World Gone Made
on destroying idols and having hard conversations with God and each other
It started with a grammatical error.
My wife’s friend was graciously posting an interview she had conducted with my wife and me about our recently released book on anxiety. As of late, Cassia had been writing toward self-care during difficult times. Accurately she intended to write the phrase “world gone mad” … except what I read as I reviewed the post was “world gone made”.
Admittedly, I am not an editor. I know this. One thing that I have learned through the process of submitting a manuscript and working through the editing process with someone else is how many times small errors can sneak into an writer’s work, especially mine.
So when I read “world gone made”, I saw the sort of error that I have made countless times, unintentional, small, but an error nonetheless.
But, seeing as how this is primarily my wife’s friend and not mine, I sent Cassia an email thanking her for the post and gingerly mentioning the mistake, which she “corrected”.
But then I kept going back to “world gone made”.
