Failure's relative. I've always felt, even early on, if I lose the freedom to fail, something's not right about that. It's how you treat failure, too. There's something to learn from it.

A failure because you misunderstood it yourself?

May our faith in the Father and the Son help each of us to become whole.

We become what we love and who we love shapes what we become. If we love things, we become a thing. If we love nothing, we become nothing.
