The Price of Misjudgment

“If a man does not judge himself, all things judge him, and all things become messengers of God.” – Nachman of Bratslav ”If I do not accept responsibility for the evil I do, the very earth will rise up to judge and condemn me. The stars, the trees in the wind will provide sentence…”   -Julius Lester

Acceptance

Parsonage children have their problems.   They have to live with ‘One Foot in Heaven.’ “I do not enjoy living with “One Foot in Heaven,” being God’s representative among my peers as Daddy was among us all….    That is simply how things are and to quarrel with how things are is to think you can box with God and win.”             - Julius Lester Life does not ask our permission.  It proceeds as it will.  The only thing we can control is how we respond to it.
