A new attitude - on bended knee - a Reading of the day

Not sure how easy it will be. But I found myself getting ticked off on the way to work when I heard about an activist Judge that caved into to an ACLU request here in Illinois, and ordered on injunction on a new law. I'll not get into the hotbed about the law, but just one of the reasons the ACLU was behind stopping this law was "because the state is not in a position to enforce it".

Since when does "enforcement" or the readiness to enforce a law help to "compound the unconstitutionality" of a law. Gimme a break. But its the attitudes in my head that lead me to the Reading of the day.

Reading of the Day...
Roman 14:10-12
Why then do you judge your brother or sister?
Or you, why do you look down on your brother or sister?
For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God;
for it is written:

As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend before me,
and every tongue shall give praise to God.

So then each of us shall give an account of himself to God.
Why is this reading relevant to my activist judge story. Well I need to stop judging others and also getting worked up about it. My time on earth is wasted on that negative stuff. I have to learn to trust those folks will need to account for their actions. That Judge. That ACLU attorney. I gotta tell you. Trying to be less judgemental is not easy...

Peace
