My Friends in Christ,


Thursday morning, I had the stitches taken out of my ankle. It took about two minutes. Then, I had to return that afternoon. My surgeon re-did the cast because the angle was incorrect the first time.

The foot was simply set a few degrees off, and a few degrees is enough. Left alone, a small error in how something heals, becomes the shape it keeps.

The old word for this is repentance. We tend to hear it as guilt, but the Greek metanoia means a turning, or a change of direction. Sometimes “straightening” means taking apart something that already looks finished and starting again.

Seeing that the angle was off was simply the first step toward getting it right. The wound is closed now, and it is closing in the right direction.

Thanks be to God!

 

In Christ’s Peace,

Christine
