mind

It’s amazing to me how easy it is to judge people.

We see them, we see what they are wearing…. what they smell like… how they are acting.

And we score them. We judge them based on other people that we have know that look, and act like they do.

It blows my mind how easy it is to judge people…… until we are in their shoes.

Until it’s our kid that is being loud at the restaurant.

Until it’s our job that was just lost.

Until it’s our marriage that is falling apart.

Until it’s our sin that is exposed.

I am not making excuses, just realizing how much grace Jesus walked in where ever he went. Jesus was truly the only perfect person to ever lived, the only person that had the position and right to judge, and the only people I see Him judging are the religious hypocrites.

Matthew 7:1-5 “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.” (ESV)

I saw this article link from the Drudge Report this morning; and my heart broke. I can’t imagine the pain someone would have to feel in order to change his physical gender. Mr. McBeth is a 71 year old man that just had “gender reasignment” surgery. He was a sub teacher at a Modesto elementry school before the sex change op. And now he wants to come back as Mrs. McBeth. What kind of self absorbed man would do this to children ? It is disgusting and wrong imo (I dont really care about what he has done to himself…but to subject little children to the confusion and choas this man is undergoing in his own mind is just wrong.)

My friend Andy wrote a blog titled “Down with the Man” last week. In it he talked about the sissification (my word) of the role of a man. Well it seems Mr. Mcbeth is taking this to a whole different level. Normally I would have just read this article and let is slip by. But the fact that Mr. Mcbeth wants to subject little ones to such confusion really pisses me off. There is a word for what he is trying to do: WRONG. It is wrong for a grown man to carelessly disreguard innocence and try to strip it away from helpless little ones. It is wrong for people to stand by and do nothing, say nothing, feel nothing.

Not sure if its supposed to be like this:life is busy. Sometimes I wonder how I will manage when little ones come our way. It seems like just with the 3 of us, me/stace/andre, life is so hectic. I guess I better just get used to it. It makes me appreciate the quite times I get to spend with my wife..cuddling in bed, taking andre for a walk, or driving here and there with her, in between craziness. FYI I love my wife very much and I can’t imagine life without her…not would I ever want to.
