pipe laying for beginners

             Using for my devotions a book of Puritan prayers I was given for Christmas, “The Valley of Vision”.  This mornings was called “Self-knowledge”, which began with these words which I have been thinking about all day. “ It is a good day to me when thou givest me a glimpse of myself”. Wondered if I would really consider that a good day from my perspective. The prayer ends with this great hope, which made me smile.  “let me not lay my pipe too short of the fountain”. Great I thought! Oh to be connected to the steady gush of his fountain!
