Beauty on the Backroads

Stories of grace for life's unexpected turns

Anthem Thursday: Painting Pictures of Egypt

I heard this song years ago. Its message still hits me, especially this week, which officially ushers in a season of transition and waiting. And I love Sara Groves’ music.

What’s Egypt look like for you?

    I love this song and it’s so apt for me today (we’re moving soon!). She has a lovely voice–I need to check out more of her stuff. Just love those lyrics, too!

      She is one of my favorites! Definitely check out more! And all the best on your move! That may be on the horizon for us, too. Change is in the air! May it smell sweet!

Welcome

Hi. I’m Lisa, and I’m glad you’re here. If we were meeting in real life, I’d offer you something to eat or drink while we sat on the porch letting the conversation wander as it does. That’s a little bit what this space is like. We talk about books and family and travel and food and running, whatever I might encounter in world. I’m looking for the beauty in the midst of it all, even the tough stuff. (You’ll find a lot of that here, too.) Thanks for stopping by. Stay as long as you like.
