Today my thumbnail is closer to coming off. It's going to happen on its own though. I've never lost a thumbnail before and I'm not in a hurry now.
About a month ago, maybe longer, I hit my thumb with a sledge hammer. I didn't try to. I didn't intend to. In fact it was probably the last thing I wanted to do. And yet, that's exactly what I did. I had been working on our new flower garden, replacing and expanding some stone edging. That's what the sledge hammer was for - breaking longer lengths of 4"x4" sandstone into shorter lengths to fit the curved edging I was creating. When finished, I decided I needed to reinforce a couple of cement blocks with some stategically placed re-rod. I was pounding in the third one when it happened. Honest, I was being careful, really - well, maybe I was distracted. Anyway, I'll leave the story there.
Where I'm going with this though is like what Paul says in Romans 7:15-25a, we try and still we fail. Thank God for Jesus Christ. I'm still working though on the part about something inside me makes me do it - I don't think 'deep down' I wanted to hit my thumb, but maybe so.
