Be Holy? Be Perfect? Who Me?

Be Holy? Be Perfect? Who Me?
Leviticus 19:1-2,9-18; Matthew 32 5:38-48

Some years ago there was a little country church with a pastor who had a dog and the folks of the church loved the dog as much as their pastor. The dog was a seeing eye dog, or a service dog, who helped the pastor who was totally blind. The dog would lead the pastor on visitation calls. The dog would be with the pastor in his office; would be present  for various church events; he even took part in worship.
