Just a personal insight I thought I would share in case it would help out anyone else. We all make mistakes, no... that is not the insight; I'm sure you've all figured that one out already.
Let me start with a poem by Shel Silverstein
Melinda Mae
Have you heard of tiny Melinda Mae,
Who ate a monstrous whale?
She thought she could,
She said she would,
So she started in right at the tail.
And everyone said,"You're much too small,"
But that didn't bother Melinda at all,
She took little bites and she chewed very slow,
Just like a little girl should...
...and eighty-nine years later she ate that whale
Because she said she would!!!
So we all make mistakes, they may be little ones at first, but if we don't do anything about them, they can turn into big problems. On the other hand, and this is the really neat part, it only takes just a little effort every day to keep on the straight an narrow path once you are on it... consistent sincere prayer, real scripture study and true repentance when you notice each little slip-up, that way you're not "eating a whale" you're just taking one bite at a time... baby steps.
