I'm an idiot

For 30 years, 30 STINKING YEARS, I have been tying knots. WRONG. This image to the left, this is wrong. Note the bows lie more along the show than across the shoe?

I've been trying shoes for the better part of 30 years and i've been wrong the whole time. Now I am trying to (to quote a mentor of mine "unlearn what I have learned". Its not easy.

This image shows how the shoe SHOULD be tied. Many of you (both of you) may find yourself in the same dilemma. Thankfully, Ian will show us how it's done, along with some fancy new knots. And, and, and.... new ways to lace a shoe too.

You gotta love the internet. The great leveler. Sure, you can ridicule a guy who is this into knots, but once you realize how right he is and how wrong you are...all self righteousness fades. And where else can you practice a hobby as obscure as knot tying.

Gotta love it. Site is here.

Seeing into the hereafter and borrowing its reality today. Anoallasso - The Upward Change

When I was a kid, someone bought me a "Christian" t-shirt. You know the one, "Go Against The Flow" in big letters with one small fish swimming against a whole ocean of others. Apparantly, as Christians, we are supposed to "go against" the flow of the world. So what happens when you go against the flow of the church? What happens when you want a vibrant relationship with Jesus but don't fit in with the church today? If I go against the flow in the church, does that mean I'm going WITH the flow of the world? The buzzword among Christian youth is relevance. But what is relevance anyways. It sounds like just another xtian word to me. I can even hear the sermon, Repentance, Relationship, Righteousness, and finally I close with Relevance. And though we need to be relevant, we need even more to be real. This is me being real. This is me as I struggle in anoallasso. This is me in the upward change.
