court field trip

I helped with a field trip to the UVa Law School today where students were jurors in "trials." It was interesting to discuss with them how their decisions were as much about the lawyers presentation as it was with the facts themselves. This raises one concern and one relief. The concern is for those people who go to court with an unskilled attorney. I am relieved that God is, as Romans tells us, a just judge. He sees the facts of who we are and what we do objectively. He deals only in the facts. He knows I am depending solely on the work of Jesus.
