Jury Duty

Well today I go to the Conexus Arts Centre to do my Civic Duty. I have been summoned for Jury Duty. I wish that I was not summoned but now that I am I will go. (Well if I don’t go it is off to the crowbar hotel for a spell, you see not showing up is a violation of the court and you will be arrested for not going).

So the process goes like this. You show up for your summons day and then you either are selected or not selected to sit on the Jury. If you are not your are dismissed and you can go home. If you are selected then, depending on the trial, you have to stay to start proceedings if the court is that day. (The court date is usually preset).

So if I am selected and consequently selected for a jury, then I may not be able to blog. I do not know what the nature of the trial will be so therefore I could be sequestered.

So having said all that, I want to leave you with something that you may find interesting. The preacher at church yesterday was talking about things in life that may trip you up or give you cause to be grieved. Well in retrospect I was thinking of all the things that get in your way as you try to live your life for Christ. You try and try, and ultimately fail as it is you trying and not giving it up to Jesus. Jesus I give you all my issues.

Hebrews 10:23-25(NIV)
Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.

We have an opportunity to affirm what God has done for us. We can trust him to keep His promise. As we do this we will be able to help each other in what we do and say, and will be less likely to hold a grudge or have ill intent towards one another.

So today will be a challenge, if I am selected for Jury Duty, then I will do my best. I will keep Jesus the centre.

God Bless you today as you Keep Jesus the centre of your day.
