Yup, I was called up and selected. Started immediately. Supposed to last 3 days but after the first day the defendant drove way up to Marquette and hung himself. We waited until 1pm today when the judge called us in to say the case is concluded.Originally Posted by FireBrand
Called in for jury selection. Out of 3 times I haven't had to take a seat. The defense will dismiss me because I pastor and do work for the court. We'll see if I make it.
Well that's one creative way to not have to sit through the trial.

Look, as it were, through a telescope that will bring it up near to you; look into hell, and hear them groan; then turn the glass upwards and look at heaven, and see the saints there, in their white robes, with their harps in their hands, and hear them sing the song of redeeming love; and ask yourself--Is it possible, that I should prevail with God to elevate the sinner there? Do this, and if you are not a wicked man, and a stranger to God, you will soon have as much of the spirit of prayer as your body can sustain. -Charles Finney 'The Spirit of Prayer' from 'Lectures On Revivals of Religion'

We went home last night after the first day and told my wife I had a bad feeling about the guy that something was going to happen. Then returning early this morning we sat in our private jurors room waiting a good 90min with our bailiff giving us updates and finally he calls us in. We were seated and I saw the empty defendant seat was vacant. The Judge told us to go home for a long lunch break, return at 1. As we walked out I told another juror that this will not have a good outcome. The 1/2hr drive home I prayed in tongues knowing the man was dead. You could not convince me otherwise. The word of the Lord is sure. When I got home I flat out said "he committed suicide" and upon returning to the juror box the Judge gave us the news. Zero surprise. Still shaking the strangeness of it.
finishing up a good time in Charismatic Prayer chat on Facebook Messenger. Thanks Lord
