Clarry's debut

I'm happy to announce that Clarry made his debut at last night's mass.

I felt ready to play her with the choir. Two songs only, though ("Glory and Praise to Our God," which, providentially, is also the first song I played when I got back to my present choir, and "Glory to God"), because I just wanted to get my feet wet using Clarry.

It went quite well with only a few runaway notes. It was a nice start. And since the songs for this afternoon's mass are the same, I played Clarry again today with comparable results.

Anyway, there's no cable TV right now so I just made do with watching DVDs.

Again, that girl contacted to a few days back to ask if she could visit her kids. Of course, I did not object and it was supposed to happen this afternoon.

Surprisingly (or not), it was again a no-show.

But then again, I took the prudent move and not reveal the visit to the kids until she was actually here. It was a good move. At least they did not end up waiting for nothing this time.

Here's to a good week ahead. And I know that I know that I know what I have wished for is on its way. And for that, I am grateful, even for what I have right now.

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.
