How Judging Others Causes YOU Pain
"To love another person is to see the face of God." -Victor Hugo, Les Miserables If you know me well, you know that Les Mis is one of my most favorite stories, so much so that we named our daughter Cosette. It's a beautiful story of redemption woven through many people's lives. How they hurt [...]
