Had a friend who accomplished the Mail-Order Minister Degree. Translation – he sent in Pocket Change to get a Certificate. Do they do that kind of thing any more???? And it appears that “Sam the Shoe Doctor” may have printed out his own certificate!!! ;)
We had an old Russian immigrant open a shoe repair store in our town many, many years ago. To a young boy (me, in case you hadn’t guessed) it was a fascinating shop. The first thing I noticed was the smell: leather and shoe polish. Second was the machinery, all connected by exposed overhead belts to a single electric motor. And then, of course, the man himself whose name was Rudolph and whose accent and limited English made me wonder if he understood what I wanted repaired. Back then (circa 1950) a pair of shoes, properly maintained, could last forever. The smell still lingers in my mind.
I studied 3years on campus MBI plus a life time. But as the Bible says there are many anti-christs. They oppose Christ and they try to replace Christ. Lots of false cults will give you a certificate.
True fact, one of the inspirations for the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous was an Episcopal priest named The Reverand Sam Shoemaker. Look him up if you think I’m kidding!

And even with those capabilities he still can’t do anything about Cosmo’s shirt.

A cobbler? My grandsons should be thinking about career choices. Should be little competition in that field and most likely no student debt. Hmmm.
