Stories of grace for life's unexpected turns

Anthem Thursday: The Same God

April 5, 2012

Another timely reminder. We’re walking an unfamiliar road right now. Or at least, an unexpected one. And I have trouble with why God would take us down this path. I’m encouraged by this song, “The Same God,” by Newsong.

The Bible says Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. I need that right now.

Anthem Thursday: God Gave Me You

March 29, 2012

I can’t get this song out of my head this week. Phil and I are approaching our fifth wedding anniversary — five years full of ups and downs with more of each to come, I’m sure.

I know a guy sings this song (both versions) but I feel the words are true from either partner in the marriage.

Enjoy.

And for the country version …

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.
