Jury duty

For the third time in my life, I was called this week for jury duty.  Five years ago I was called for 3 days, but did not serve (I was bumped off a trial by the attorney when he found out I was a pastor!).  About 15 years ago I served on grand jury for 3 or 4 months every Wed.  This was interesting, we would hear 10-15 cases a day to determine if there was evidence to go to trial.  I gained a lifetime of stories and sermon illurtations, but since it is confidential, I can't share any of them.

So guess what happened this time?  I was "on call" for 3 days, but did not even need to go to the courthouse.  I had lots of ministry work to do, so I feel like I dodged a bullet!
