That advice reminds me of an old story.........

One Sunday morning an old cowboy entered a church just
before services were to begin. Although the old man
and his clothes were spotlessly clean, he wore jeans,
a denim shirt and boots that were very worn and
ragged.

In his hand he carried a worn out old hat and an
equally worn out Bible.
The church he entered was in a very upscale and
exclusive part of the city. It was the largest and
most beautiful church the old cowboy had ever seen.
The people of the congregation were all dressed with
expensive clothes and accessories.

As the cowboy took a seat, the others moved away from
him. No one greeted, spoke to, or welcomed him. They
were all appalled at his appearance and did not
attempt to hide it.

The preacher gave a long sermon about Hellfire and
brimstone and a stern
lecture on how much money the church needed to do
God's work.

As the old cowboy was leaving the church, the preacher
approached
him and asked the cowboy to do him a favor.
"Before you come back in here again, have a talk with
God and ask him
what He thinks would be appropriate attire for
worship."

The old cowboy assured the preacher he would.

The next Sunday, he showed back up for the services
wearing the same ragged jeans, shirt, boots, and hat.
Once again he was completely shunned and ignored.

The preacher approached the man and said, "I thought I
asked you to speak to God before you came back to our
church."

"I did," replied the old cowboy.

"If you spoke to God . "what did he tell you the
proper attire should be for worshiping in here?" asked
the preacher.

"Well, sir, God told me that He didn't have a clue
what I should wear.

He says He's never been in this church before."

Stay Safe.........
