When I was a kid, I saw a lot of Sun­day school mate­ri­als that had illus­tra­tions with Jesus wear­ing san­dals like these. As the sum­mer that’s just end­ing was start­ing, I decided to get a pair of sum­mer cool footwear that was more com­fort­able than these san­dals. (I had worn these for maybe five or six years.) You see, they never fit me very well — I have very skinny feet, and few shoes ade­quately fit.

I kept the san­dals until a few days ago. I decided that since I hadn’t worn them all sum­mer, they must be off to the Good­will. (In UK Eng­lish, that’s “char­ity shop”.)

So my feet are a lit­tle less like Jesus.
