Reporting for duty....

Jury duty that is. Tuesday will be the big day. I have never been summoned before for jury duty. I am a bit nervous about it all. I actually went this past Friday to plead my case of why I shouldn't/can't do it, but after the judge finished his speech to all that were present to get out of jury duty I decided that I didn't have much of a case. I figured its better to just show up and do my part as a citizen of Stephens County instead of whining about my situation and that being what the judge remembered me by. I know it will be a good learning experience. Yes, its a bit of an inconvenience of trying to arrange sitters for the kids and then scheduling Jaycee's homeschooling at different times, but it won't last forever.

The judge shared that what they have on the calendar shouldn't take longer than 2 weeks to get through. They will divid us up into 3 groups so we won't have to report everyday for duty. Hopefully, I will get selected early, get on a case that settles out of court, and then I will be done.

So if any of you have done this I would love to hear your stories. My grandpa has shared a few of his with me. I am thankful that I won't be going through what he has gone through. He has been selected on 2 murder cases. From my knowledge we won't have any of those at this time. Which is a huge relief. Not sure how long we will wait around, but I am looking forward to maybe catching up on some reading and also memorizing scripture during this time. Like I said I have no idea what is in store, but praying that things will go well and looking forward to the experience.
