People are just big, fat messes, especially the ones who think they have it all together and have it all figured it. Fortunately God has as much pity on them as He does on us, and as Sis. Wanda Philips says, "We're all just a little bit pitiful." Ultimately, I will have to work out my own salvation, and so will you...and so will Daniel. The one thing that unites every last one of us is that we will personally account to God for our own selves. He won't care what we have (or had) to say about other people, assuming we would have enough pride or gall to try to point out the faults in others, while our own misery stands before God.

I'm in a hurry again. As is my way, I log out and then do a once over to make sure I didn't miss or overlook anything. I'm very bad about not being thorough when I'm in a hurry. I was in such a hurry yesterday that I totally read over one of Jeffrey's posts. Got around to that this morning. LOL!
I wanted to say that I did love this part posted above. Especially what Sis. Wanda Philips said, "We're all just a little bit pitiful." Ain't that the truth!!! LOL!!
Have a good weekend. I better get going!
