Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots

I've been needing a new pair of shoes for quite some time now. The problem is, I hate shoes. They're terribly made, don't last, and look like a kid should be wearing them. I mean, think about it; a grown man wearing a pair of sneakers around town. Doesn't really emanate professionalism does it? And even so, most people are content at buying some neon coloured pair of synthetic fiber shoes that won't last a year without looking like you just pulled them out of the sewer.

So I've been doing research on shoes that last and continue to look good. First of all, the best material suited to fulfill that purpose would be leather. You can polish leather over and over and it will continue looking good. Another prerequisite is that they must have soles that can be changed. Inevitably soles wear out. Most shoes have glued soles, so the options are waning. Another thing about the shoes is that they must be comfortable and provide substantial protection from rain and other substances that feet come in contact with. If sneakers get wet, so do your feet.

After some time of fretting with brands and cost, not to mention my wife chiding me about how bad my shoes look because I was unwilling to buy another pair of miniature garbage bags to cover my feet, I settled on the Wolverine 1000 mile boot. The brand has been around for quite some time (1883 to be exact... Hey, that exactly 100 years before my birth year!). To add to the scrumptulesity of this, the 1000 mile boot has been around for about as long. Made of the finest american full grain leather, these boots are hand sewn in the traditional cobbler way with all leather soles. Triple stitched, they won't



unravel. When I first tried them on, they were immediately comforting. No break in period necessary! One last thing to mention is that they take shoe polish very nicely and aren't very hard to get a lustre on.

To finish up my thoughts, I'd like to point out that shoes provide the foundation of your body. It should be a solid one, don't you think?

One Of My Poems

Through misty mountains calls a dream
It merely whispers, doesn't scream
And if you press your ear to earth
You'll see the sound and thus give birth
To truth as it was meant to be
Through resonance, thus never seen
The simple folk trust in their eyes
And all along believe the lies
That devils spin within their head
To propagate the mounting dread
Of reaper's sickle ever looming
And countless tolls from hell's bells booming
But wise men understand the truth
And though it may appear uncouth
They close their eyes on bended knee
So that with spirit eyes can see
The glory of the living God
Who washes feet and makes them shod
To mount with strength upon the rock
And give safe dwelling to the flock
He reaches out His hand to thee
If only you had eyes to see
It may be fate, yet I beseech
Salvation is within your reach
Just say and trust and walk in love
And thank the Lord from up above

Vibration

"Then God said..." It started everything that we perceive and experience from then until now. If you've ever read the book, "Who Censored Roger Rabbit" you know what a dopple ganger is. In the book it's described as an exertion of energy to produce a copy of one's self. However, it only lasts for a time and then disappears and dies. Walter Russel wrote that everything in our universe is based on resonance and therefore we are not seeing or hearing or touching or tasting. We're simply responding to resonance. If God spoke the universe into existence and we broke off communication with Him by our sinful acts, it would stand to reason that our lives are simply the leftover vibration of His spoken voice. And when we die, our vibration stops. Now, since the pitch was broken, this physical body must perish. However, through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ (a sinless Being) we are able to once again vibrate (live) with a new resonance (being). Now, to think of sin. Satan is described in the book of Isaiah to be master of the choir before his fall. Perhaps the vibration was adulterated to produce an off pitch that made what we call sin. Since Satan's pitch is an adulterated version of the true tone, the righteous resonance of God must always drown out the resonance of sin. So, when a person submits to God and confesses their sin, they have broken off the resonance of Satan's pitch and struck the chord to once again resonate with the Creator. This produces a different pitch, yet still true and righteous. And that's about all I've come up with thus far.
