In church this past Sunday, I couldn’t help but notice that most of the women were wearing black, or blank and white prints. Even one whose dress had white stars and faded stripes — the fabric’s print was all shades of gray.
There was no memo sent around and no conspiracy — just the way people felt.
Our members’ clothes were blatantly red, white, and blue. The men who typically wear sober ties go a little crazy for July 4th.
