Athens and Sparta were superpowers in Ancient Greece. In some ways the two city-states were similar‚ and in some ways they were different.

No social/economic class‚ even the upper

My wife Kathy is not the perfect wife‚ but she is “my perfect wife”. “Ahh‚ how cute” you are thinking. “He is such a sweet husband to say that.” I don’t think you understand.

It is impossible of course unless God is involved. He can take an imperfect woman and make her my perfect wife. Kathy still makes wrong decisions at times. She

I haven’t had a relaxing night of sleep in months and often awaken far later than I had planned‚ feeling guilty‚ stiff‚ and still sleepy.

Imperfections of Being Perfect I’m trapped in a world of fame. Not much of my life goes unrecognized by the public eye. The bright cameras‚ the constant paparazzi‚ and the false accusations have taken over my life. I’m not quite sure what these “normal” people want to be famous for. They admire me. They want to be just like me. The numerous amounts of fan mail I receive darken my spirits. How could you look up to someone like me? Why would you trade your freedom to live the life I live?
