“There is no need to be sorry, young lady,” I said as cheerfully as I
possibly could. 

“No, sir, I'm sorry but an Apple Fritter is not a donut.” 

I can take a joke as well as anybody else. In fact, I have put forth my
share of jokes. However, an Apple Fritter is no joking matter. 

“Excuse me,” I said almost breathlessly. 

“An Apple Fritter is not a donut, so what donut would you like me to get
for you?” 

The thought began unfolding in my mind at this point that she was not
joking. She sincerely believed an Apple Fritter was not a donut. I know 
an Apple Fritter is among the Cadillac of donuts but in my mind, it is 
still a donut. 

I did not have much opportunity to set this young woman straight with
one of the great fundamentals of life. I had to take one of her “free” 
donuts along with my coffee, go to a corner and think about these 
things. What good is “free” if it is not really what you want? 

Sometimes people use the word “free” as a device to get you to a place
where they can sell you something else. 

The Bible is the only place I will accept a “free” offer. One particular
verse sets this forth quite nicely. “And ye shall know the truth, and 
the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32 KJV). 

This is often used out of context. The truth that makes us free indeed
is none other than the truth about Jesus Christ. He is the only One 
capable of delivering something absolutely free.
