This day in history from:

A Lucrative Profession

My father guided me towards the career path I am in now.

But sometimes, I think I made a mistake in my choice. Aside from a potential career in computers, he should have discussed with me the possibility of taking up a career in the military.

They have a lot of benefits. Aside from having the right to carry firearms, which to some people is already a benefit unto itself, the military has a lot of rest and recreational facilities.

We're talking the works! Golf courses galore. I've heard now, they even have a beach resort in Boracay.

And the retirement benefits, wow!

There's only one hitch. You have to start out as an officer so you can get to become a general and enjoy these benefits. If you start out as enlisted, you just die trying to be in a position to enjoy them.

Re your last sentence: Sad but true. :(

To be a military would be an enjoyable profession if you're single siguro. I have friends and relatives who are in the military and they are always away from home. Most often they are in remote areas- lonely, alone, and life in danger.

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.

and will conduct myself as a lawyer

So help me God.
