Stop It!

This weekend was general conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  Our church leaders speak and give us council on how to improve ourselves and serve others.

My favorite talk was by Dieter F. Uchtdorf on judging others.  He simple told us to "stop it."  We do not know what others are going through and why they act, dress, (or even drive) the way they do.  In church a few weeks ago, I heard a quote that said "You can't help but love someone once you know their story."  So shouldn't we love them anyways? We don't need to know their story to know that God loves them.

The best line from this talk was a bumper sticker that Elder Uchtdorf saw that read, "Don't judge me because I sin differently that you."  What an awesome statement! I am definitely not perfect, so what gives me the right to expect everyone else to be, or to judge them if they're not.

Here is the video if you'd like to watch the entire talk. It's a great one!
