It’s clearly spelled out in many different walks of life and I am trying my best to follow it. A sin here, a sin there with a lot of remorse and personal introspection along the way. My opinion, my thought is what is truly important. My judgement into another’s is of little use for me to reach my goal.
My goal? Self acceptance and a contrite heart.
