There's just something about "boots and jeans".....
BOOT TRIVIA :)
~Boots that are particularly old and well worn are thought of as being tough and strong as expressed by the phrase "tough as old boots."
~One potential fate of a discarded boot is to be used in the construction of a musical instrument known as the "mendoza."
~Tall (high) boots may have a tab, loop or handle at the top known as a bootstrap, allowing one to use fingers or a tool to provide better leverage in getting the boots on. The figurative use "to pull one's self up by one's bootstraps" in the sense of "ability to perform a difficult task without external help" developed in the 19th century in US English.
~To "die with one's boots on" means to die while one is still actively involved in work, to go down fighting. Popularized by Wild West movies.
~Boot camp: a colloquial term for the initial recruit training of a new recruit enlisting in a military organization or armed force. In this context, a "boot" is just such a recruit.
~To "give one the boot" means to kick one out (of a job, a club, etc.) or expel one, either literally or figuratively.
~"The boot is on the other foot now" means that a situation has become reversed—a previous victor is now losing, for example.
~Wearing "seven-league boots" references a classic children's fairy tale and indicates that a person or company can cover great distances, figuratively or literally, in a single stride.
~To "shake/quake in one's boots" means to be very frightened, and is mostly used sarcastically. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot
~ "these boots were made for walkin..."
FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
If God were standing right here He may say something like this to us: "Demonstrate your trust in Me by sitting quietly in My Presence. Put aside all that is waiting to be done, and refuse to worry about anything. This sacred time together strengthens you and prepares you to face whatever the day will bring. By waiting with Me before you begin the day’s activities, you proclaim the reality of My living Presence. This act of faith—waiting before working—is noted in the spirit world, where your demonstration of trust weakens principalities and powers of darkness.
The most effective way to resist evil is to draw near Me. When you need to take action, I will guide you clearly through My Spirit and My Word. The world is so complex and overstimulating that you can easily lose your sense of direction. Doing countless unnecessary activities will dissipate your energy. When you spend time with Me, I restore your sense of direction. As you look to Me for guidance, I enable you to do less but accomplish more." (written by Sarah Young from "Jesus Calling")
~"Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear… Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” —Luke 12:22–25
~"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." —Ephesians 6:12
~"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed."—Proverbs 16:3
