Punzi's Corner Blog: Well, what do you know?

Tuesday, October 16, 2007
This day in history from:

Well, what do you know?

I think this has been the longest time between blog entries (except, of course, the early days).

I'm sorry. It's just been a very busy week so far. And it will become more busy further in the week.

Also, I'm not getting too much sleep lately. Had to work early Monday morning to catch up on some due pleadings. Then I spent much of yesterday preparing for a hearing. And then today's that big hearing, where I had to go early after taking Bea to school.

The rest of the week is more of the same. But there will be a family gathering this coming and I'm so grateful it's not a funeral. Finally, our family will gather in happy circumstances. The family has been through a lot of funerals lately. This is a good change and for that we're grateful.

Anyway, I hope your week as as busy as mine because that can only mean good things coming our way.

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.
