Some things I know about

Yeah, so..... I've been thinking about how stupid I can be sometimes. Like, I don't think I know as much about emerging, missional, evangelical and all that as I sometimes think I do. I know virtually nothing about politics. I am a terrible counselor. So I'm trying to rack my brain about some things I do know.
  • Baby, I know it's cold outside.
  • I know college basketball, and some NBA.
  • I know football - most notably the Dallas Cowboys (my room used to be wallpapered with pictures and stats of them).
  • I can cut, bend, and weld sheet metal (and make a mean chimney and some other cool stuff).
  • I know what it's like to be transformed by God into a new person.
  • I know how to run on a treadmill (hey, I know people who can't).
  • I know a little bit about cultural trends.
  • I know what a broken heart feels like, and I know it bothers me to see it in others.
  • I know how to type pretty good. I think I would be a good secretary.
  • I know how to play the guitar poorly.
  • I know how to play the bass even poorlier.
  • I know how to do laundry and I am an excellent vacuumer.
  • I know how to ride a motorcycle and a horse (but not at the same time, and it's been a looooong time since I've done either).
  • I know I know other stuff, but I just can't think of it right now.

I know about chainsaws.

And when you know about chainsaws, nobody gives you crap about not knowing anything else.

Yes, but can you skip on a treadmill?

:) I know I have the nicest daughter in the world.

And it's always good to have a friend in the chainsaw business. Especially as much as I depend on mine.

Tony,
Great to hear from you again! But, no, I only skip unintentionally on my treadmill. I often think of that video when I'm jogging. :)
