And if thy foot offendeth thee....
CUT IT OFF!
My foot has been offending me lately. About a month ago, when we were all at the beach, it smashed itself on a rock while trying to find it's way in the dark. Result: bit fat purple toe for the next 2 weeks. Last week, it lost its balance on a little tiny stick while it was taking a walk on a beautiful path in the Sequoia (are all my vowels there?) Forest, and it threw me on the ground. Result: big, fat, purple, green, and yellow foot that won't fit in a shoe.
So, as I sat on the edge of my bed comtemplating this Scripture, I grabbed a pair of scissors and was just about to start hacking away. Then I remembered Martha and Kristen last night. Hmmmmm. Maybe a little lotion. Yeah. That's better. Maye a little polish. Waaaalllllllaaaaaah! (Voila', for you french guys) No more offense! I love my foot. Even my baby toe.
I think what the Bible was actually saying in a symbolic sort of way is, "If thy foot offendeth the, give it a pedi."
There's an important lesson there! He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

We nurses like to say "If thy foot offendth thee, Rest it, Ice it, Compress it, and Elevate it". Got it? :-)
