But you should know that although my goofy picture is on the blog header and my name is on the posts, I wouldn&#8217;t be able to do this without excellent people at Beliefnet who suggest stories, catch my errors, encourage me, and hold the whole thing together. My editor, Dena Ross, deserves a ton of credit for being such a great editor to work with and for putting up with a freelancer who sometimes needs to be nudged back on track. And her editor, Michael Kress, deserves credit for being such an encouragement to a freelancer like me. I love working with Beliefnet!<br \/>\nAnd congratulations are in order to the blogs that took home the 2nd and 3rd place wins, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.skyejethani.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">SKYEBOX by Skye Jethani <\/a>and <a href=\"http:\/\/jocelyngreen.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Faith Deployed: Spiritual Support for Military Wives by Jocelyn Green<\/a>.<br \/>\nYou can see the entire list of <a href=\"http:\/\/epassoc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">EPA contest winners on the Evangelical Press Association website.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week the Evangelical Press Association held their annual conference, and as part of their annual get-together announced the winners of their Awards of Excellence and Higher Goals awards.
