Posting resumes

I haven't posted the past few weeks due to lack of time and trying to get all of the covenant stuff collected into a paper.  What was here on the blog, I've expanded, refined and clarified.  I'll send you all a copy of the final thing via email, hopefully, sometime this weekend.

Thanks for your feedback and input and proof-reading.

Name change

The blog's new name comes from one of my favorite scriptures.  It is a Messianic prophecy found in Isaiah 61 verse 3.  Speaking of the Redeemer's role it states:

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;  that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

Some of Isaiah's words are so poetic.  How often do we find ourselves in the ashes of life? Or find that despite our best efforts everything has turned to ashes around us?  But here we find this glorious promise.  If we give these ashes to the Savior he will turn them into something beautiful in our lives.  All things shall be for our good.

Happy 1 Year Anniversary

Congrats to Jess and Devin on their one year anniversary!!  They are such a special couple.  Devin treats Jess like a queen.  He always compliments and builds her up.  We love and appreciate him.  The day of their wedding, one year ago, was definitely one of the highlights of my life.
