Diogenes, always good for a snarky observation, offers this insight/question:
The U.S. Bureau of Prisons applies the following restrictions to persons visiting inmates incarcerated in federal detention facilities:
"Inappropriate/unauthorized attire is considered to be: transparent clothing; strapless garments; any garment which exposes the stomach or any intimate area of the body, tank-tops; halter tops; dresses, skirts and shorts which are shorter than four (4) inches from the middle of the knee; garments with obscene logos; low-cut blouses; obvious lack of undergarments."
So ask yourself: did the persons who presented themselves to receive the Eucharist at your parish last Sunday meet the prison decency code?
Ouch.
DONT JUDGE ME! GOD DOES NOT CARE WHAT I LOOK LIKE IN HIS HOUSE. HE LOVES ME!

God does look at the heart. But clothes are a bit more revealing of the heart than the cavalier wearers of modern fashion would like to admit to.
ReplyDeleteat my previous (Methodist) church we went and knelt at the altar rail for communion....I sat in the front pew....the choir director's daughter came up for communion. hubby about fell out of the pew...I was left wondering where she found a lime green thong that so exactly matched her flowing mini-skirt....
ReplyDeleteIn my own defense, let me elaborate on MightyMom's comment.
ReplyDeleteThe young lady in question didn't just kneel down at the altar. She was postioned directly in front of yours truly who was sitting with the rest of the clan in the front pew. I started admiring the stained glass windows at that point.
Our church is 5 blocks from the beach. 'Nuff said.
