Punzi's Corner Blog: Finger Pointing

Finger Pointing

Whoever came up with the saying that an accusation may point two fingers at someone but points the rest of the three fingers back at the accuser was so on the money.

Most recent validation:

1. Two Fingers- Thai PM accuses Philippines of rigging SEA Games. Apparently, he could not beleive that such a disunited country (with even the sports program marred by politics) could even fare better than East Timor. Personally, I cannot believe it myself considering the basketball fiasco, but the Philippines is not really known for "utterly blatant hometown decisions," unlike other Asian countries where a Filipino boxer has to knock out his opponent to win the fight. Anything less will be a loss.

2. Three Fingers back- Two Thai officials sanctioned in SEA Games for "shady officiating."

So now who's cheating who?

1 Objection(s):

At 10:44 AM, Anonymous said...: Hi Atty. Now with the two Thai officials caught redhanded, we know now who the real cheaters are.
I've seen some frustrating loss in boxing before, and I thought the miscalls or uncalls were so blatant. But nobody was complaining then...

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.
