TOMS (Arctic) Shoes

This weekend at church I talked about "mission"; the call of God on every believer's life to go into the world and make a difference. Among many of the ministries and missions that I highlighted today was TOMS Shoes. I wanted people to catch a glimpse of the passion and joy involved when you know you are making a difference in the lives of others. For every pair of TOMS you buy a pair is given to a child in need. You can learn more about TOMS here, and here, and here.

So this weekend I slipped on my TOMS so that I could show people what they look like. They are a very thin canvass shoe and it was freezing outside today. I had to be the only idiot wearing a pair of TOMS in -17 degree windchill. I believe I have officially set the record for TOMS worn in arctic temperatures. I took a couple of pictures outside this a.m. with my TOMS on just to prove it...
