Welcome back to Part 2 with Dr. Jeff Wright. 1 Samuel 8 through 16.

You'll both recognize this from President Uckdorf.

He says, we simply have to stop judging others and replace judgmental thoughts and feelings with a heart full of love for God and his children.

God is our father. We are his children. We are all brothers and sisters.

I don't know exactly how to

articulate this point of not judging others with sufficient eloquence, passion, and persuasion to make it

stick. I can quote scripture. I can try to expound doctrine. And I will even quote a bumper sticker

I recently saw. It was attached to the back of a car whose driver appeared to be a little

rough around the edges, but the words on the sticker taught an insightful lesson. It read,

don't judge me because I sin differently than you. Jeff, I think that's what you're talking about.

The Spirit of God came upon him. That's great. And the child does it best, honestly. I remember one Christmas Eve, my son Mason, he's on a mission now. My son Mason, we were just taking the train. We went up to see the lights, I think, in Salt Lake, and we were going to bring him back down. We're going to take the train back here to Utah County. And as we're waiting for the train, there's this gruff-looking guy over there by himself.

It's late on Christmas Eve. And of course, I thought, I don't know what's going on over there.

I was chatting with my wife and she pointed. She said, look, and there's my four-year-old boy walking

over. Hi. He says, hi, bud. He says,

it's Christmas. I know. He said, what do you want for Christmas? You know, I walked over,

Mace, Mason, and he said, no, no, it's nice to have him to have someone to talk to. I love that your

son did that same thing. He didn't say anything wrong. My wife's grandmother, unbelievable lady,

Virginia, she joined the church later in life. I think she was in her 80s. She was baptized. When she was

baptized, she moved from Toronto to Salt Lake, her and her husband, who also joined the church.

They bought an apartment across the street from the temple, Salt Lake Temple.

We'd go up and visit her quite often, and every time we'd visit her, she'd like to go walk the temple grounds.

We'd go down.
