Jenn,
If you read my message again, you'll see that I was talking about "me" and
what I felt comfortable about. I have better clothes I wear out to
restaurants or whatever and so why not wear them for the Lord at His house?
If I could only afford total casuals then I'd go clean and tidy and be quite
happy with that.
Please do not even think I was pointing a finger at your decision to wear
casuals. You'd be welcome with me at any church I went to, however you were
dressed, so long as you were comfortable before the Lord. It would sure be
my joy and privilege to take you along!
