The Atonement allows for us to be forgiven when we repent of our mistakes, no matter how big or small.  We should always strive to live and keep the commandments, but if we stumble, we can repent and be made clean again.  We are here on earth to be tested and tried and we will occasionally  mess up! Let's help each other to keep the mistakes small and limited and repent when necessary.  "Keep the commandments, for in this there is safety and peace."
