It's that time of year when I start looking back and evaluating the last 12 months. The good, the bad, and the what-was-I-thinking. And because we don't exist in a vacuum, I have to look at things holistically. What significant cultural, spiritual, and personal events shaped me this year? How did those things color my world? And..now what? 

So this week, I'll begin posting the tomcottar(dot)org top lists. 

Top albums that have affected me this year. Top books that have affected my walk and outlook. Top ministry and personal impacts on my life.  Top iPhone apps that keep me connected. 

First up tomorrow: TomcottarDotOrg Top Albums
