It really isn't all that difficult to come up with long lists of bad behavior on both sides:)
But, that is the point that I took from Fischer's writing. We'd all be a lot better off if we took a good hard look in the mirror and fixed the stuff that we (or our side) could improve upon and less time with a magnifying glass on others:)
Personally, I'm quite fond of my" magnifying glass" which I find much more enjoyable to use than the "mirror":) But God calls us to hoist that log-viewing mirror around (and ditch the speck-finding magnifying glass) for a good reason. When we are focused on the magnifying glass, we lose sight of what we are supposed to be doing in the first place.
Well, at least I do:)

Food fight
My kids fought over dinner tonight. I don't mean they fought with each other. I mean they argued over who would get to finish the main meal.
You don't understand.
This. Does. Not. Happen.
I **really** did not feel like making dinner tonight. This eight o'clock meal time is difficult to generate enthusiasm for. I sat and stared at the computer until it was almost too late to put something together. I had a plan - I always have a plan:) It was going to be Beef and Noodles. Well, can't blame the kids. **I'm** sick of my food. Part of my doldrums stemmed from the unappetizing nature of the dinner plan.
So,I took the round steak and sliced it super thin. Then, I took some potatoes and sliced them paper thin, too. It really didn't take very long. I simply pan fried both entities in tons of yummy olive oil and spared no salt. After both were cooked, I combined for a hash-y looking mess.
That they devoured.
It really was pretty good.
Next time, I think I'll plan ahead and trim the meat and take it to Meijer for thin slicing. I'll also use my food processor to get the potatoes thin. The cheese grater makes me nervous:)
