i never served jury duty & never will. here are some reasons not to serve: hardship case or just show up & say you don't want to serve jury duty, a lawyer isn't going to get involved with it or find someone you know in power. i took care of the elderly & handicapped for 37 years & every time i received a jury notice in the mail, i wrote a letter saying that i can not serve because i could receive a call at anytime concerning emergency. besides, they couldn't match my weekly pay.

AHA! A caregiver! In my experience He really loves it when we care for on another.
No wonder He has given you great spiritual wisdom.

I was a caregiver for my late second wife for years. All this while working a full-time job and managing and maintaining the home.

I commend and respect all those who give of themselves to care for others.

Those were the hardest years of my life but perhaps, at the same time, the most satisfying.

I have heard it say that 'what doesn't kill you can only make you stronger'. It was by the grace of God that I survived intact.

Amen to that!
God doesn't give us more than we can handle but wants us to grow stronger.
 
I was once called and tried to get out of it due to work but that was not an acceptable excuse. Actually it was a very interesting case that I would have been interested in but the court date was cancelled. The whole thing is actually ongoing and there are even videos about it online. I don't live there anymore but I have somewhat kept up with it. Was actually a case involving a policeman shooting resulting in death and a few other things.
 
Wow brother, just yesterday I had a full day of divine encounters witnessing and handing out Little Jesus figures while ministering, but the one I missed, a grandpa was unloading a van with what appeared to be daughter and 4 beautiful kids, it looked like mom was exhausted, maybe harried, of course I shared the figures and prayed a blessing over them and as always He responded with a strong move of His Spirit, in retrospect I believe i could have done more in that brief encounter, maybe paid for dinner and the other grandpa and I could occupy the kiddos while momma gets rest?
Could you kindly pray for her and her situation? He will know, He always knows.
This is a trying time and becoming more trying as the adversary knows his time is short.
Today we saw a baby being thrown to the floor in Florida, a gun man in Massachusetts, and the day isn't over.
bless you friends

Thank you so much, my friend. This morning He brought them to my remembrance and again now as you kindly posted your message.
So much intercession is needed in these last moments.
Keeping you in prayer as well, let us know if you experience Divine encounters you can share?
blessings, brother
