When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, ‘Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.’ Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God” (NIV). She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. “On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. There was a woman in the Bible who slumped…not because she wouldn’t stand up straight, but because she couldn’t. I have never seen him slump once since then. From that day on, my son stood straight and tall.

He saw firsthand the difference it made to stand up straight. I watched Steven’s eyes grow wide as Papa grew tall. Then he took a deep breath and extended his curved back to its fullest upright position. My 77-year-old father-in-law, who was about five-foot-ten, stood with his back against the doorframe. We were measuring and marking various family members’ heights on the dining room door frame. Then one night my father-in-law took care of it for me. I tried my best not to say, “If you don’t sit up, I’m going to buy you a back brace from Sears.”

He didn’t know what to do with all that height, so he slumped. Then I had a son who seemingly grew to six feet overnight. “If you don’t sit up,” she would say, “I’m going to buy you a back brace from Sears.” I don’t even know if Sears made back braces then, but it sounded like a pretty good threat to me. When my brother was a teenager, my mother used to threaten him when he hunched over at the dinner table.
