Punzi's Corner Blog: Soaked

This day in history from:

Soaked

The soaked streets of the city forced me to work from the house instead of wasting my time through traffic and floods. Good thing my hearing was just nearby.

But this does not mean I did go to work. As a matter of fact, I got a lot of things done. And through the wonders of the internet, I even got these to the office.

I even got to be school bus driver and picked up Bea from school personally.

There are still a lot of major things pending that I have to attend to. But I'll work from here first.

And we have a lot of things to day, as our lawyers meeting will be today instead of tomorrow. My partners and I are off to the City of Pines tomorrow for a planning session. I thought we might postpone it because of the inclement weather. But it's improving today and so are our chances of getting away for a little while to plan the firm's future.

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.
