Can't model perfection; model growth

"We think we have to model perfection and not admit to something less. But we can't model perfection, because we're not perfect; we can only model growth. The people around us need to know that we are real people in the process of maturing. They need to see how we handle failure as well as how we handle success." --Neil Anderson

Those often considered leaders must take the lead here. I remember a college professor saying he didn't feel he could "walk down the aisle" to make a confession or ask for prayer if he needed to. I knew then we had some things wrong that needed fixing. Still true, I suppose.
