Jury Duty next month - Prayer Request

I have jury duty next month and havew a wierd prayer request, not that I get out of it, but that I get in on it.

I have been called 3 times in the last 10 years, and each time I call the number the night before and each time they tell me I am off the hook.

I would really like to experience the process. This time I want to get picked. How bizarre is that?

Will it conflict with work?

Will pray.

The job I was at from 1991-2001 believed in jury duty & not only would make accommodation for your job duties but would retain you on the payroll with benefits!!!

Okay - praying you're in!!!

My husband was called up on Monday - I prayed that he wasn't selected - he wasn't!

It actually could have been because it was for the sentencing phase of a young black male. My husband being a 55 year old white man, just wasn't going to work on the stereotype.

Re: Jury Duty next month - Prayer Request

If you want on the jury, just tell them you can tell if someone's guilty just by looking at them. They'll love that!

I told my husband to wear his fishing/camo shirt. They will know he's an American patriot and NOT choose him!

Re: Jury Duty next month - Prayer Request

May God grant your request.

I served on 2 cases some 20 years ago. Actually, I wouldn't mind doing it again, now that I work in the system.
