Making Mistakes

If being wrong is such a sin, then why CAN we make mistakes?  I'm sure that God
would have abandoned us all by now if He thought that we couldn't learn anything.
By making mistakes we take nature's paths to success.  Figuring out whether we're
right or wrong can be half the fun of the trip - if we ride out our storms in the right way...
Learning lessons the hard way may not be as much fun as the other, but it also happens
for a reason, and my reasoning tells me that my eyes have needed opening each and
ev'ry time I have made a mistake.  And, as time goes on, more and more each day I
realize that I am not perfect.
