Failure

The CNN/YouTube Republican debate is tonight and I've submitted this question along with my good buddy Abe Lincoln and video master Wes Hennings. I've always been intrigued to see how God chooses to work through the weaknesses and failures of even the most powerful leaders. Failure has become the "F Word" for many people today, because in our pride, we've become very bad at ever admitting fault or recognizing our own frailty. I want to be like the Apostle Paul who embraced his own weaknesses so that the power of Christ might rest on him. I'm hoping that our future president won't be too proud to admit his failures. Failing itself isn't the tragedy...refusing to learn from the failure or denying it ever happened are the only ways to truly fail.
