I went to Walmart today and as I walked around I couldn't help but notice how sloppy a lot of people are! For real! Now I know it's just Walmart and no one is going to put on their Sunday best but, come on now do they have to go bare foot and wear their pajamas? And is it asking too much for them to at least comb their hair?
As I walked around the produce section a man passed me with hair that looked like it had never been touched by a comb. No joke! I kept looking at his head expecting a bird to take flight...a BIG bird! I felt a strong urge to cover the tomatoes that I was about to put in my basket. It wouldn't do for something from his hair to jump onto my tomato!
I may not have grown up with money and the new styles that it could buy but I was taught to take a bath, brush my teeth and hair...and at least iron the clothes that I had...
Maybe I'm 'old school'...maybe it's okay to go look for a job with jeans and a t-shirt on...or apply for an apartment with bare feet and a baby who has nothing on but a diaper (in the winter)...or go to church with the same clothes on that you wear to the baseball field...Uh oh I may have stepped on a few toes with that one...but seriously what happened to RESPECT?
Respect for yourself as well as others and most of all God?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that if a person doesn't have the best clothes that they shouldn't go into the public but, for heaven's sake if you don't respect yourself enough not to show your 'front butt' with a too-tight shirt on that isn't long enough to cover it...Please!!! Please!! think about the rest of us and spare us the horror!
As far as getting dressed for church..well I guess I am old school...It is my opinion (yes I know, I'm opinionated) that a person should always...ALWAYS look their best at church. Even if their best is jeans and a t-shirt..it should be clean and wrinkle free...After all what if God decided not to show up and give you HIS best? I'm just saying...that's my opinion...
Ok I've ranted enough...so I'm going to take my old school self to Farmersville and feed a few chickens for a little while... ;)
