This day in history from:

Associate days all over again...

Figured in a breakfast meeting with a member of Congress today, the topic of which I will not elaborate due to attorney-client privilege.

Anyway, he came from private law practice before he became a congressman and he still heads a big enough law office. As such, he still behaves like a managing partner.

And dealing with him today made me feel like his associate. As in, my days as a noob lawyer came flashing before my eyes.

Fortunately, I still gathered enough experience to hold my own during the discussions. By the time we had lunch, he treated me like a colleague already, because of my acquired legal expertise in my client's field.

But I had to hurry home because I had to finalize his revisions, and of course, I had to fetch Bea from school.

So now, I'm just resting. But I will blog about some brewing trouble in my practice, a potentially troublesome client in particular.

Later, my sister will treat us to a HUGE dinner because it's their 14th (?) wedding anniversary...

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.
