Yesterday we were happy to welcome Rev. Mike back after his injury, and he brought us a message about learning from our mistakes. I think it's true, as we more commonly hear, that we fear mistakes more than we should because they can be good teachers, but as Rev. Mike pointed out, sometimes we learn too well. If a situation in our life seems like a chance to do right what we once did wrong, we might leap at it with zealous --- and comforting --- certainty, but in fact, no situation is a perfect "do-over" of anything that went before, and it's important to be open to questioning and uncertainty at each new turn.
