My thoughts & questions

Saturday, May 29, 2004

I came across a word today and was interested in its full definition. Impeccable means "not liable to sin; exempt from the possibility of doing wrong." I had been considering this term in a sub title for Horton Construction - impeccable builders. Then I realized that a title like that might set up the company for failure.

So far, in my experience, I think it is unlikely that anyone but God could be completely impeccable. Which leads me to the question, where would we be able to use the word impeccable in daily language? Is impeccability subjective or objective? Could someone be impeccable in math? Logic? Science? Language? Perhaps it would be possible in that moment in time, verified by all existing knowledge on the subject, and only to those evaluators. But would it be impeccable to those of the past or those of the future? Could impeccability stand the test of time?

I myself have not been impeccable. I have sinned and done wrong. But for the grace of God...
