I get it—I do: I also have some tattoos I regret.

Nobody is perfect.

We all make mistakes. As a Christian, I believe that there is nothing—nothing—that is unforgivable. And at the more mundane level, I believe in second chances as someone who has needed a lot of those over the years. I myself am not very good at forgiving and forgetting, but that is a shortcoming in my character that says nothing about the virtues of forgiving and forgetting.
