Heck, nowadays, people don’t dress up like church, to go to church.

Amen. My former pastor told me that he would often do a double-take when looking out at the pews because based on the dress of a lot of the women he thought he was at a burlesque show.

Went to a baptism last week. Had to change because Mrs. Buckeye did not think I was dressed up enough for the occasion. When we got there the guy in the pew in front of me was wearing ripped, distressed denim shorts, sandals, a Hawaiian shirt and a three-inch cross earring on one ear that looked like it was about to tear his earlobe off.

Was he the child’s father, or the pastor ? :)

Here in Texas it’s more important to show up than show off. I wear a dress shirt and if the weather isn’t too hot, a tie. Some folks show up in t-shirts if that’s the best they can do.
