When I
opened my email this morning, I found this story in my inbox. Of course, the

One day, I was giving a retreat to a bunch of bigwig executives.
As a whole, the
group was very happy to be there.
Except for one
guy—one of the Vice Presidents—at the back of the room.
If horses suffered from menopause
that was what he looked like: He snorted around, kicked his hoofs about,
creating dust clouds everywhere. While all were listening to my

Like
Bo, I do the same sometimes. I'm sure people do the same to me at times.
I think it's normal to all human being to play the "judge" role. But
it is not human to play the role every day of your life.
This
verse from the Bible reminds me how to behave if there will be a tendency for
me to judge other people.
"Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your
standard of measure, it will be measured to you" --Mathew 7:1
Do you remember the
story of Susan Boyle? In case, you don't know, watch her audition in British
Got Talent.
Next
time you feel judging others, don't forget to wear their shoes first.
