A thought crossed my mind as I rolled my eyes silently: 
“Will she ever realize no one wants to hear her self-righteous opinions?” 
And in that moment, a vision flashed of 
Jesus 
climbing up on the cross 
just for her 
as if she were the only person in all the world!  
Such a blind fool I’ve been 
in all my judgments of the other.
