So, back in 2008, I was working with Piedmont Community Church down in Boiling Springs, SC.
Tommy Lupton was the pastor and the church did not have enough money to pay me (and others) to "work" for the church. So, Tommy gave me a card with money in it.
I put that money into my checking account and decided to use it for something for Look Up, where I'd be spending all my time that summer.
I bought a few pairs of Chacos, using the money Tommy gave me to partially pay for them.
My favorite pair I bought was a gray/silver pair of Chaco "flips."
Somewhere towards the end of the summer (2008) I lost these flip flops. It was a sad day when I realized they were gone. I assumed they were in the shop, where most of my things were or in the trailer, where I lived.
Fast forward to a few months ago...
I was packing all of my belongings to move to my new house, with hope that I would find my beautiful flip flops... alas... I was sad to NOT find them...
Fast forward to this morning, circa 11:12 AM...
After a morning of shipment at Old Navy, Justin "Mam-Ma, the BEAR" Washburn and I went to the driving range to hit some golf balls. We heard someone yell from the road, "BO!" which is very common, since I am a local celebrity... no wait... that's not true.
We realized we did not have correct change for the ball machine and decided to take a stroll down the street to find change for a $20 bill. Eric Knapp pulled into the parking lot in front of us. When Eric got out... he had on some old grayish looking flip flops...
"Did you find those at LUL?"
"Yeah, they yours?"
"YEAH!"
"I found them outside the shop one day!"
My flip flops, that I love so much, that were a gift from Tommy Lupton 2 years ago, that have traveled to North Carolina, Georgia, and beyond... were back!
Eric traded them out for me with some old flops I had... I say to you Eric Knapp, thank you, deeply, from the depths of my soul... THANK YOU.
