Punzi's Corner Blog: Bothered but Resting

Bothered but Resting

I'm catching a little bit of a break but I still have a lot of work to do today.

Just two things bothering me:

1. This news item about a Muslim lawmaker hitting a waitress. Why can't we all get along? Granted the lawmaker is going to "hell" because of that, would hitting or killing a person who did not know how serious that offense was do make that lawmaker's situation any better? Wars start because of this thinking, for the sake of religion.

Tolerance is the key and those who demand tolerance, understanding or respect should likewise be ready to give the same to others.

Just follow the Golden Rule, I always say. No, not the one that says "He who has gold, rules!"

I'm sorry this is just the way I feel. Don't kill me for that. This is, the last time I checked, a free country.

2. I'm still tired and I still have a lot of things to do. Will I ever get around to finish them?

A good day to everyone (I hope).

1 Objection(s):

At 7:14 AM, Anonymous said...: Amen to that, Atty.! When we were watching the news, my grandfather pointed out that another Muslim Congressman also ate the same pancit and said that, unlike his "esteemed" colleague, he didn't give it much of a damn.

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.
