Therefore you have no excuse, whoever you are, when you judge others; for in
passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very
same things.
Jesus put it succinctly, "Judge not that you be not judged." When we point the finger at someone
else, we convict ourselves. We all stand in need of salvation through Jesus Christ.
(Romans 2:1
NRSV)
Remember Ann Richard's classic description of George Bush? "He was born on third base and
thought he hit a triple." It may have been a bit unfair to describe former President Bush like that,
but it is certainly true of many of us. Not everybody had the kind of parents we had, not
everybody had the opportunities we had, not everybody had the crucial life experiences that we
had, and when we point a finger at anybody else and say, "They don't count, they're unworthy to
have a place at the Father's table," three fingers point back at us.
Dear God, teach me to be a lot less judgmental and a lot more caring. Amen.
