A couple weekends ago my wife and I were travelling home with our 4 boys from a soccer tournament. After a full weekend of games the aroma in the van was more than a little pungent….but every once in a while the smell would get incredibly bad. I couldn’t figure it out until I felt one of my boys feet touch the side of my head. His damp smelly socked foot was inches from my face. It was terrible.  

Most people when they think of feet, think of misshapen toes, bad toenails and a terrible aroma. Feet are simply not beautiful.

A few years before I was born, in 1977 a cinematic masterpiece and actually an entire franchise was launched. The movie begins simply with some blue letters on a black background. They read “A long time ago in a galaxy far far away….” and the Now familiar Star Wars theme thunders out while the story is set by the yellow letters scrolling off into space… There is a battle raging, growing tension…”It is a period of civil war”…there is war between the empire and the rebels. And so begins the old familiar story of good versus evil.
