This is inevitable. There aren't many who can claim that they have never gotten an "F" on some assignment when they were in school. I am no exception to this rule. In fact I almost flunked out of the 4th grade in a private school. Not one of my proudest moments, but it did indeed "almost" happen.
There are still so many more things that can be failed. If you think about anything that you can do, there is probably someone somewhere that has failed at that thing. I am a failure at whistling. I just cannot do it. I am also a failure at putting my clean clothes away on time. Yes, there is a fairly large pile in my bedroom as we speak.
This week I have failed at keeping my calendar up to date. I remembered, and was reminded, to make a snack for my Bible study. I also remembered to be at the house at 8 am Friday for the exterminator. I, however, couldn't remember any of my other obligations. I forgot what date we weren't having small group. I forgot what date we were having the Confirmation lunch. I even forgot the darned checkbook this morning! I am having a very failed week so far.
In the end, I am not perfect, even if Keith does like to say I am. I cannot expect myself to be able to meet ALL of my obligations without failing at some. The goal here is to get better. If I feel there is too much, cut down. If I feel the current process isn't working, find one that does.
I would like to apologize to those that I have let down this week. I promise it will not happen again, at least for a little while. I may run into another "fail" week again before too long. Thanks for understanding. . .
