A Church For Imperfect People People who live with perfectionists say that the challenge can be about as enjoyable as trying to hug a cactus. Nothing you do is ever quite right. Appreciation is rarely expressed.
Criticism follows criticism.
You can't really relax because the job is never finished. Everything is incomplete. Perfectionists see the importance of getting things right. But what they don't understand is how to live gracefully with their own imperfections and those of others. Some of us who would not think of ourselves as perfectionists are miserably compulsive when it comes to our churches.
