The other day I saw "Living radically for Christ" on a church sign. I think I'll try it.

Joyful vs. Judgmental
"What would it be like to rather than judging the supposed imperfection of your body, to experience the joy of being a beautiful perfect creation, made in the image of God? What would it be like, rather than judging the unhealthy grocery cart contents of the lady behind me in line at Safeway, to instead experience the joy of seeing Christ's own face in her countenance. What would it be like to, rather than judging the political or religious correctness of every person, institution, and event to instead experience the joy of God's kingdom breaking in on us all. I don't know for sure. But I'm game to try and find out. I want to choose happy. And leave being right to God and God alone."
