BEAUTY FROM THE ASHES

August 21, 2020

Well, if there was ever a time to drink over something, it is now.

But, don't worry, I am not going to drink over any of this—and, I hope you won't either. If I can do it, so can you.

So much sadness and loss. So many people losing everything—not only from COVID repercussions of the shut down, but now, from the fires raging in our Santa Cruz Mountains and all across the state. 

Talk about helplessness. Powerlessness. 

God is doing something. I don't know what—I need to trust. What I DO know is that I am available to serve in whatever capacity I can. 

I am sober, whole, present for someone in need.

There will be beauty from the ashes.

"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
      because the Lord has anointed me
      to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to 
bind up the brokenhearted...
to 
comfort all who mourn,
      and provide for those who 
grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of 
beauty
      instead of 
ashes,
the oil of 
joy
      instead of 
mourning,
and a garment of 
praise
      instead of a spirit of 
despair.”

Isaiah 61:1-3
