Fonzie

From the Book of James: “...Admit your faults to one other..."  While in college I watched the 1970’s TV sitcom series Happy Days. One iconic character was Arthur Fonzarelli, Fonzie. A running gag in the show was Fonzie's inability to admit a mistake. The first two words, "I was," came out fine, but it was that third one, "wrong," that always tripped him up. Try as he might the Fonz simply couldn't admit an error. "I was wrrrr-rrr-rrr" was about the closest he could get. Decades later, I marvel at how many of us are personified by this all-too-human shortcoming. Having the courage to admit we've screwed up is one of the hardest things to do. The writer of Proverbs 28:13 penned this: “…A man who refuses to admit his mistakes can never be successful. But if he confesses and forsakes them, he gets another chance…” One of the most helpful things you can do is forgive others who have erred and admit your faults. Giving and receiving apologies isn't just a matter of etiquette, it's a crucial component of our walk with Christ…Pastor Keith #minmchurch
