    Barefoot: It's not just for running anymore

    I am giving up shoes. Seriously, this is day two of being barefoot. I have been to the store, library and to my kids' school all sans shoes.

    I wrote about it here (in my first ever blog post):
    What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

        How many times have you had your feet stepped on so far?
        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

            Good for you. I think I mentioned to you that I'm going zero drop most of the time, even at work, and I'm interested to see how this works out.

                    'sup, I love you, but bare feet in a public place (except for the beach/pool/locker room) is just revolting, even degradation of the human spirit.

                    One of the things that the Nazis would do to newly arrived concentration camp detainees was make them walk around nude and barefoot. Many survivors said that it was one of them most degrading experiences they had while there, not because they were nude, but because they were barefoot.

                    Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

                        I have a good friend who actually dry heaves if he sees bare feet on pavement. I didn't believe him until I saw it happen. There can't be too many like him in the world though so you should be safe.

                          I can't wait to read the blog entry in August after you walk on the hot MS pavement

                          But seriously, good for you. I wouldn't go barefoot just for sanitary reasons, but I do almost always wear flip flops or just socks at home.
                          "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
