Luke chapter 6 "To not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned." I think we like to judge others because it makes us feel better about ourselves. if you can call out someone else for their wrong doings, it makes you feel better about your own - or forget them. The Bible mentions not judging - a lot. Maybe we should start there.

Can you do 3 - one minute planks? I used to be able to, I'm working at it.
On this day
2001 My life was pretty much all about church and my sixteen year old daughter. She was so busy with sports and church youth group she had little time for anything else. She had a great base of friends at church and school, and they had some good times - I believe they were "good" times. I was lucky because I was the Youth director and very involved with keeping all the programs we had for youth going. It was a full time job for someone who already had a full time job working and a full time job parenting. You can do what you set your mind to.
1190 - Crusaders killed 57 Jews in Bury St. Edmonds England. So wrong.
Carthage Tunisia
Constitution of state[edit]
A "suffet" (possibly two) was elected by the citizens, and held office with no military power for a one-year term. Carthaginian generals marshalled mercenary armies and were separately elected. From about 550 to 450 the Magonid family monopolized the top military position; later the Barcid family acted similarly. Eventually it came to be that, after a war, the commanding general had to testify justifying his actions before a court of 104 judges.[115]
Aristotle (384–322) discusses Carthage in his work, Politica; he begins: "The Carthaginians are also considered to have an excellent form of government." He briefly describes the city as a "mixed constitution", a political arrangement with cohabiting elements of monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy, i.e., a king (Gk: basileus), a council of elders (Gk: gerusia), and the people (Gk: demos).[116] Later Polybius of Megalopolis (c.204–122, Greek) in his Histories would describe the Roman Republic in more detail as a mixed constitution in which the Consuls were the monarchy, the Senatethe aristocracy, and the Assemblies the democracy.[117] Early politics.
Enjoy the day. Make it memorable!
