Just thinking. I tend to say that my sin is ever before me. And a lot of my sin is. But which ones?
I have a friend who is gay. I have a couple of friends from school who are now drug addicts. One of which became a crack whore. I have another friend who steals. I have no condemnation for them. I see my own sin when I think of them. I'm no better than they.
And yet...
I have a friend who condemns a women for having an abortion and yet he's cheated on his wife at least six times. I have a friend who condemns another for drinking a wine cooler. I have family who will not associate with people of color. When I look at their lives, I see their sin. And I am better than they are. I don't condemn the sinners. But I do condemn the Pharisees.
Hmmm. Doesn't that make me a pharisee? I'd rather not think about it.

From one Pharisee to another, I'm praying for you (will you pray for me, too?).
Man, Leslie, you're so paranoid.
Wow I laughed out loud, by myself, at Leslie's comment. Crissy, I am so glad that I am way better than you. I would never think that I am better than those other people. Uh, wait a second... Nope, I'm just better than you.
luv, your way better friend that you seriously look up to and wish to be like in every way... KimHill (as Gracie would say)
