In the Scent of Bread, Good Books, and the Color Orange
About Me
- Lori
- I'm a wife/mother/writer, journeying in grace. Things I like: my crazy family, vintage textiles, the scents of basil and bread and melted chocolate, and telling stories with Truth in the middle. Things I dislike: pickled fruits, the sound of brooms on concrete, slugs, and the Oakland Raiders.
A Traveller is Born
"This book it chalketh out before thine eyes
The man that seeks the everlasting Prize;
It shows you whence he comes, whither he goes,
What he leaves undone; also what he does:
It also shows you how he runs, and runs
Til he unto the Gate of Glory comes.
It shows too, who set out for life amain,
As if the lasting crown they would attain;
Here also you may see the reason why
They lose their labor, and like Fools do die.
This book will make a Traveller of thee..."
-John Bunyan (Pilgrim's Progress, from the Author's Apology)
