During my junior year of college I came up with a story about my time in elementary school to set the stage for what people should expect of me. Whenever someone would question whether or not I was right about a certain issue or if I had done something correctly, I would tell them that in in elementary school I would tear the erasers off all my pencils and sharpen both ends. Not only did this stop me from making mistakes, but it allowed me to write quicker because of the newly formed aerodynamic shape of the pencil. As far as they were concerned I hadn't made a mistake in 20 years. Though this started out as a joke, it quickly grew into an interesting tid bit that I share with people shortly after meeting them.......So I've chosen to share it here. I obviously have not lived a flawless life, but I believe that people should constantly push themselves towards perfection and shrink the margin for error. Life doesn't have erasers. How will you use your pencil?

This entry "No Erasers" reminded me of this...
Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.
Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet ; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, have this attitude ; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you; however, let us keep living by that same standard to which we have attained.
That's found in Scripture...Philippians 3:12-16 :)
Hope you enjoy it and it speaks to you.
