Tape Up

I’ve spared some of you the ongoing drama of my Spock-foot. The technical medical term is a hammertoe with separation, but Spock-foot sounds cooler, doesn’t it?

So every day, I tape my little toes together (like some sort of undercover ballerina) and put on my (rather comfy) orthopedic shoes in the hope of mending the ways of my wayward toes.

Giggled when I stumbled on this photo of my foot on the beaches of Hammamet, Tunisia…pre-Spock-foot! Hopefully the tape will work and my foot will look this again soon.


I’ve declared 2010 'The Year of Taping Up.' And not just my little hammertoe. Taping up at the office. Taping up in my day-to-day life. I might be mixing metaphors here, but mostly I want to tape up spiritually. Taping up in the peace of the Spirit, taping up in the blood of Christ, taping up in the love of the Father to journey on—to journey deeper and wider—with the Lord to breathe his hope and love and peace and truth into our lives and into our world that so needs it.
