Seven things about me:

1. In the Nevada desert, my evident smallness is pleasurable.
2. When entering the desert, each new vista appears unique. 
3. But in the midst of the desert, previously overlooked similarities in ranges, roads, knolls, trails, plains and peaks can be disorienting.
4. I am prone to wandering in the desert; by the Grace of God, I have not become lost.
5. My husband likes me to carry a walkie-talkie.
6. Once my husband played the harmonica for me as the moon rose over Star Peak.
7. He doesn’t really know how to play the harmonica yet.  He blows a few notes of Amazing Grace and to me it sounds like heaven.

There is diversity among the five blogs I enjoy and heartily nominate for “A Thought-Provoking Blog Award:”

• A Leaf in Springtime — a gentle, contemplative respite: each post by Sharon is replete with perspective deeply rooted in love
• ‘Til the Storm Passes By — exquisite poetry reveals Moriah’s brilliance through a hard struggle with grief
• Singing Sparrows — astute, irrepressible and funny Teju shares her candid perspectives on issues
• Fictional Machines — J.E. Lattimer is publishing one of his short stories in tiny increments, accompanied by original art work
• whyilovewesttexas — in a voice as constant as the North Star, John reveals his love for the Lord through careful examination of west Texas farm life

Once again, I would like to thank Lizzie Joy for the honor of this nomination.
