Flawed, fallen and broken. These words can describe us all at some time or another in our lives. It is universal. Who will be the first one to argue with "...No one is perfect."? Hey, I'm not even sure I punctuated that sentence correctly. Feel free to let me know. Jesus said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Unfortunately, we have been casting away ever since. I think we cast stones at ourselves. We see things in others we don't like in ourselves. For example, I don't like stubborn people, those not open to new ideas or experiences. The truth of the matter is I'm happy right where I am. I like my close circle of friends who look and think like I do. I'm projecting my own flaws and insecurities on to others. When I find myself being judgmental, I try to catch it and look inward, Usually, it is something I'm not comfortable with within. Try that sometime and see what you come up with.
