Mlroseplant, Don’t second guess yourself neighbor. Your footwear choice had minimal effect on the off chance one or two people surfing the net saw you and decided not to join that church. In times like these those regular members should probably give more of their money or time. Bubba136 makes great points about church attendance being down and it’s been documented that it’s down worldwide. Some religions have been plagued with scandal or created a perception certain behaviors are tacitly condoned despite laws against them. Many remember the scores of tv evangelists who succumbed to greed and temptation. It certainly didn’t help the faith community when certain states decided to close churches while casinos and liquor stores were open. All these factors drove people away. Precisely why it’s important to keep forging ahead. Even in heels. HinH

I try to exercise as much as I can. And I like to ride my bicycle as well.

You are probably right. My calves are definitely on the larger side for my smaller frame. Thanks alot buddy!

You are correct. Most pastors of the larger, highly organized churches of major conferences are routinely transferred after three or four years. My experience over the past two decades has been with small rural churches that my son, who is a pastor of a small independent church in rural Virginia, (think John Boy and Billy Bob) refers to as “family reunion churches.” Their budgets are often smaller and leadership positions, outside of the pastors and one or two other positions, are usually filled voluntary. As to your shoes 👠 wear what you are comfortable wearing. But it takes real courage to wear high heels openly in church, not to mention performing on stage in full view of everyone. “ More power to ya.” 🤗

Here are my latest. I saw these at a local thrift store weeks ago. The fit was a tad tight in the toebox. Nothing major but just enough to where I thought I might not be able to wear them for any length of time, so I decided against them. They were a size 9. I am normally a size 9.5 to 10 but depending on the shoe style and brand, I can also fit into some 9's. I definitely regretted my decision later because it was love at first sight. And I loved the toe cleavage they provided. And they were in pretty good condition. They looked like they were only worn a handful of times at the most. As luck would have it, I went back today, and they were still there calling my name. I tried them on again, and this time, they fit a little better. I could not pass them up twice, so I happily paid the twenty dollars, and they went home with me. I'm hoping that the first time maybe my feet were just having a little swelling problem that day. Or maybe after some wearing, they will stretch themselves out a little. The shoes are Jessica Simpson brand with a thick ankle strap, and the heel measures 4 and a quarter inches.
