singer, Author Of The Last Plea Bargain

This month, the lineup changed quite a bit. Some of my most popular posts continue to make the list, like the ones from the Foundations Of Youth Ministry series. But this month, a few different posts made the list, including one from my series on building a daily routine that was written well into the month. Along with several book reviews, that makes a pretty full schedule of posts for the month.

My favorite post written this month is one where I share that I’ll be starting a new teaching series this fall at my church on the first few chapters of Genesis. I’ve also added several posts in my series on the importance of routine.

I’m looking forward to some of the ideas I have planned for the fall. Some will be pretty helpful, and some will be pure fun. Keep a close watch for some of those posts in the near future.

Have a great month!
