But, at the end of every day, I regret a lot of things from that day alone. Things I said that I shouldn't have said. Things I wish I had done that I didn't do. Falling back on this bizarre idea that whatever ended up happening was supposed to happen, is ridiculous. Everyone screws up all of the time. And there are consequences for these actions. God is gracious, and quick to forgive. But, the regret should remain. For the crime itself, and what was lost because of it.
