Punzi's Corner Blog: Politically Incorrect

This day in history from:

Politically Incorrect

I made a small innocent remark in Twitterland... and so I thought.

But I got my foot stuck in my mouth. So I took it back, withdrew the statement, for being politically incorrect.

Anyway, that's that. May blog about my thoughts about that later. But I have to choose my words carefully.

Did some documents that were due today. Took me all morning until the middle of the afternoon.

Then it's off to the office for our weekly lawyers meeting, with the new lawyer we just hired.

My thoughts about that... never. I'll keep that one to myself.

I then took the second LCD monitor I use the office home because I'm doing something over the weekend that needed two monitors.

I may even like it so much that I'll get a second monitor for the house. If the price is right. So I'd better check the internet for prices.

Oh, at least I have my chamber session tomorrow, making me miss my choir practice at the EDSA Shrine. I'll rejoin them the week after, as we will have no chamber session for more than a month. Our maestro is due for a month-long stay in Hong Kong.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to my weekend. And I hope you are too.

Have a nice 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.
