Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Birth-Mark

Well ... I guess my biggest weakness is that I'm kind of a perfectionist.

In a hypercompetitive, winner-takes-all, always-upgrade-your-life kind of world like ours, average has basically become a dirty word.

Christianity is a celebration of personal inadequacy.

Grace is the face that love wears when it meets imperfect. Joseph R. Cooke

Perfectionism says: If I don’t do this right, I don’t deserve love. Grace says: You are loved already. Let’s grow from there.

You’re not a project to perfect. You’re a person to love.
