My friend the Pharisee

So after feeling calm yesterday and then like crap today-First I was really sad that someone so great doesn't want me in their life. Then I started thinking about exactly what happened and how not so great he really is to cop an attitude with me without letting me know what's going on. He discussed my failing-whatever it may have been with his friend AND he made sure I knew he did that. Then he is flat-out rude when I'm just trying to figure out what the hell just happened. He has a mean side that is ugly despite his pretty face.
The Pharisees were the religious dedicated men. They lacked compassion and charity. That scripture in 1 Corinthians 13 comes to mind. You can have all sorts of riches and blessings-intelligence even, but without charity you are as tinkling brass. Simply being kind to people may seem small and insignificant with the richness, simplicity, and simultaneous complexity of the gospel but it is actually a huge deal and what really matters.
