Sharon,

Very poetic but very true.  The other day I was getting a glass out of a 
cupboard in the kitchen to get a drink.  We have a one gallon container 
which purifies the water.  You hold your glass under a little faucet handle 
and the water that has already passed through the filter, drops into your 
glass.  So, as I was getting down a new glass, I was thinking, praying on 
the fly, actually, and I told the Lord, "I'm not asking to be perfect before 
going to Heaven because I know that isn't required since you are perfect in 
my behalf.  But," I said, "I would like to be as free as possible, for some 
reason, of everything that might hinder me in my relationship with you down 
here on earth before going to live with you in Heaven."  Sort of a strange 
feeling about it and a strange way of talking about it but the way you put 
it, Sharon, is how I felt.

Phil.
