Most of us had a hard time learning to tie our shoes. Tightening shoes by wrapping strings together?

Nothing easy about that. Who came up with the idea of shoes anyway? This is Max Lakato.

My friend Roy used to sit on a park bench watching kids gather and play at the bus stop.

One day a little fellow struggled to board the bus, frantically trying to disentangle a knotted

shoestring.

He grew more anxious by the moment.

All of a sudden, it was too late.

The bus door closed.

With tear-filled eyes, he looked at Roy on the bench and asked, do you untie knots?

We never outgrow the urge to look up and say, help. And when we do, who shows up? Jesus,

our next door savior. Go ahead. ask him, do you untie knots?

Yes, he will say.
