Jury Duty

I spent the entire day at the LA courthouse with maybe 200 others from every tribe and tongue waiting to be called to serve on a jury. Some read books, magazines, or newspapers, others tapped on their laptops, paced up the corridor, slept out on the benches, or kept track of their 'soaps'. I spent the day re-reading the 'galleys' the near final copies of our Emerging Churches book. I was quite unsociable and fairly zombie-like -- the coffee did nothing...I did not feel like I 'woke up' until 1 or 2 -- which is a little late even for me...

The day ended with a cheer when we realized we did not have to 'serve' for at least another year -- such a good feeling to hear my name as one of the many in the long list of names called out... that we avoided the call for the 15 and 30 day trials, and that we were indeed free...
