And on a Lighter Note....Here's to Chuck Taylors
Posted by: David Bunch
Admit it. You own or have owned a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor Basketball Shoes. You know those canvas ones with the unique, new-canvas-shoe-with-rubber-sole aroma that hits you full force when you first take them out of the shoe box.
I had my feet shod with several pair of these magnificent athletic shoes in my day, but that was a long time ago. Things changed, however, when last Christmas I convinced my wife that I had been on the "nice" list all year long and that Santa should bring me my very own brand new pair of Chucks. And would you believe it, ol Santa came thru.
The problem is, he forgot to convince my wife that they are a legitimate fashion accoutrement. She just doesn't buy into the fact that they go great with my suit for those Sunday Mornings when the PC fashion police are taking note.
But I am not alone. The High School Boys Sunday School class that I get to study with every Sunday Morning has a preponderance of Chucks. So much so that I have been tempted to re-name our class from the above mentioned, predictable moniker to....The Chucks! We could even have Chuck Day and all wear our Chucks together, and get in a circle and chant about Chucks...but I lose focus.
Lee Ann has her duct tape. Brad has his lucky LSU Baseball Cap. But I have my Chucks.
For all you Chuck fans out there, here is more information on the the history of Chucks than you could possibly want.

Thanks, David, for keeping us up to date on how Apostolics can directly help and what we're doing down in the Gulf area.

david,
I personally own a pair of blue & white Chuck's...to my wife's dismay. I too teach the youth class on Sunday mornings and think it would be a great idea to encourage a Chuck Taylor Day for all to sport their latest Converse Fashionables.
