One attractive computer function is the delete button.
It is freeing to have the ability to delete what does not suit us.
We might delete te t as we edit a comment
or delete information that is no longer necessary,
or delete whole do cum ents that may contain personal thoughts and feelings that we do not want shared.

Once we click the delete button, it is as if a total erasure has occurred,
and we have something clean and new before us.
If only we could push a delete button on all the less than beautiful parts of our lives
in the same way that we do on the computer.
If all the painful memories, the hurtful remarks, the blatant betrayals,
the sins of omission and commission, the lack of thoughtfulness and care,

if all of these could simply be erased, leaving no trace behind them,
our lives would be dappled with the dew of delight.

God did not wait for computers to make use of the concept of deletion.
Whenever we recognize the reality of our own frailness and failings, and we pray to heaven to forgive,
God pushes the holy delete button, and our failures and sins are blotted out
