You would think I'd just photograph them at home, or some other logical alternative. But apparently I prefer to continue taking not-so-well-lit pictures. I did take another in my office so you could see the color.
You probably noticed that these are much shorter than my usual Sunday heel height. I actually bought these several years ago (can't remember if it was when I was still in seminary or during my first call), before my heel height started creeping incrementally higher. Regardless of the heel height, though, I always take my shoes off when I preach. Unless of course I'm wearing boots or something more complicated that I can't just slip out of.
Isn't our orange carpet beyootiful? We have orange pews, too! Anyhoo, I like to preach in bare feet whenever possible. The acolytes who sit behind me usually think it's funny. People in the congregation who notice think it's funny when I shrink several inches during the process of saying, "grace and peace to you in the name of our risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen."
That's it for purple shoes. I only have the 3 pairs, although there is more of the season of Lent to come. I will have to repeat or not match my shoes to the liturgical color of the day. Either one is fine with me. I'll probably go with not matching as I don't like to wear the same pair of shoes too close together. Yes, I do know that I need therapy for my shoe weirdness. :-)
