[GCFL-discuss] Old cowboy goes to church

[gcfl-discuss at gcfl.net]

At the church that I attend, there is a family that looks like they are dirt
poor.  They come dressed really nice, but the clothes are all worn and
battered and look like a Salvation Army special.  Regardless, the clothes
are clean and the children volunteer to carry the cross and the parents
volunteer to do set up, etc.  It doesn't matter how one is dressed.

getting all biblical here....do you think that Moses was clean and
immaculate when he went up the mount for the 10 commandments? After being in
the wilderness for so long? hmmm....
Granted yes you should be clean and decent but I don't think you should be
turned away for not being that way.
At my chuch, people dress formal....some of the younger ones...wear t-shirts
every once in a while....some where nice summer dresses not the whole fancy,
fuzzy, floucy stuff...
The only time you see EVERY one dress to the nines is on Easter and
Christmas or during a christining of a child or confirmation....
Let me just add, there is two homeless people who come into our church,
dirty, smelly and they sit and listen to the service...no one turns them
away because they are dirty or smelly...and no they can't afford to buy
clothes...does it make them unbelivers? or have the attitude that they can't
serve God?
Nope....I didn't think so.
