Everyone gets to where they are going in their own perfect time and own perfect way.

I agree with the Colonel. Focus on yourself. Leave others to take notice of your example if they desire.
"There are none so righteous as the newly converted . ."
I agree! Well said, ((((((Erin))))) =hugs
When I first learned to hold boundaries, I'd scoff at others who were boundariless. But being self-righteous is a boundary failure in itself . . As long as you're aware of your thoughts, the "newness" of being converted will wear off.
Enjoy yourself,
