Big Ties Are Back

2/16/2017

In the 5th and 6th grades, I had a teacher named Mr. Yoder. He used to wear big ties with big knots in a time when the fashion was skinny ties with small knots. He used to tell us that big ties would be back and he was just ahead of his time, not behind it. Within six years, the late 60s hit and big ties were a sign of someone who was hip and cool. The lesson was simple; what was will be again and what is today will soon be yesterday but will someday be tomorrow.

I had a favorite Bible College professor who was ahead of his colleagues in his methods and approach to just about everything. Yet, he admonished us not to be in such a hurry to rush to the next big thing because it would soon be last year’s trend.

If you want to celebrate that big ties are back or fear that big ties are now the fashion statement of the day, take heart. Skinny ties might be the past, but they are also in the future. Life, politics, fashion are a pendulum swinging back and forth. It always swings back after swinging forth.
