I would love to be able to say that I have learned so much from the scriptures and gained insight into how to become a better disciple this week. I can't. What I  have learned is to be careful what you wish for.
For years I have wanted to serve on a jury. This past week I got my wish. I now wish I  had used any excuse to get out of it.
I was put on a jury to decide if a man who had been convicted of violent sexual behavior had a behavior abnormality. I listened to two days of expert testimony of the two acts this man committed over 25 years ago and if he understood what he did and would not repeat it. It was not a pleasant experience. It had to be an unanimous verdict.
After the trial where we decided that yes he did have a behavior abnormality, we found out he was due to be released and would now go to a residential treatment facility.
I know that a lot of people would say that I missed a chance to read the scriptures and deal with it in a way that I would be able to gain spiritual support. I am sorry all I wanted to do was come home hug my husband and not think about anything.
So I apologize that I don't have any great insights to share.
