Devotion of the Day

  Freedom from clumsiness! The cream at the top of the bottle.  White lace dresses.  Ideal conditions.  The occasional luxury.  Special places your grandfather took you.   Freedom from strained silence.  Friends with whom you can laugh about your goof ups! Easter cards.  Brightly coloured parachute nylon.  Landing gear.  Jesus Christ, the Son of God.  The innocence of children.  Freedom from boom boxes outside your apartment.  Computer programs that run.  Correcting typewriting ribbons.  Watchdogs that are.  Children who do not whine.  Laughing so hard you can barely stand up.  A second wind.
