In part one last week, we looked at the Balmoral Oxford (Dress) Shoe. In part two this week we examine the (Single and Double ) Monk Strap shoe.

My dear parents, I am sure you have heard that this era we are living in is the Information Age. Problem is, the information is so pervasive that we are overloaded by information. Our senses are getting dulled by being bombarded with more information than we can digest at any given moment. However, in the midst of all this knowledge cacophony, are we paying attention to the kind of information our children are picking up?

Life is tough and difficult, and the journey through it has many twists and turns.

Don’t…
Dear Dorothy, My husband and I have been married for 15 years. He is 8 years older than me. We got married when I was 22. I have been under the impression that we had a close and loving relationship.

Whatever choice we make tends to have a domino effect because they lead to a chain of events which may be good or bad for us. Thinking through the possible decision before we act can save us much sorrow and suffering. Bad choices or decisions can have a disastrous effect on our lives. How can we make good decisions? When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven. -…
HOLY HUMOUR ONE OF US A nun, badly needing to use the restroom, walked into a local Hooters. The place was hopping with music and loud conversation and every once in a while the lights would turn off. Each time the lights would go out, the place would erupt into cheers.
