"Number Our Days"


       Parts of my medicine are more easily kept track of today than heretofore.  I have some asthma inhalers.  No more dividing inhalations per day into total number of puffs in inhaler to determine what day the medicine will run out, then marking that day in my engagement calendar!

       No, sir.  Now I have a number-counter.  Press, receive meds, and watch the number on the counter reduce by one!  Get to zero, and you need a new inhaler.  No more figuring.

       "Number Our Days" can now take its original referent and profound meaning:

                  Teach us to number our days aright,
                  that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

                            Psalm 90, Verse 12
