Great Blogging Quote

My wife and I watched the movie "Contagion" last night.  This quote made me laugh out loud:

"Blogging is not writing.  It's graffiti with punctuation!"

BWAAA HAhahahahahaha  !!!!!!!

Painting Pictures of Egypt - Sara Groves

I've typed and re-typed all kinds of thoughts inspired by this song.  In the end I felt I should just post the song and let it go at that.  It touched me.  Maybe it will touch you. 

May the Holy Spirit lead you and guide you into all truth and comfort and peace...

Sara Groves – Painting Pictures of Egypt

I don’t want to leave here
I don’t want to stay
It feels like pinching to me either way
And the places I long for the most
Are the places where I’ve been
They are calling out to me like a long lost friend

It’s not about losing faith
It’s not about trust
It’s all about comfortable
When you move so much
And the place I was wasn’t perfect
But I had found a way to live
And it wasn’t milk or honey
But then neither is this

CHORUS:
I’ve been painting pictures of Egypt
Leaving out what it lacks
The future feels so hard
And I want to go back
But the places that used to fit me
Cannot hold the things I’ve learned
And those roads were closed off to me
While my back was turned

The past is so tangible
I know it by heart
Familiar things are never easy to discard
And I was dying for some freedom
But now I hesitate to go
I am caught between the promise
And the things I know

CHORUS: (2x)
Oh, those roads were closed off to me
While my back was turned

BRIDGE:
If it comes too quick
I may not appreciate it
Is that the reason behind all this time and sand?
If it comes too quick
I may not recognize it
Is that the reason behind all this time and sand?
