Anger effaced, toe healed

John Kohler

One night about a year and a half ago, a fellow across the street decided to practice his trumpet-playing in the lovely night air of his front porch. Only problem was, he wasn’t very good, it was around midnight and midweek, and my wife and I were trying to sleep. 

After about five minutes of this, I went out on the porch in my pajamas and had some words with him. I wasn’t in the best of moods and no doubt wasn’t as Christian as I would have liked to have been. This happened twice, and as I was coming in the second time, our cat sneaked out the front door. 

We don’t usually let her go outside, so I dashed off after her in a pretty foul mood, down the porch steps, along the sidewalk and into the driveway. I believe I caught her by the tail and hauled her back in the house. But in the process, I skinned the front of one of my big toes pretty badly. At my request, my wife, a Christian Science nurse, lovingly got up and cleaned it off and bandaged it. I went into the living room to pray. By then it was throbbing in pain. I have to say it hurt like heck!
