By now I bet you've seen Susan Boyle's performance on Britans Got Talent last Saturday evening.
The judges, the audience, everyone was literally blown away by this Scottish woman's vocal ability.
Why?
Everyone pre-judged her based on her appearance. No one expected anything from her. Everyone dismissed her with laughs and cat-calls.
We do it all the time, don't we?
We do it on the basis of class, race, looks, body size. . .the list goes on and on.
Shame on us all for not assuming the very best of each other and everyone we meet.
Thanks, Susan Boyle. We all needed what you delivered. Forgive us.
Forgive us, Lord for not believing in those things you've placed in us all.
Watch Susan again right here.

Very true, Larry. We judge so much about people from their initial appearance, and we are so often wrong. All apart of the "judge not, lest you be judged" principle - so hard for us to actually do!
