It has become a bit of a tradition to play a little floor hockey after our meeting and last night was no exception. These are great times of fellowship... or at least they used to be.
I won't say who did it... but here is what my ankle looks like today.
WARNING: Some viewers may find this picture offensive.
The small white foot in the upper right corner is that of my son... who one half-second after this flash stepped on my foot.
Ouch.
kerux noemata - your source for edifying and uplifting fodder for your soul! (although, the blog is called "thoughts of the preacher" and to be quite honest I can hardly think of anything else except this bulbuous mass on the end of my leg!)
Certainly tha apostle Paul didn't have this picture in mind when he wrote:
ReplyDeleteRomans 10:15 ...as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace...
All things considered, 1 out of 2 ain't bad! ;-)
This is getting to be a bit much, I'm seeing far too much of Kerux's legs. Last year's Christmas picture of the Martins was the start of it. Lovely Susan and the begats... and then Kerux in shorts with those legs sticking out. Why?
ReplyDeleteYou could have sprained all your fingers, think how painful it would have been to keep up your blog then. Be thankful it was only your ankle!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, Martin screamed like a girl. :)
ReplyDeleteI trust you are able to preach on one leg brother if need be..Ill be praying for the swelling to go down, pain to disipate etc. Im sorry I missed the momentus event...I know it wasnt Josh though :-)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
David
Brooker - To which one of the two do you refer?
ReplyDeleteOdious - With a name like that you hardly have any right to say anything about MY feet!
Derifter - 10 sprained, weiner-sized fingers? You are right. That WOULD be worse!
Ryan - Just remember that there are many things from your past that I COULD bring up...
David - Thank you for being kind... almost. Let's not talk about the Josh injury!
Ouch!!?!! That brings back memories of what I did to my ankle last year during a friendly game of volleyball... at church.
ReplyDeleteAs painful as it looks, you can take comfort that you still do not have it as bad as the gout from which Spurgeon suffered. He once said, Put your foot in a vice, and turn the screw as tight as you can — that is rheumatism; give it an extra turn, and that is rheumatic gout.

ReplyDeleteWell looking at the picture I thought it was self-evident. A preacher of the gospel you most certainly are!
Suck it up. This is misery.
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, how come in your post you never mentioned that no one else was within six feet of you when you fell all of your own accord with only your own lankiness to blame? :)
Looks like you're getting enough razzing from the home folk, that you don't need any more from a fellow pastor in western Canada, but I found it somewhat humorous and ironic that when I finished reading this post, I looked immediately below and saw another post with the title, "On Being a Man."
ReplyDeleteLOL... good show, Dan :)
ReplyDeleteOUCH! Now the West is ganging up on me!
ReplyDeleteSurely you have something to say to the pathetic Oil of Olay man, don't you Dan?
