| 0:00.0 | Hi friends, and thanks for joining us for this daily reading from the Our Daily Bread |
| 0:10.3 | Devotional. Today's reading titled The Potter's Wheel was written by Katara Patton. |
| 0:17.5 | In 1952, in an effort to prevent clumsy or careless people from breaking items in a shop, |
| 0:23.6 | a Miami Beach store owner posted a sign that read, |
| 0:27.6 | You break it, you buy it. |
