Quandary of the Lilies

considering pure lilies
they're giving me the willies,
exquisite pictures of good
I cannot live as I should

I don't think there is no one that is perfect. I know I'm not ,, the flaws are to many.

Aw, even though that is true, Eve, I'd say you're pretty well on your way to being! Wow, you must have been rummaging through my old stuff! Thanks!

The Bible tells us that all have sinned and fallen short of the Law but thanks be to Jesus we are still saved. He knows we can't be perfect. He just wants us to give it our best. Great stuff here Milton. God Bless, JB

Hey, Judy, thanks! I think it says "for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23 or 3:26, I think. Again, thanks. Christians no longer live under the law, according to most Protestant denominations, I think. I certainly couldn't keep 1/2 of those old laws!!! LOL
