It was quite an experience, at first I tried to convince others that they were wrong in their thinking and I was right. It seems all we did was go around and around. That evening the Lord brought this verse to me.

Psalms 141:3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

The next day, was an entirely different. Of course I needed to apologize to the other 11 jurors for my argumentative spirit and if I offended anyone I was sorry, that was not my intention.  My attitude changed.  Instead of my opinion I went over the judges instructions and what we were to base our decisions on.  Yes, people have different opinions, but we must go on the facts and the law.  It was an experience I will never forget and remember to seek guidance from the Lord and not others.
