Yeah, and "sheet" stupidity is a new term I just invented that has a very significant depth of meaning to it. I'll let you know when I find a definition worthy of the word.

Yea for proofreading
Nay for typos

Another fascinating aspect is how God uses our sheet stupidity to orchestrate events in our lives and guide us to places that we wouldn't be or go otherwise. I just had that happen to me. There is such beauty in that!

There is also the side when WE just blow it and it FEELS like no good could ever come of it. I'm not so good at handling this part! I've done things, I've said things, I've lived with regret! I guess it all comes down to trust. We need to trust God for the future, we need to trust God right now, but we also need to trust God with out past! I'm learning that, slowly and it's difficult!

Glad the stupid rotten feeling is gone. it may take a while to get over the disappointment.
Another story: Even worse for me than the film episode was once upon a time when I got an interesting email and without thinking forwarded it to a missionary in a closed country and was informed in no uncertain terms that I may have put people's lives in danger.
Somehow, you have to believe that God is sovereign, even over our sheer stupidity.

Thanks for the stories, folks, they actually do make me feel better. It was still disappointing, even if you take out the embarrassment aspect.

Anita, it is sort of funny, now that you mention it. But it wasn't then! Still isn't, really. But the stupid rotten feeling is definitely gone.

Hey Byron! I know how you feel. I video taped by best friend's wedding and after I got back I found I had not hooked up the audio cable! As you can imagine, I was REALLY upset! I know just how you feel!

About 19 years ago the whole Wilton Smucker clan gathered to bid us goodbye before we left for Canada. After dinner I set up a tripod, arranged everyone under the walnut tree, (Vow: never again) pushed the self-timer, zipped over beside Paul, and took family pictures.
The next week, when there was no more chance of redoing those pictures, I discovered I never had film in the camera.
Your dad still gives me a hard time about this.

Hey By, everybody makes stupid mistakes somewhere in life! I know what it feels like. There's not a lot you can do but wait. Hopefully you can take some comfort that nobody's mad at you?!
