listening when someone speaks and keeping your eyes open

well... things are better. i listened to what God had to say... i know where i am wrong and am making an effort to change... but i've been thinking alot and there is alot i have to say. i and i know most everybody has fell victim to being a hypocrite in some way or another...i have the problem (maybe it's not a problem) of not saying anything about things that others are doing that bother me. some stuff i'm just a hypocrite about and others i am just stupid about. like being distracted... my big form of distraction lately has been movies and sports...other than my physical problems... and i tend to think about dumb things that others do...but mine is just as bad...i know i'm dumb. but also i've been noticing people being very judgemenal (including me sometimes, when i don't correct myself right away). doesn't anyone remember that when you judge others you also condenm yourself...have we forgot that were all equal under God?...do we really think our preference in sin matters?...do we think that we've learned something that others don't know?...ohh..also the art and music tangent i went off on(refer to last blog), well... lets stop labeling each other and try to come together more. any gift we have is God given and He lets us speak our minds for or against Him... is God just another label for us?... i hope not... we should embrace our differences as the art and poems God made us. i wish i could have a relationship with everyone in the church because we all have the most important thing in common....yes....JESUS!!!....well i guess this is enough for now...but i'll be back.... stick love on your heart instead of a label..... glory to God and bless you all

In reference to the title of your last post, that is something I have trouble with - I get going too dang fast and don't want to stop to take time to really listen, and come off like I don't care...Cool Title.
Stay real and keep your eyes on the Lord and I think much of what you are speaking about will be taken care of.

I just got home from Wednesday night service and it was interesting to read your post in light of what we just learned. :) God loves you! Isn't it neat when He deals with exactly what we are struggling with? It's almost like he is a personal God... hmmm...
