I feel a little sorry for Mrs Stutzman  --  she let her pride and judgmentalism lead her into becoming a puppet for political interests, and she is the one who will pay the price.  She told TV reporters yesterday that having to pay her opponents'  court costs on her appeal will close her business. 

Just as well, of course, since she would have to sell flowers to anyone who can pay for them  --  not just people she approves of  --  if she did stay in business.  

And it's pride that was her downfall.  There are so many kind ways to turn away a job one doesn't want  --   overbooking, illness, vacation  --  if one doesn't feel the need to rub someone's nose in one's judgmental disapproval.  

It's funny,  my Bible is chock-full of teachings about loving kindness, not judging, and not making a big, proud display of one's piety  --  especially the Gospels.  Not Mrs Stutzman's, apparently.
