Do you know the definition? Do you know what it means? More important… do you know how it applies to you? Webster’s definition says: “not possible to revoke”. Well, that’s not helpful, is it?

Happen to you? Of course. It really is immaterial how you got to ‘wrong’… you did! So did the world stop? No.? Was it catastrophic? How did it affect and/or change you? others? What did you DO about being ‘wrong’? We can gain some comfort and perspective when we read Proverbs. There is a wealth
