This is a post about nothing. Kind of like when you go to pray and you feel you have nothing to pray about and you end up pouring your heart out to God anyway. Even the picture has nothing to do with this nothing post, I just like it. I can do that because it’s my blog.

I am gradually switching over from my Blogger format to WordPress, and so far I like it. I don’t know what I am doing but I like it. No doubt it will change….right now it is not very fancy. There are no tabs at the top to describe anything. Eventually there will be an “About Me” tab and an “About This Blog” tab and maybe a few more.

There will also be buttons for Pinterest and Facebook and Twitter. Maybe I will even get really, really brave and do a Facebook Writer’s Page, but so far I haven’t given myself permission to call myself that yet.

I am working on it.

So please give me suggestions and ideas, and thank you in advance for being patient. Sometimes I would like to just scrawl on a piece of paper what I write and post it to Face book that way. Sometimes I get stray thoughts like: If John the Baptist had a blog what would it be like.

Out here on the edge of the desert, I feel him close somehow. There are places here that are lonely and desolate, and sometimes when I am hiking (watching out for rattlesnakes) I almost think I can hear his voice carried across the wind.

Warning the world. He must look different now in Heaven, not like a wildman wearing camel’s hair. But sometimes I would like to get a glimpse of the original version just for a moment.

The fever pitch of Christmas is upon us. Soon the Saguaros will be decked out with white lights, and I do love to see that. And the crazier everyone gets, the more I will want to slow down and make it last.

One moment at a time.
