  • We all seem to be judge, jury, and executioners.

    Posted October 31, 2011 by Nicole DeRobbio

    I seem to be a bit stuck on the topic of judging others and forgiveness.  It seems we have all become judge, jury, and executioner when it comes to how we treat each other.  The gospel of John brings a story to mind.  The story of how the Pharisees, in an attempt to discredit Jesus, b...
