The instructor told me to be in her class I had to unwind my skein of yarn and roll it into a ball.  I never do that, I always use it straight from the skein and very seldom do I have a problem, but out of respect for her as the teacher I put down my needles and pulled on the yarn.  Wouldn't you know it, I get half way through the skein and I pull out a huge glob of tangled mess. Yuk !!! 

I worked on pulling out all the knots for quite some time. It reminded me of my life. There are times that tangled mess of yarn is just a small representation of the tangled mess I make of my life. Burdens pile higher and higher, the knots get tighter and tighter until I am ready to throw my hands in the air and give up.

I was ready to throw that tangled mess into the trash but thank God he doesn't feel that way about me and my messed up life. (more)
