Perfection...

"Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it." - Salvador Dali


We all strive for perfection. It seems to be an ingrained trait put there by our creator. But we as humans cannot ever hope to achieve perfection without Christ in our lives. And even then perfection will not be completed until the end of our days.

We need to step back and take a deep breath. We need to resolve ourselves to the fact that nothing is perfect. It's okay to strive for perfection but not to the point where it becomes an all-consuming passion in our lives.

If you fall off the wagon, don't fret. We all make mistakes and will continue to do so. I am no ironman and have fallen off many times. This week it seems I have been falling off every day by going over in calories. Does that get me down? Yes. But I get right back on the horse and try again the next day. The difference between failing and falling is not trying.

"A good garden may have some weeds." - Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia, 1732
