We should not underestimate or overlook the power of the Lord’s tender mercies. The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live. When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance (see 1 Ne. 1:20).

Table

Well we finished it!! We actually finished it about 2 weeks ago but in my business I hadn't had the time to post about it but here it is.
Now remember this was the table and chairs we were using before.

Here is the new, used table the way we bought it before we started refinishing it.



This is the finished project. It is not perfect but it is large jump forward. We had to tweak a few things mostly we wanted the top to be lighter so that it would be a bigger contrast between the black bottom and the brown top of the table but it didn't work so this is what we have for now and Shiloh is throwing around the idea of some day building a new top for the table because we really like the legs to the table and the chairs.


Now that it is done we need to have a dinner party. So who wants to come over first?
p.s. Stay tune for some pictures of our next project. Shiloh is currently working on built in bookcases with a window seat for our office. We are always up to something.
