Down: The Unexpected Blessings of Crawling Around | Crossmap Blogs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I relish the floor. I sit on it, lay on it, read on it, eat on it, and crawl to the loo in the middle of the night on it. Because “non-weight bearing” means ambulating on one foot, and that means it’s quite easy to fall. But I can’t trip crawling on the ground. That line comes to mind often these days and usually when I’m crawling. It’s from a poem written by John Bunyan, in The Pilgrim’s Progress. Here is the full stanza, I know John Bunyan wasn’t being literal. Get “down” was not his suggestio
“A Refusal to Panic”: Faith in the Face of Surgery #3 | Crossmap Blogs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Faith is a refusal to panic,” Martyn Lloyd-Jones said. It’s a refusal to be controlled by circumstances and, as the poet Robert Browning wrote, it is “unbelief kept quiet.” In other words, faith brings peace when we apply our faith because we know King Jesus is with us. Even when, and especially when, he is sound asleep in the stern of our storm-tossed boat. The image of the sleeping Jesus has steadied me more than any other in the last five months of stormy seas. The image comes from the true
I Asked, and God Gave Me a Sign | Crossmap Blogs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It started when I read the label, sitting with my foot propped beside me, at the kitchen table. I realized I’d been taking it all wrong—the strong antibiotic to kill the infection in my re-repaired Achilles tendon. I took a pill each morning with yogurt, alone. “Do not take with milk or yogurt, alone” I now read, one week into a two-week-prescription. Soon, my wound care doctor would tell me that the wound closing over my tendon would be, I quote, “like grass growing on a rock.” This, in turn, m
When Sympathy Saps: How Not to Strengthen a Suffering Friend | Crossmap Blogs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“I just don’t even know what to say. My heart hurts for you!” That from a friend, after she read my last update. But then she texted again, “Question: When I say how I hurt for you, do you feel it weakens you in your battle? I only ask because I don’t want to do that.” I’ll share my answer, although you can probably guess. But you might be surprised to hear how I got there. Before I trace that, you need to know that sympathy doesn’t always come naturally to me. Sometimes I have to coax sympathy.
Out of the Frying Pan: My Joy Fight Heats Up | Crossmap Blogs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
First, thank you to every one of you who has cared for me these past few months. You have been God’s hand. In other words, you are the toast. Second, many of you have asked for updates on my Achilles injury. This is that. Third, “Out of the Frying-Pan into the Fire” is the sixth chapter of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. Bilbo and the dwarves escape the goblins, only to find themselves treed by wolves. Little did I know on that March day on sunny Sanibel that my little pickleball lunge would land m
