Blainerb:  To "be perfect," it seems one would first have to become perfect--which may take more time for some than others.  I do OK in following the admonitions of Jesus Christ, and I believe I do better each day--but I am after all a son of Adam and Eve, from whom I inherited imperfections.      In a message dated 12/16/2005 9:03:41 P.M.
