Ten year old Michael Walker quietly knocked on the wooden door.
" Come in".
He opened the creaky door and walked into a dimly lit office.
" Hi Mikey" his father said as he put down the pen he was using. He shuffled his reports.
His son slowly walked toward his desk. " Ouch!" he said as he bumped into the empty chair near his desk. " Dad, it's really dark in here".
" I know" he replied as his son sat down in the empty chair. " I called the light bulb company and they are sending out their best person".
" Dad, can we sponsor a child from Haiti again this year?".
" I don't know Mikey, money's tight right now". He saw the disappointment look on his son's face. " We''ll see".
" Ok" was his reply as he stood up to leave.
" Before you go I have a favor to ask".
" What's that Dad?".
" This is a new brand of chip that we are coming out with" he said with a grin as he handed his son a bag. " I would like your honest opinion".
Michael opened the bag and ate one. A grimace came over him. " Dad, they taste terrible". " What are they?".
" Saltless potato chips".





Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric.
