Storm Blogging

So now we're in a middle of a storm. The winds have picked up considerably and it's pouring rain from where I am.

We prepared last night by boarding up the potential spots where the wind will affect the house. Unfortunately, we did not stock up on food. I was supposed to do the groceries today, but apparently, I cannot do that now.

This storm has been brewing and wreaking havoc in our country the entire week.

And where are our government officials? They all went to the United States, ostensibly to work. But actually, they will all be in Las Vegas next Sunday for the big fight. Must have placed heavy bets there because apparently, that fight is more important to them than their constituents.

Ah yes... only in this country...

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.
