Last week I was much too busy.

So when I was tagged by artist Winsome Gunning and given a Thinking Blogger Award, I decided to postpone giving my awards until this week.

(”OH NO, ANOTHER MEME!” I thought at the time.)

But now, without futher ado, I present my THINKING BLOGGER AWARDS.

.

My first Thinking Blogger Award goes to Jana Allard. Jana has the perfect position in life to be way too “preachy,” but she isn’t. She’s sweet and warm and understanding. Jana makes me think. Thanks, Jana.

.

My second Thinking Blogger Award goes to Esbee. Esbee writes about her everyday life in Winston-Salem. She keeps me informed on lots of events I’d miss, if I didn’t read her blog. Esbee has a beautiful cat named Hadley. Esbee makes me think. Thanks, Esbee.

.

My third Thinking Blogger Award goes to Shirley Buxton for her Devotional site. Shirley has another blog and may want to present her awards there. She and her husband have more energy than I do and are building a new church. I think I make Shirley mad or at least frustrated sometimes, but Shirley makes me think. Thanks, Shirley.

.

My fourth Thinking Blogger Award goes to Terry, who presents some alternate views concerning people and places. Terry makes me think. Thanks, Terry.

.

My fifth Thinking Blogger Award goes to EarthPal, who left her “real name” in a comment on my blog and then told me not to tell anyone. :-) She writes about environmental issues. EarthPal makes me think. Thanks, EarthPal.

These are among the many blogs I read daily that cause me to think. And I just noticed I chose all blogs written by women. Better luck next time, guys! :-)
