Emphasis Preaching Journal

I have a new hobby of making leather belts. I put an announcement in the church bulletin asking for any old belts or scraps of leather so that I could retool and reuse the leather in my various belt-making projects. One parishioner brought in a very used, but very sturdy and handsome long strip of leather. I cut it in two and made two leather belts and was even able to retain the original metal strap adjusters that were part of the original strap.
