I am one with my sisters and brothers in humanity. God forbid I contaminate my professed beliefs and harm/judge my neighbor. My Faith exhorts, "The one next to you be elevated."
Selfishness and self-centeredness runs rampant today. The EGO.

We are admonished that we know where our 'church' is, but do not know where it is not. IOW, NO JUDGING! Some 'veins' of 'Christianity' are sadly unrecognizable when it comes to putting their 'bible' into action.

There'll come a day of reckoning. There are those who don't practice or embrace organized Chistianity and bear the imprint of the Creator in them more visibly than some religious attending a church.

Forgive me. I went off on a tangent.

You are beauty...
