Back in Dec. of 2003 I fell from a tree while deer hunting. Spent 3 weeks in the hosp,3 months in a body cast,and 6 months in therapy. I almost lost my leg,but by the grace of God the Drs. were able to save it. When it came time to leave the hosp.the nurse brought me a bag with my belongings. Since my injuries were so severe everything I was wearing had to be cut off right there in the woods, including my left boot. Well the bag contained only one boot. I asked the nurse "now what am I suppose to do with one boot"Her reply really humbled me and rocked my world. She said" Give it to the Veteran Hosp. next door. "Wow ,I still tear up when I think about that. All really did give some. I contacted the hosp. and spoke with the coordinator for Vets volunteer services and decided to do a sock drive. I launched "Project S.O.C.K." Showing Our Christian Kindness at my church this past Sunday. I asked the congregation to bring in one pair of new white socks each Sunday from now until Memorial day. I have set a personal goal of 1000 pairs. I want to really blow their minds. I am not asking for donations from my OG family but I am asking that perhaps you could do something similar for the hospitalized vets in your are. Please pray for project S.O.C.K. Thank you.
Good luck with you S.O.C.K. mission, Red.. I never would have thought about socks, but it sure makes sense.. Nice!! :smiley-patriotic-flagwaver-an :smiley-patriotic-flagwaver-an
