One morning, the following prayer greeted me at my fax machine:
“Dear God,

I haven’t gossiped.
I haven’t lost my temper.
I haven’t been greedy, grumpy, unpleasant,
selfish or overindulgent.
I’ve been very thankful for that.
But in a few minutes,
I’m going to get out of bed;
And from then on,
I’m probably going to need
a lot more help. [...]
