He's a person too...
A little while back I was talking to my folks about what's what and who's who. Small town catch-up, you know. We got on the subject of someone and I made a comment or two that was out of line. (Don't worry, you don't know this person nor would they ever see this.) I said something about how great it was that anyone would be willing to help Mr. Uffda (names have been changed to protect the innocent). My mom's response has been pinging around in my head ever since: "Well, he's a person, too." Ugh, yes, he is. He IS a person, too. God made him. God loves him. He feels, hurts, thinks, knows. When did I forget that? Since when is it ok for me to have a heyday at someone else's expense and just call it "speaking the truth"? Is it really my place to "say what everyone is thinking" or "call a spade a spade"? What about the fact that he's a person, too? I know I'm not the only one who has forgotten...
