    by Carol McClain   @carol_mcclain Who judges? Not me!

  • Does Someone Drive You Nuts?
    Posted on Monday, August 3rd, 2015 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: disdain, judgment, looking for the good in others

    This is what we’d like to do to our Sophias. Have you ever had to deal with a self-righteous, know-it-all, hypochondriac? In short, do people sometimes drive you nuts? Why can’t people be more like us? I know this will come as a shock to those who know me in real time–but sometimes people drive …[ read more ]

  • Another Side to Disdain
    Posted on Sunday, June 26th, 2011 | Filed under Uncategorized | Tagged: focusing on the good, goodness, judgment

         I know this will come as a shock to those who know me in real time–but sometimes people drive me bonkers.

Their ancestors had been abused  or their parents had been reprobates. Their pasts have dictated their future. They are innocent. As a Christian, I'm sad to say, I used to think "poppycock to that." They had resources, teaching, help. They could do this themselves. Look at me. I grew up in a home of alcoholics, in poverty, and with many poor examples to model my life on.
