Jury Duty

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.
