Hopefully a good year

With prospects looking pretty rosy at the beginning of the year, I'm beginning to believe that this has to be my year. Of course, us bottom-dwellers have no other way to go but up... unless we stay down.

I was born in the year of the dog, according to the Chinese zodiac. So, all indications seem to point out this has to be my year.

But then again, I also have a feeling that the only ones that have all the luck from this Chinese New Year Feng Sui thingies are the Chinese people who sell them (because we're all suckers for it).

Anyway, American Idol is always a good thing to look forward to in any case.

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.
