Punzi's Corner Blog: A working holiday

Monday, August 27, 2007
This day in history from:

A working holiday

But I rested for a good part of the morning.

Such a nice, cool, rainy day today. It was raining just enough to beat the heat, but not too much to cause floods.

Traffic was a breeze today because of the holiday. Went to my appointment in less than 20 minutes. But the meeting was long and I just got home today.

Oh, my weekend went well also. I immensely enjoyed the Bukas Palad album launch last Saturday night. And more than that, there's something about going back to your alma mater. It's like returning home from a long trip.

Since there was no choir service last Saturday so we could go to the concert, I had my "make-up" service on Sunday. It went reasonably well.

Anyway, there's a new workweek ahead full of opportunities. I can't wait.

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.
