Here is a fun one for you this lovely Monday morning.

Some days you are just in an “odd” mood, like goofy odd.  The other day was one of those days.  I wasn’t feeling real deep and theological during by bible study time but man, was I going to try.  I decided to do some digging into our new Psalm 3:3 sweatshirt that is coming out soon.  It’s one of my favorite anthem verses so I was excited to write the devotional for it.  It’s all about God giving David victory over his enemies and God’s protection in the midst of a dark time.

Well, read psalm 3:7 and remember my mood.

We often look and Judas and judge harshly.  I mean he is kind of the villain, but we instead need to look at Judas and make sure we check our hearts.  Do we have a heart of true devotion like Mary, not worried what others think? Or are we a Judas, with a skeptical soul and heart motivated by worldly desires.

I don’t always have complete blog posts and devotions on my writer’s fingertips but just little thoughts and notes.  For example, I love reading about Mary, as in the Mary of the Martha and Mary sisters, and the sister of Lazarus. Mary challenges me greatly because she’s often the very opposite of what tend to be.  When we read about her, she is often just taking in life around her.  She observes, listens and expresses herself deeply.  It’s as if life slows down around her and she truly feels.
