Hendricks - Do you know someone who is perfect?

Howard Hendricks was speaking at a conference in Dallas, and asked the question of the audience of 2000, “Do you know someone who is perfect?” He was about to go on, when he noticed a lone hand raised in the back of the auditorium. Hendricks asked, “Are you perfect, or do you know someone who is?” The man replied, “Oh, no, I’m not perfect. But as far as I can tell, my wife’s first husband was.” It is easier in these United States to walk away from a marriage than from a commitment to purchase a used car. (Time, September, 1993, quote from a professor at George Washington University School of Law).
