Aging

It is sad when I find myself or another older person spending a lot of time and energy being critical and judgmental of others. The one thing we can learn from our years is that we have a lot of faults. We have made a lot of mistakes. Instead of spending a lot of ourselves focused on the mess of others as we see it, we ought to be spending the time focused on our own faults and shortcomings. After all our time is running out!

Jesus speaks about this when he says that we should not look at the splinter in our neighbor's eye, but the beam in our own. So, who are you complaining about today?
