Punzi's Corner Blog: No end

No end

It's a miracle I can still blog everyday.

With my two most active clients still active, I'm having trouble squeezing in the others, even my government consultancy. I could only be there for a few hours, tops.

Yesterday, it was a congressional hearing for one of these active clients, a meeting with a friendly congressman and off again to a long meeting with the other active client.

Hopefully, all of these will simmer down a bit next week. But by then, I have a lot of neglected paperwork to do. I guess, I have to squeeze that in over the weekend, along with my aunt's big birthday bash at Saturday that will make me miss choir for sure.

Bea's not faring any better. She'll have a half day class on Saturday, too, which means I have to wake up early over the weekend also.

I hope to catch some sort of a break soon. But probably not...

Anyway, I have to go. I have a hearing to prepare for and attend this morning...then off again to a meeting that may probably take all night.

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.
