Still on call for jury duty!

The jury duty process isn't too bad, but its not super fun either. I reported Thursday morning. After they did roll call they selected 24 names out of a box. I was not selected. We all had to remain until the lawyers and the judge were pleased with the jury selection. I was out of the courtroom by Noon. I call in every evening to see when I am needed. As of right now I do not report until Wednesday. I hope that Wednesday will be my last day. I am thankful for the experience. As much as I would like to be done and I am also glad that I haven't actually been selected as a juror. I am thankful for the system we have that we as citizens can be a part of what is going on in our community. Its not easy by any means, but I think it gives you a better look at the world around you. For me I never read the local paper and we do not have a local news station so you don't hear all that is happening. Which in part this is all good, but I know for me it makes me think that things aren't too bad, but in reality they really are. I am probably going off from the whole jury thing with this stuff, but I am thankful for the past several weeks and what God has opened my eyes to see.
