Last night at church we carried on with "A Simple Christmas." It is not only about sharing our wealth during the holidays, but throughout the year. At the end of the service Don asked us all to consider taking off our shoes and leaving them on the stage. These possibly 10,000 plus pairs of shoes will be dropped off to non profit organizations all over the valley in the coming weeks. What a blessing my used sneakers will be to someone else. I guess what homeless people ask for a lot of times are white socks. White socks.... Something most of us so take for granted. What an amazing feeling it was to see so many people walking around the campus at CCV barefoot!
P.S. My Aunt and Uncle were going to church alone for the first time today... Can't wait for that phone call!

You betcha we did, and yes i left with only my bare feet,it was such a an uplifting experiance to see all those shoes.We actually had to stand in line on our way up to the stage,but well worth the wait
I hope everyone washed thier feet before they came to church.
Wow! That's so moving! I can almost imagine what that looked like. What a great idea! Just wonderful!
What an amazing way to show God's love to others! I can imagine what that looked like with all those shoes on the stage.
Hope they can find a woman with big feet like yours :o) J/K
