Emmanuel


No other belief system or religion can offer that God came to us in human flesh. By knowing us intimately, this Child saved us from ourselves and offered the gift of Himself, salvation and His Kingdom. Glory to God is the Highest. I open my hands to receive the blessing of Your birth.

she said it best

There are rare moments when someone articulates precisely your opinion on a matter. You need not add anything but a credit to them. I found this in the beautiful Alexandra von Maltzan's blog:


"One of my favorite readers Ken Pierce posed an interesting question, following yesterday's post, 'A Cut Above' The Chief Justice John Roberts Look.' He says "....[he] will have to give some thought to the question of how well [his] wardrobe communicates integrity, which is pretty much the controlling virtue in [his] own ethical system.

"The Integrity lies in standing by what you choose to wear. And what you choose to wear, is who you are. Like the famous designer Coco Chanel said once: "I don't do fashion, I am fashion."

"You therefore make your own style, which you feel conveys clearly what you stand for, and allows you to remain true to yourself.

"The ‘Integrity’ litmus test, essentially relies on what your wardrobe communicates to you about yourself. You don’t do integrity, you are integrity. Therefore there must never be a gap between what you say and what you wear.

"Humility is an important balance to confidence in the integrity of your style, and wearing your heart on your well cut sleeve is 'The Chief Justice John Roberts' Look of Integrity' trademark, that is so in vogue right now in men's fashion in America."


Maybe Chief Justice Robert's impeccable style will influence the rest of Washington.
