Have you ever been in a claustrophobic CT "tube" where there's about two inches between the tip of you nose and the top of the chamber? Personally, I've been in more than once. It's not fun. But that machine sure does produce clear pictures! I was having some strange heart problems a while back and they took a 64 slice picture of my heart. Talk about detail! It turned out that I had arrhythmia couplet - where my heart would skip two beats and not just one. Not really too much to worry about. Other than that they found my heart to be slightly enlarged with one of the main arteries being a bit contorted. But the doctors assured me there was nothing to worry about. The same old story: lose weight, exercise, blah, blah, blah.
Recently, I've had to take another look at my heart. Not the double skipping contorted one, but the one about which Jesus said, "Don't let your heart be troubled" John 14:1 (NLTse) As you can see on this blog the Greek word ταρασσέσθω that is translated as "troubled" is pretty comprehensive in description. I confess I have let my καρδία be ταρασσέσθω (my heart be agitated). But just recently I started making regular appointments to go see Dr. Jesus. From my very first appointment to my most recent one, I've been shown more and more of what's going on in my heart.
So this blog begins with getting my heart checked - particularly in the area of being "troubled" or "agitated". You are welcome to follow along with me and share your own results from your own check-ups as well.
Coming up in the next blog: Why I chose to go see Dr. Jesus
