games like this, but I value my life too much. 

This could be a trick. If I mentioned my first mistake, maybe it would
be something she did not know before and now she does. How would that 
work out? 

We both laughed and went back to watching TV. 

I just could not get away from that question. If I really had a nickel
for every mistake I made I am sure I would be a wealthy man. I just 
wonder how in the world I could collect on something like that. 

Then there is the question as to your definition of a mistake. I am sure
my definition would be quite different from my wife's. Everybody has 
their own definition of these things. 

Even thinking about that a little bit, I began remembering some mistakes
that cost me money. Things I thought would turn out great only turned 
out dead in the water. 

Perhaps the biggest mistake anybody could make is believing that they do
not make mistakes. Sometimes it takes a married person to realize what 
mistakes really are. And if you think you do not make a mistake, then 
that is a big mistake, and you will pay dearly for that. 

If she had asked me what my first good choice was, I would have told her
it was her. My first mistake would have been, not meeting her at all. I 
remembered a very important verse of Scripture. “If we say that we have 
no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess 
our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to 
cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:8-9). 

It is not my mistakes but how I deal with them that makes all the
difference in the world.
