I was disappointed to discover in my church those who go dress casually as 
well.  I use to force my son to ware a suit.  He told me once of all his 
school friends who attended he was the only one wearing a suit.  What is 
this world coming to when what we ware to obtain a job interview is better 
than what we wear to worship the Lord of our lives, the one who gave his 
life for us that we might not parish.  I can fully well understand the 
person who truly has no better to ware, but I say these individuals are 
rare.  Even at our lowest we can go to the salvation army or to good will 
and find something suitable.  We don't go to church for our own comfort, 
rather we go to worship.  Worship means stepping out of our comfort zone and 
showing others our Lord means enough to ware our very best.  If our heart 
doesn't reflect this sentiment than our Lord knows this and we humans aren't 
to judge.  I continued to force my son to ware a suit which displeased him 
constantly.
