The 2014 Liebster Blog Award has a new look.

Thank you Barbara, my dear friend
and blogger extraordinaire at Idealist Rebel.

The Idealist Rebel blog
is one of my WordPress favorite blogs.
I’ve found more interesting bloggers from reblogs
and comments there than from my own searches.

Barbara blogs on a variety of subjects and she reblogs lots of great posts too. She’s very much loved at WordPress and she loves to give and receive virtual awards and hugs. Click her link and say I sent you by… you’ll love her blog I’m sure. If you click on the award image, you can view Barbara’s creation, “mystique” painting that she’s submitted for acceptance of her award.

Many Thanks and Hugs Barbara!

NOTE: I enlarged the badge and I added an imperfect maroon border onto the image.

I’ve searched for 20 blogs I follow for being active bloggers
that have a hundred followers or fewer… My nominations for
the 2014 Liebster Blog Award are:

**Rules for accepting the 2014 Liebster Blog Award:**

Thank the blogger that nominated you.
Write a short poem – or – a short story
describing your blog and/or you.
Nominate 3 or more fellow bloggers and post a comment
on their blog informing them that they are nominated/awarded.

My acceptance poem:

Aligning Dove

Observed perceptions refine;
receive aligning pliancies,
Holy Spirit doth divine,
etiolates errant audacities.

Truth doth Holiness ignite
communion knowing love;
fruits of spirit recite,
His ascendance above.

Expansive flows His reign;
consuming compassion;
elucidating hearts sane
His mercy seat fashion.

Hath thine heart love
of His Holy Grace forms;
Spirit, soars His Dove
dost illumine beasts lorn.

I wanted to capture in my poem tenacity for seeking holy wisdom and also how I view the Spirit fading from our hearts all negativity to align finally our accepting of divinity in loving luminosity of His light. For some, especially non-religious, the coming of God’s grace may seem harsh. This is not at all how His coming seems to me. However, my poem reflects the very human healing of this with the struggle intact until that final moment. The image came from a google search gallery.

My awards page is here.
Thankfully, I display these awards.
It is my great pleasure to share them.

A note on posting awards:
When posting awards, it is best to post them
onto a page and include the name of the award
and how you came to get it. It happens that
awards are a very popular search item and
unless you prefer not to be found, this is best.

Award, blog, Liebster

I am pleased and honored to be accepting an award today from my fellow blogger, Lauralee beautifulcourageousyou.

Thank you Lauralee for thinking of my blog for this honor. (see: http://beautifulcourageousyou.wordpress.com/2013/11/05/award-dearest-nomination/)

Here are answers for the acceptance questions required of the award:

What does writing do for you?
I write for various reasons. Writing is beneficial — emotionally balancing. I write for my work and I once in a while get challenges that cause me to fret but usually I enjoy the work entirely. I write here on my blog and this is rewarding to me because what I put here is of most interest to me. Actually most of my posts are inspirational and this inspires me as I gather these together. I enjoy science posts because these are areas usually that I want to understand more myself.
_
What writer feeds your soul? Why?
The person that jumped immediately in my mind is Pierre Teilhard de Chardin because he was the first Christian author that I’d read and I’ve read many of his books and essays. I also enjoy reading C.S. Lewis stories with my son and we discuss these. I read the Bible daily – for example 1 John. I loved science fiction and Frank Herbert’s Dune series and others of his along with many books by Ursula K. Le Guin were favorites. These and other work change how I perceive others and myself — we all fit better into the puzzle of life as I explore more in reading other’s works.
_
What is your favorite subject (category) to write about?
Well, I like to find inspirations, but I suppose I most enjoy writing about science of the universe.
_
What post of yours means the most to you? Why?
I had a wonderful experience one day that I briefly shared: https://hunt4truth.wordpress.com/2013/10/01/i-am-the-tree-today/. The post contains the why of the experience being meaningful for me.
_
What about you will be most instrumental in God’s eternal plan for you, whatever that may be?
I may not speak for God; I think that I am a good teacher, but what would be in eternity for me to teach is an unknown. I will be pleased to be doing whatever work there is for me there.
_
What are you most passionate about in ministry and/or life in general?
I enjoy mentoring adults that need a second chance.
_
If your writing were discovered a thousand years from now, what would people learn about you, today’s world, and your interests?
I am Christian and I enjoy a variety of interests, ideas and people.
_
Talk about meeting your favorite Bible character (not Jesus).
I’d like to meet the apostles and especially Thomas. I’d ask them about the trials of being apostles after Jesus ascended and I suppose their views would be fascinating especially since they are in the Kingdom now. I’d love to learn from Noah how he built the ark.
_
Describe your writing process for something that moves you deeply.
I am deeply moved by the working of our universe and yet it is of course a great mystery in many ways. So, I do research and then I make an outline and many-many edits usually. I keep my writing brief because I try my best to make things interesting for a broad audience – and especially since most blog follows are not because of my science interests.
_
Describe your perfect meal and ultimate dessert.
I love a tender juicy steak, salad, potato, and crisp green beans and I don’t really want usually to have a dessert at the same time. However, I love to have apple pie and French vanilla ice cream. Probably this seems simple – it is.
