Punzi's Corner Blog: As I predicted

As I predicted

My hearing was postponed... again. But I said all there is to say about that yesterday...

But got to have lunch at my aunt's house again. Her cook and companion for so many years make such simple dishes taste so good.

I will have a two-week furlough from the stuff I have been doing these past month and a half. So this will be a good time to catch up on my other clients' requirements. That includes making a presentation on available jurisprudence on the urban poor. I will not get to deliver this presentation, though because I will have a hearing again in the north at the time. I'll leave it to the capable hands of my co-workers.

I think it will be a sedate day for today. I just have to go to my consultancy and have lunch with a friend. And after that tiring day yesterday, I think it will be downhill from there. Just the work I just stated before.

Got to go and finish up. 'Til next time.

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.
