Cursed are the feet that bring no news

So my left foot has seen better days. I left the square piece of gauze on to cover the large wound on the top right corner. I found out a few days ago that the bottom half of my foot wont be able to be operated on before we leave the country. So it will have to wait a few years. My sister-in-law, Jill thinks that feet are disgusting. She hates feet. But a few years ago when we had "the great feet debates" I told her that I like feet and went on to compare feet to a beautiful sunset. She was appalled, and wondered what kind of family she was marrying into. Naturally it was a family with a proper perspective on sunsets. I'm afraid to report that I have changed my mind this passed year. I'm no longer a feet fan. I don't mind sunsets though. It's funny the way you really appreciate your body parts after they get hacked up. The first day back from surgery, I thought about how fortunate I am to be able to walk. Now that I can't walk, I really desire to walk again and am hoping that this foot will heal, and a healthy foot will be restored to me. Trina will be happy once it heals too, because I'll stop tracking blood and messy bandages all over our little apartment. So far I've only wrecked one pillow. I'm putting these pics up, so that I can see how well my foot heals. And Trina wanted to test her new camera that she just got at an incredible price thanks to Karen Coleman. I think She's pleased with it. She likes it more than my left foot to be sure, and possibly my right foot too!
Plantars Warts man, who'd of thought. I go my whole life free from this viral infection, then all the sudden at age 27 look out. The thing you can learn from me, is when you get the first one. Get it taken care of. Don't wait two years or so hoping they'll go away. Accept the fact the your body isn't becoming immune. I gotta tell you though. This Dr. Mozena, who I've been seeing for my feet. Great guy, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him. I'll leave you with this African proverb: "Only a fool tests the depths of water with both feet."

Omniscience

Next to God, I think google is a distant second on knowing everything. Granted, google doesn’t know the number of hairs on my head. I already tried last year at google merely said: FAQ - Number of Hairs

Q. How many hairs are there on my head? From Apply Now, Your Guide to Hair Loss. ... A. Each person's head has an average of 100000 hair follicles. ... hairloss.about.com/od/thehairgrowthcycle/f/Number.htm - 18k - Jan 2, 2006

As you can see google simply averages out the number of each persons hair. Then makes illogical leaps assuming that I’m worried about hair loss. Google doesn’t know the exact number of my or anyone’s hair, nor does google make the proper assumption, “that I have more anxiety over my ever increasing gray hairs.” God has the corner on that info. Hopefully, later on in life, a google search of, Seth Chase will have some exciting and quirky results. But right now google isn’t “on to me” (which is even more evidence for google being less omniscient than God). There are the classic humans that google is aware of… like google knows Randy Alcorn, and Stu Weber, and has a lot to say about those guys, but mainly google just tells you were to buy their books. I asked google if he/she/search engine/demigod had any dirt on Randy or Stu, but all I got for Randy was : Giving 5

You begin to dig and which each shove full of dirt tossed aside you think of ... Randy Alcorn, The Law of Rewards. • If you want a heart for missions … give ... www.rftpsermons.com/giving5.html - 22k - Cached - Similar pages

Similar search results followed for many pages and Stu’s search wasn’t any edgier. Possibly there is no dirt on those guys, they both have a great history of sanctification under their belts, but they’d be the first to tell yah that they’re not perfect. Now, I have googled some people I thought I knew; and google has shown me that I didn’t know them at all. Take Rainy Takalo for example. She’s in cahoots with Rick Steves’. That’s right I said it, you heard it from me first. Rainy gives out some interesting information though. She mentions that she has a “cheap Swiss heritage” and she tells us to “avoid the Gruyere Factory tour, because it costs 5 Swiss Francs to see pictures, narrated by a cow.” If you don’t believe me, go ahead and google Rainy for yourself… but the most astonishing person you thought you knew: Ruth King. You might think Ruth is financial guru for Good Shepherd whose office is guarded diligently by two red heads. You might think Ruth has a gentle demeanor, and cool hair… but that’s not all there is to know about Ruth. Ruth is a respected author and expert on “women and rage.” She’s got a M.A. in psychology, and she’s a fantastic Blues Musician (which helps explain the cool hair). Ruth is also a CEO of Business TVChannel.com. And when she’s not busy doing all the above mentioned pursuits, She’s painting experimental abstract art. Did I mention that she’s an associate prof at Ohio State as well? Ruth, you are an amazing women. Without all those credentials, I thought you were amazing. Way to fly under the radar! And if you want a tip from Mr. Seth Chase, here it is: Look into starting a “women and rage group” at Good Shepherd and see what happens.

My friend Dan

It took me about two hours to get on my blog. Which brings me to a new low. It seems to me, I can't remember passwords anymore. And I'm not even thirty yet! In addition to this. Computers don't like me. Whenever they ask me to put in those swirvy letter verifications... I enter what I think they are, and then I get declined. Then my A.D.D kicks in and I start doing something else. A.D.D has been extremely helpful these days... yeah it's been destructive too. But it's a great defense mechanism. When I get frustrated because I can't remember a password or do letter verifications after I vent some anger, I begin to start doing something else. Like see what movies are playing, or looking at other peoples blogs because I can't log onto mine. Inevitably I land on my friend Dan Franklin's blog. I love his blog, because he rates movies, and nine times out of ten, I dig the movies that he digs. Plus Dan and I decided we are best friends that never hang out. Which is new terrain for friendships I feel. Because come on... who doesn't want to hang out with their best friend? Yet Dan and I just can't seem to find the time. And he only lives a mile away. Mine as well be Australia as far as we're concerned. We just can't make it work. I should mention as well that we work at the same place, and attended the same seminary, and church... yet, we can't seem to find each other... and his office is two doors down from the office that I work out of. Crazy. This is the first best friends that never hang out situation I've ever been in, and I gotta say, it's quite interesting. We also share the same taste in music, and we like the same authors, and like I said, I like his blog. His blog entitled "almost" I found to be quite entertaining. Plus, his blog where he critiques Deja Vu is very entertaining, and I didn't see the movie just because of his review, and I'm a huge Tony Scott fan! Another interesting fact about Dan and I is that there is one movie out there that pretty much nobody saw for some reason, and it was our favorite movie in college, though neither of us new it at the time. We only discovered this years after we graduated in a conversation we had at a bar in Vilnius Lithuania two years ago. That movie: "the zero effect." Nobody is aware of this gem. And what is really funny is, neither of us had been to Portland Oregon at the time we saw this movie, and the whole thing was shot here, in portland. We only realized this after we watched the movie again once we both actually lived here, and then realized that the whole thing was filmed here. Wow, that sentence was confusing, and really not that funny. So I want to take this time to rate Dan Franklin's blog. I give it a 8.5 out of ten. He could be a lot funnier if he wanted to. Yet he chooses not to, I like his overall layout. The only downer is he went with the narrow blog post format, so you have to do a lot of scrolling. But he takes great pics, his movie reviews are solid. And every post is interesting on some level... if not informative. In addition to this he posts frequently, unlike myself which is why I'm giving my blog a 7.2.Nice work Dan, that's the highest rating I've given any blog a solid 8.2. Just one point higher than my blog! Where I have you beat in my mind is the wider blog format so you don't have to scroll as much, and my colors are more vibrant... giving the view "a happy go lucky" feel. My blog lacks movie reviews which is a bummer, so I got to start that... but a redeeming quality is the entertaining short flicks that can be seen from short flicks section. I'll be awaiting a review of my blog from you in the not too distant future. Maybe we should be blogging friends, predominately communicating through blog since we never see each other. Something to consider for the future. Keep up the blogging Dan. Cheers. Seth
