Feet, Feet, Everywhere Feet. Sometimes you have to just post a quick fun thing. I spent the past four days at the Florida Christian Writers Conference near Orlando. I was on the faculty and taught seven sessions. When I go to these conferences, I always talk about how Fixing Your Feet has done as a nonfiction book.

When I posted the piece the other day about going barefoot I remembered a great new footwear that was important to tell readers about.

This was a large upscale hotel in downtown …
