Kerry Powell, one of our custodians, did jury duty this week. Like many Christians, he was a bit reticent about sitting in judgment of others, but chose to do his civic duty. I'm proud of him.
Dee Wampler, a defense attorney, thanked me years ago for showing up for jury duty. He told me the right to a trial by a jury was the best protection of our liberties. He said even cases which never get to a jury are affected by the safeguard that a jury might be called.
When you are asked to serve on a jury, do so. Our liberties depend on it. Way to go, Kerry.
