Sprucetown: Ever try to run a marathon in flipflops or kick a football with tennis shoes? The right footwear gets you further to do more. This week we hear about The Shoes of Peace: Ready to Move. They give us balance, stability, traction and readiness for the road ahead so that with God’s peace we may walk as His messengers of hope.
