Got my Christmas tree looking like a Christmas tree should: nice and tacky. There are two things a Christmas tree can never have too much of. The first is color. Lots of color. Bright, shiny, gaudy, vivid, hallucinating color. The second is tinsel. I don't need to defend tinsel. My thanks go out to Lydia for helping put the tree up, and together. My tree is about as plastic as the star on top of it. But I love her all the same.
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
