Mistakes: Learning the Hard Way...

Everyone makes mistakes...  

Some of us make more than others. 

Just take a minute and think about some of the mistakes you have made over the years.   And then think about how many of those mistakes taught you something.  

We all learning in different ways, but one sure fire way to learn is through personal experience.  And when we make a mistake, we have first hand knowledge and understanding of what happens when we throw an aerosol can into a burn barrel or try to stop the lawn mower by removing the spark plug cover.  For some of us we have to learn the hard way before we will believe someone else or a warning label is true.  

Do you have one you would like to share.  Comment or email me with your stories.  For sure I hope you will join me during the weeks of lent, as I examine some of the mistakes I and other disciples have made trying to follow Jesus.  With the hope that we all can learn from their mistakes and find encouragement along this journey towards perfection.
