I am always astonished at how God worked through my failures and got me through them sort of in tact--Especially, as a manager of large departments when my decisions were not always good and caused harm.
Frank,
Me, too! God is amazing and truly redeems all things for our good and for His glory, even our failures. Satan intends for our failures to defeat and devastate us, but God works through them so we can be more than conquerors, e.g.-consider Peter. (Not that we shouldn't be concerned about how we live, for we certainly should strive to walk in His will and His ways through his strength, of course, but you know what I mean...)
Psalm 103!
