In conclusion this week, I had a good friend of mine remind me of an old saying that I wish we all could abide by, human nature however keeps us from doing this on a regular basis; "Don't judge a person till you walk a mile in their shoes." We all make mistakes on a regular basis, "To err is human, to forgive is devine." So easy to read these old sayings, yet so hard to live by them.
