• Judging your neighbor
• • "There are some Christians that I don't necessarily like . . . but God says you have to love 'em."
  • The importance of attitude -- in the back of his binder -- Chuck Swindoll's word on Attitude
  • • "The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company ... a church ... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude ... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you ... we are in charge of our Attitudes."
• Philippians 2:3-
• • • "Do nothing from selfishness or conceit . . ."
• God can use the irritants of life to bring out issues that we need to work on . . . "The Lady in the Black Lexus".  https://joshuarogers.com/2016/05/18/thank-god-for-that-awful-lady-in-the-lexus/
• • v12:  "But who are you to judge your neighbor?"
• V. 13 and following
• • • There is nothing wrong with being responsible. But, we need to know that we are not in control of our lives.
    • See Luke 12:13-22
• "My Way" is bad theology . . .

• • And now, the end is near
    And so I face the final curtain
    My friend, I'll say it clear
    I'll state my case, of which I'm certain

    I've lived a life that's full
    I've traveled each and every highway
    But more, much more than this
    I did it my way

    Regrets, I've had a few
    But then again, too few to mention
    I did what I had to do
    And saw it through without exemption

    I planned each charted course
    Each careful step along the byway
    And more, much more than this
    I did it my way

    Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
    When I bit off more than I could chew
    But through it all, when there was doubt
    I ate it up and spit it out
    I faced it all and I stood tall
    And did it my way

    I've loved, I've laughed and cried
    I've had my fill my share of losing
    And now, as tears subside
    I find it all so amusing

    To think I did all that
    And may I say - not in a shy way
    Oh no, oh no, not me
    I did it my way

    For what is a man, what has he got
    If not himself, then he has naught
    To say the things he truly feels
    And not the words of one who kneels
    The record shows I took the blows
    And did it my way

    Yes, it was my way
