I have shared in the past the untruths about Christmas Day, but please consider how do the following essay and Bible study relate to the Christmas season?

Hi all!  Consider the following:

Twas the month before Christmas

About Perfectionism

(by Bill Stevenson, 4/28 & 30/05)

I am sure you know what perfectionism means.  In what forms can it be obtained or nearly accomplished by human beings?  Have you scored 100% right on a test or quiz in school?  Have you seen a gymnast or diving board athlete do what seemed to you a flawless performance in an event?  Have you read a book (other than the Bible) that seemed perfect…
