Lecture Series

We ended yesterday's lawyer's meeting with a brief lecture on government bidding, that I conducted using old materials I made four years ago.

We started this lecture series to equip our lawyers on our future projects.

As we have already discovered, our litigation cases merely serve as our bread and butter. The big bucks come from the special projects. Here's our opportunity to charge a lot due to the nature of the work. Sometimes, we can even charge hourly.

Our special projects portfolio ranges from a possible legal audit for a foreign company, a ton of government biddings and some major merger and acquisition projects, which is my partner's specialty.

So the next topic in our lecture series is just that. My partner will conduct a lecture on mergers and acquisitions. And I'm looking forward to that. I have never grown tired of learning new skills.

Anyway, we had our chamber sessions this morning, after we went to the mall for some errand.

And we're off today to attend a swimming party. Hopefully, I can still come back home in time for choir tonight.

This is one of the reasons why I'm not in iBlog 4. But there are other, more obvious reasons, as you may know. Going to a hostile place is just plain stupid (and suicide), I think.

Then, it's a rest day for the rest of the weekend, pardon the pun.

Have a great weekend everyone.

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.
