40 Day Fast: Putting Shoes on Jesus’ Feet

Today’s my day to blog and fast for the 40 Day Fast and I’m fasting all day from…my shoes.
As I’m sure you figured out from Friday’s post, I had an ulterior motive for asking how many shoes you own. The average American owns at least 10 pair of shoes. The key words there are ‘at [...]

How Many Shoes Do You Own?

If I went through your closet, how many shoes would I find? I mean if I counted ALL your shoes – even that ugly pair you haven’t worn in 10 years that keeps following you from house to house. You know the ones I’m talking about.
