judging

Just a thought... Maybe, just maybe, this was her first day on the job, and she wanted to make sure she did everything right? It doesn't matter how much experience you have in a certain field, if you start a new job there will always be a slight learning curve in the beginning. When WalMart has new cashiers out on the floor, they usually end up in the express lanes (10 or 20 items) for a few days until they are ready for prime time. Darren, please understand I am "preaching" to myself as well :)
Reading a book while standing in line is a great idea... however, if it is anything like the grocery list I tend to forget to bring, I am out of luck.

Darren,
This is just my thoughts on judging others and also judging every event and happening in our daily lives. Judging is just human and is of the flesh. We all do it and we all find overcoming judging almost impossible. We all have experiences in our lives which cause us to grow as individuals and our judging is based on these experiences. However, I do feel all these experiences are of GOD and I do not question HIS motives.
Right now, I am fleeing from the loud mouth of a local Baptist preacher who I very much dislike. My wife is in attendance at her local Baptist church and her 95 year old aunt is in my den watching the services of two other local Baptist churches. The audio is so high that I still can hear even with my door closed. What really is bad is that I will need to go to the den by 11:30 to get dinner on the table. Guess what, the loud mouthed preacher will be right in the middle of his "damnable message".
I pray now for forgiveness for the judging that I am going to be guilty of and for patience when the dinner time topic will be what a wonderful message this preacher preached. My only hope is that GOD is using this experience for my growth and hopefully for others.
The only way we can get beyond judging is to be more CHRIST Like. I sure do have a long way to go. My only solace is that all is of GOD and I do not question HIS motives as I now have to go into my den and listen to heresy.
Praise GOD for HE is worthy and my experiences are designed by HIM for a purpose. IN HIM, Phil3:10

Hi Phil3:10,
You have a very difficult situation on your hands and I understand your frustration. I'm praying that God will provide a solution for you, very soon.

Surely if we were more Christlike we WOULD be judging and speaking it out.
Just a thought,

Hi Geoff,
When I posted that little tune up there, it was for an example of a caution sign. Sort of like the day- glow paint on propeller tips.
Leaves a visible circle in the air as a warning the engine is running, or on a school bus etc.
Because Ray has opened the scriptures for me, I can now judge someone who preaching, you know, one of the spin doctors.
Sometimes I open my mouth and snap at someone and almost instantly regret saying what I said. To do so is a sin. And I have offended or hurt that person, and I can't undo the wrong. Physical circumstances, pain,and a lot of other thing sometimes gives me a short fuse. I hope that this will help someone to avoid doing this.
