Free Again!
Topic : GuiltA preacher of the early 1900s said that when he was 12 years old he had killed one of the family geese by throwing a stone and hitting it squarely on the head. Figuring his parents wouldnt notice that one of the 24 birds was missing, he buried the dead fowl. But that evening his sister called him aside and said, I saw what you did. If you dont offer to do the dishes tonight, Ill tell Mother. The next morning she gave him the same warning. All that day and the next the frightened boy felt bound to do the dishes. The following morning, however, he surprised his sister by telling her it was her turn. When she quietly reminded him of what she could do, he replied, Ive already told Mother, and she has forgiven me. Now you do the dishes. Im free again!
