Add to the Beauty - Sara Groves

In my mind the new album is about the kingdom of God, how it really does exist, and is as real as your car or your Krispy Kreme donut, your family, your problems. If we can figure it out, God has invited us to live in His kingdom in the midst of our regular existance. It is not a place of isolation and perfection, it is not far away where we cannot reach it. It happens at all the places where we intersect with each other. I hope the album is another reminder that the kingdom of God doesn't just come in the rally or worship event. It comes when I speak respecfully to my husband, and refrain from letting my anger spill over onto my kids, when I have an opportunity to gossip and refrain, when I open up my home, when I mess up royally, and have the stuff to go apologize, when I refuse to blame everyone else for my problems. These songs are about the beautiful character that grows out of seeing people through by loving God, and loving people.
