I was very young but it seemed every woman wore a dress....men wore suit coats and ties to church...

I wear a suit and tie to church. I probably stand out like a sore thumb, but I don't care. I know God accepts us just as we are, but out of love and respect for God we should go before him wearing the best that we have. Not every man can afford to run out and buy a suit these days, but even slacks, a clean shirt, and a tie (easily found at a second-hand store) is an upgrade from the sandals, cargo shorts and wife-beater shirts I often see there. And, yes, I wish women would wear dresses more often. I appreciate the ones that do.

Yesterday, my wife bereated me on the way to church because I had a small - 1/4” - hole in my blue jean knee (Clean, and fresh from the dryer).

She would NEVER say a word about (or to) the grown women there who have shredded legs in THEIR jeans!
