Punzi's Corner Blog: So you think you can juggle?

Friday, July 25, 2008
This day in history from:

So you think you can juggle?

Try juggling these:

1. Being a full-time practicing lawyer with a full day consisting of a ton of paperwork, multiple appointments, a consultancy that requires some days of your week... with all persons expecting quality work every step of the way...

2. Being an advocate that had too much on the plate today that will make one miss an important function with a party list group...

3. Being a single parent that has to find time amidst all of these to compile his son's documents and trek to his alma mater to file his son's grade school application...

4. Being a mentor in to office to guide associates so they get more experience in practice...

5. Being a partner in a law office that has to deal with administrative matters in the law office...

6. Being a father that, after coming home, helps his son with his homework because he suddenly had the "urge" to do it and putting it off would discourage rather than encourage the formation of his study habbits...

7. Being a blogger that has to get his blogging fix almost everyday...

8. Being a school bus driver who has to take his daughter to school at 6:00 a.m., his son at 9:00 a.m. and pick him up at 11:00 a.m. and wallow in paperwork in between...

If you can juggle all of these, you had the same day I had...

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.
