I used to:

• be adamantly conservative…now what used to matter to me no longer does

• be a Republican…now I won’t vote based on party

• believe in the death penalty…now I’m not so sure

• judge people who don’t go to church…now I sometimes wonder why I go

• think people at church were as sinless as they appeared…now I know better

• think grace was too easy, too lenient…now I know its transforming power

• not know a thing about real love…now I’m learning

And that’s the short list…
