With some exclusions of course....the truth of the matter is we are all a little like this, what we declare doesn't always match what we live. I saw a church in Atlanta, GA during the '96 Olympics and the name of the church was 'The Perfect Church.' I went up on its porch and saw a big chain locking the front doors. I guess that's how it stayed perfect, it let no one in. Ironies and imperfections don't keep us from growth in God's kingdom, or they shouldn't. We don't ignore them, we seek to overcome them by the grace of God . May your new year know no fences in your seeking to know and serve Christ more fully.
"Therefore we do not lost heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweights them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. II Cor. 4:16-18
Good thought. Pat C
