Something vs Someone

Our society, including myself (until lately), is riddled with so much distortion. I'm finding it hard to sift through that which I should be a part of, and that which makes me a self-righteous bastard for denying. It's a thin line to walk.

David Ritchie spoke at North, Trinity's college ministry last night, and spoke about how judgement of others is a the root of most sin. This struck me. I judge people every day, whether I would be wasting my time if I invested any in them. Where is the ministry mind-set in that? After Christ gave us an eternal amount of grace, I decide whether people are worth anything? hmmm...?
Read Genesis 3:6- The fall of man could be considered to be before she eats of the apple, she actually judges whether she wants the knowledge of good and evil without having any idea of what good and evil actually is... Interesting, I know.

I have this lump in my stomach, a lump i cannot get rid of. It sits heavy as if I've eaten some indigestible object. "Become something, not someone," it shouts up my throat and into my brain where it echoes back and forth. "I'm working on it," I respond.



God help us
