I gave a talk three weeks ago on judging other really all I can say is I judge people all the time. I do not mean to at all but after this talk it is like one of the worst thing I found I do. It is so wired that I did not even think about it before. I am really bad at it when I am driving. If I am behind someone slow I think to myself they must be really old and if you cannot drive the speed limit get off the road. I think I even do it more now that I have a kid. It is like kicking the bad habit of saying a bad word it just comes out before you even know it then you have to work on noticing it and then trying to stop you self from saying it. What is the hardest is not thinking it. Our neighbor below us has a husband who is paralyzed from like the chest down. Any way she also has a little boy she takes care of. She is every nice loves to talk. When we first met I just wanted to avoid her like the pelage. Also I was sure they were doing drugs which made me think that they were horrible people. Well this last week she came up to get some salt and she ended up telling us what happen to her husband and how she got through it. Her husband was diagnosed with some disease that affects your body and makes you slowly become paralyzed and you die from it. As he was diagnosed with this disease she found out she was going to have her first kid. She ending up tells us that because she believes in the lord that she knows she can get through this and that she will see her husband again. I feel so bad this leady had some much going on in her life and I was trying to avoid her just beside she wanted to talk a lot and she look messy. I now look at her through the lords eyes that she has the biggest heart I know. I also know that if I need something she would help me out no matter what. We need not do unrighteous judging.
Story I found that I said in my talk I thought it was funny and I would be so horrified if I did this.
One night there was a woman at the airport who had to wait for several hours before catching her next flight. While she waited she bought a book and a pack of biscuits to spend the time. She looked for a place to sit and waited.
She was deep into her book, when suddenly she realized that there was a young man sitting next to her who was stretching his hand, with no concern whatsoever, and grabbing the pack of cookies lying between them. He started to eat them one by one.
Not wanting to make a fuss about it she decided to ignore him. The woman, slightly bothered, ate the cookies and watched the clock, while the young and shameless thief of biscuits was also finishing them. The woman started to get really angry at this point and thought ‘If I wasn’t such a good and educated person, I would have given this daring man a black eye by now.’
Every time she ate a biscuit, he had one too. The dialogue between their eyes continued and when only one biscuit was left, she wondered what he was going to do. Softly and with a nervous smile, the young man grabbed the last biscuit and broke it in two. He offered one half to the woman while he ate the other half.
Briskly she took the biscuit and thought, ‘What an insolent man! How uneducated! He didn’t even thank me!’ She had never met anybody so fresh and sighed relieved to hear her flight announced. She grabbed her bags and went towards the boarding gate refusing to look back to where that insolent thief was seated.
After boarding the plane and nicely seated, she looked for her book which was nearly finished by now. While looking into her bag she was totally surprised to find her pack of biscuits nearly intact. ‘If my biscuits are here’, she thought feeling terribly, ‘those others were his and he tried to share them with me.’ Too late to apologize to the young man, she realized with pain, that it was her who had been insolent, uneducated and a thief, and not him

MIKE
How proud I am of my husband. Mike is a very busy man. His day wake up at 730am go to school out at EWU, go to school at SCC , come home do as much home work as he can and also take a nap and spend time with me and Emmit. Then go to work at 630 and gets off at 3am and starts all over again for six days straight then he get two or three days off. How great is he. That is why I am so proud of him.
I love the days when he comes home and picks up Emmit and says I missed you little man and takes time to just hang with his little boy. I could have not asked for a better husband and father.
