Sublime or Ridiculous?

When Ethan returned home from his first day of pre-school on Tuesday, he took off his sandals and I glanced down at them and blinked. I looked again and this is what I saw:


I decided I should ask a few questions before I ran off to call the Vatican. I said, "Ethan what is on your shoe?" First he corrected me, saying, "They're not shoes, they're sandals!" "But...what is that sticker on your sandal?", I spluttered.
"It's a Jesus sticker. We took off our shoes and the teacher put it on my sandal. She only put it on one sandal."
Hmmmm...What could have been the particular point of this exercise? Seems a little sacriligious to put this sticker on your shoe (or sandal)!
Maybe I should look more carefully into Lutheran theology.

Could it be a practical version of "Take Jesus with you everywhere you go"?

Call the Vatican?! Har har! That IS a teensy bit peculiar. Is it like a metaphor for having Jesus in your SOLE? (GROAN)

Hmm, one day at school and he's already being pushed to walk all over Jesus! heheheehee. I don't know, it all seems rather brainwash'y' to me. Those physchological types will do all sorts of weird things to push their agendas :)

"When we walk with the Lord..." or maybe "Just a closer walk with Thee..." :-)

How about "In His steps"?
