First Political Rant for 2006

Reading all the comments and words of encouragement from you, plus browsing and commenting on the BSB Clubhouse and other blogs cheered me enough to make my first political rant for 2006.

Remember this news item link and remember it well. Let me quote a few words:

"Not only the peso but the whole economy is off to a flying start at the back of growing domestic and international confidence. The runway is clear and the takeoff is at hand," the Secretary exclaimed.

I will get back at this statement a month from now when the same person would be saying:

"The economy is doing bad so we need to increase EVAT to 12%," the same Secretary slurred.

Oh, brother! I believe I already have my candidate for eviction...

Stick around. I may even do a blog-lecture tomorrow...

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.
