bluegargantuaHey,
I got a package from my mom with smaller packages inside here are the rules.
Today's package is a bit oddly-shaped...
The Item:
Ah, it's a two-in-one. The book you see above. It's a series of devotionals for every day of the year. Each day gets a pair of facing pages. The left-hand page is the morning devotional and the right-hand page is the evening devotional.
Not pictured -- the apple which didn't quite make it through the post. My mom -- sending highly fragile/perishable food through the mail for over 20 years!
Let's see what the message is:
The Message:
"A page a day will keep the devil away!
An apple a day will keep the doctor away!"
What keeps my doctor away is my inability to pay. Although I suppose American Health Care is a tool of the devil so -- avoid doctors?
Not much to say about this one, other than when I was a kid, we'd get these booklets in our church mailbox once a month called "My Devotions" -- devotions aimed at kids. I suppose the idea was to read one a day like you do, but all I knew is that sitting through the sermon just got a lot less tedious.

Duly noted. :)
"I am starting to sense a theme here and correct me if I'm wrong but is there a strong disparity between your current belief system and the one you were raised into?"
You are quite perspicacious. Although it's not so much a question of disparity as interpretation and implementation -- Jesus was something of a liberal hippie dude. And then there's the whole "god" question.
