Samuel's Thoughts episode 11: No more judgement!

In this strangely appropriate to Christmas Samuel's Thoughts I share a funny thing that happened on the way home before I go into the topic of to much judgement being thrown around by some of my fellow Christians and why I don't think it's very Christ like myself.
