We haven’t yet cleaned up the Thanksgiving leftovers and already its time to set up the Christmas Tree! Nathan carried it up from the basement for us yesterday (I’m still not supposed to lift much) and this morning I helped Anita put lights on the tree. When do you suppose they’ll start selling Christmas lights with a warranty?

NASA is using today’s technology to plan another trip to the moon, and we can’t manufacture Christmas tree lights that stay lit two years in a row! We replaced a burned out bulb with a new one and the light was so dim we had to replace it. Why can’t they standardize those lights so they all take the same bulb and socket? So frustrating.

I wonder if the Lord thinks the same things about us when he’s trying to develop us down here on earth. Do you think he gets frustrated? Do you think he wishes we came with a warranty? Just thinkin’ out loud.
