Judgments of the Lord

When you hear the words, "Judgments of the Lord," what comes to mind? An overbearing Father? Someone uncompassionate and unmerciful? A God who doesn't understand? Psalm 19:9-11 says, "The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether. They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb." When I read this, I was struck by how negatively I view the "judgments of the Lord." The words used by the Psalmist are so endearing. Have I let the world's view of God affect my own feelings towards Him and His righteousness??

Mario: The SleepTalker

Last night as I read my Bible in bed, Mario fell asleep. When I shut off the light and snuggled up to him to go to bed myself, he said, "Surprise!" "What!?" I asked. He responded, "It's the discreet avenue for kids who do good." It took me quite some time to stop laughing. :)
