Boast In Weakness

Three months ago, Darren and I agreed that he would put up two Facebook posts a month, and I would write a K Anything each month. I assumed I would fail first, but I’m not ready to give up yet. The last two months I have enjoyed writing up ideas for possible juggling shows, and I have also written up a new juggling bit based on the wise and foolish builders that we are actually going to use so I won’t put it on hear. I enjoyed writing these and was planning on writing another bit for the November K Anything. My idea was to expand on our t-shirts.  Our t-shirts have “dropping the ball" on the front and on the back they have 2nd Cor. 12:9

 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 about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

I really like the shirts. Audiences have always been amazingly forgiving of our drops and allowed us to perform with few worries, and I think this is an interesting type of grace that we regularly receive. However, this verse is not actually in the show, so trying to figure out a “boasting in weakness” routine was my goal for the month.
​
I haven’t figured anything out. My first ideas involved one person doing something poorly that allowed the other one to shine. This weren’t really right. They ended up making God sound like an insecure bride who forced His bridesmaids to wear ugly dresses, so I threw those out.
​ 
In 2nd Corinthians, the weakness that Paul is talking about is a “thorn in his side” that was given to him to keep him humble.  In a lot of ways a juggling show is just getting on a stage and showing off for while, which makes it hard to think of a way to make an act that centers around humility. Even though I don’t have an idea, I am going to post this. My dad is pretty much the only person who reads these things, and he always comments with an article or two, so hopefully one of those will give me an idea. If I get an idea you’ll read it in January.
