Heading for another busy month

My two busiest clients will again be busy this coming month. One is headed for the courts, the other headed again to where it was last month.

Fortunately, these things do not go unrewarded. After my long meeting yesterday, I was able to get that soprano saxophone I wanted but could not get last month because there were no stocks. I just chanced upon this when I was buying my dad his birthday gift (of a decent instrument cable for his guitar, costing ten times the trash cables he was enduring but was also ten times better).

From trying it out last night, it's going to be my favorite sax. It's way lighter and easier to set up. Plus, it's a B-flat instrument, unlike my alto sax which is E-flat. It's already in tune with the trumpets in my brass group and it's going to be easier to transpose to the key of C. Of course, the alto has its own merits. And there's still my flute playing where I'm still devoted to.

But it's harder to play. So I'm going to have to practice. But that will all depend again on the time I will have this month, remember?

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.
