Well, I was so fortunate to be chosen to do my duty this month of October... JURY DUTY!! Yay! Actually, I've only been called in a few times, and no trials yet. They seem to settle while we wait or get rescheduled due to new evidence or various reasons. It's been more of an inconvenience making arrangements for the day for Ryan and then changing it all when I get to leave than it has been an interesting learning experience. But, the the first day as I'm taking him to someone's home...
"Mom, what's jury duty?"
Well, try to explain that in four-year-old terms. I did my best and said some things like it's where we help decide if someone(big people, usually) did somthing wrong and what their punishment should be.
"But, Mom, only God can punish big people... He's in charge." Oh, how true. Yes, we can do our best here for a better world, but God has the final say. I hope Ryan and we, too, will live each day by the True Judge's rules!

Hey!
I had Jury Duty a couple of years ago when we lived in Stearns Cty. It was very interesting. I only got as far as the jury selection when they have about 20 of us go into the courtroom and they interview what, like 15 and then narrow it down from there...I was never called into the seat, but it was interesting nevertheless. Is your "term" done yet, or do you have until the end of October?
And hey, if you need someone to watch Ryan, don't hesitate to give me a call. I'm home most of the time.
Take care!
