Developments

I'm developing a cough, that's the development. I'm also feeling tired and my body is aching. Hope it's not the flu...

My high school classmates are set to meet again this weekend for brainstorming on how to raise funds for my best friend's medical condition. Hope I have the strength to attend. It appears he will be needing by pass surgery but still want an opinion (3rd or 4th) on that. I know bypass surgery should be the last resort and these things come with a ten-year warranty. I just hope having it at his age (he's about a year older) will be an exemption.

Also, things are still not dying down over both my government consultancy and my now-controversial client. There is still a lot to do over these two fronts.

Add to that a hearing in Antipolo on Monday (to which I wake us especially early in the morning and takes out more than half my day...), I should be resting now instead of blogging about it. Thank God for the holiday on Tuesday (more accurately, thank Allah...)

But why am I still in front of my computer? Habit, I guess.

Have a good weekend. I hope to come up with another installment on my law school days if I have the time...

Disaster relief, sustainable development & community service

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.
