One of
PowerPoint's
animation
styles
is named
"Grow & Turn".
It allows
you to call attention
to
newly-appearing text
by having
the selected portion
begin
tiny and vertical,
and then
rotate to
a
horizontal position
as it
also enlarges.
The text,
then, actually appears
to both
grow and turn
as it
settles and becomes legible.
I cannot
help but think
of the
life of faith
in
relationship to this phrase.
The Greek
word that we translate
as repent literally means to turn.
Faith is
a journey on which
we are
continually learning,
forever stretching, and
constantly
recalculating (turning).
Can't you
just hear Jesus
inviting
the disciples (and us)
to so animate
our lives –
to
"Grow & Turn"?
