Perfection?

Why do we strive for perfection?

The New England Patriots were on the brink of doing what only one other team in NFL history has ever done - have a undefeated, perfect season.

As we all know there were a few Giants in the way to stop them and those Giants from New York did just that, winning 17-14 in the SuperBowl and giving the Patriots their only loss of the season.

Many Patriots said that it left their season incomplete, but why?

I am one of those that strives for perfection. A very bad and nasty habit if taken to the extreme. Failure is OK. Imperfection is OK. It has to be - just look at you and me!

When you fail it is what you do with that failure that matters most. David got caught with another man's wife, murdering her husband and getting her pregnant. Peter got caught denying and lying his way through the night that Jesus was taken to his destiny on the cross. Phillip got caught saying there was no way Jesus could feed the 5,000 men on the hillside one evening. Moses got caught trying to deliver the people of Israel his way by murdering an Egyptian. Judah got caught selling his brother Joseph off. Samson got caught...you get the idea I'm sure!

All these men failed and lost their "perfect season" but take a look in the Bible and see their outcomes and you'll see that despite the failures they got back up to win again!

You can win again too! You will win again too!

By the way Colts fans and the rest of the NFL, I think that the Patriots will be out to win again!
