The Dress Code
Greetings from the Post,
I have been away for a while and missed you all. Trust the Lord has blessed all of you these past weeks. But, He is better to us than we are to Him for sure.
We were standing in the restaurant waiting for the rest of our party. Three young "men" (loosely used) walked in to be seated. I am pretty tolerant person for the most part. However, I do have my limits. As they walked past us to be seated one could not miss the dress or lack of. They all had on very bright boxer underwear. Now how would I know that? Simple!! They also had on knee ( most likely normal length ) length denim shorts pulled down under their buttocks and held up with a very tight belt that was strapped under their buttocks. They were wearing white undershirts. Now, it may be me but I think that term "under" is exactly what it means. Under something else, but that was not the case. As they took a few steps away they turned and looked at we ladies to be sure we were looking. And, we were ;in great disgust.
Being a rather plain spoken lady I asked the manger on duty if it was customary to allow this type of dress to be seated. His reply was not a great surprise given the morals of todays society. They were wearing "shoes and shirt"!! My next question was "Isn't that known as flashing? Exposing?" But of course not. They could not enforce that type of law. Really? What if I had my underwear hanging out? No, that would be "indecent exposure". After much exchange of dialogue I surmised I was fighting a loosing battle. My party and I left after filing a complaint with the restaurant. I am sure they really didn't care that we left.
What have we done to the moral standards of our country? When did we decide to let our young people be in public half or more exposed? Have we not thought about the other person? My Dad always said I was born a hundred years to late. I should have been in the 1800's so I could enjoy the long dresses and bonnets. Maybe so, but I would have been much more comfortable in public and not felt I offended anyone. Maybe turn a few head for the better I would hope.
Just a bit a venting here. Tell me how you feel. How moralisticly low can we get?
Until next time on the Post

Way to go,SS girl. I must say I definatley agree with you. And KUDOS for venting, complaining and leaving. Maybe if more of us did that we would get somewhere! Pastor B has a link about "Morality" that you would enjoy. Keep up the good work.
We enjoy it here......
Blessing from the Hill,
Ruth
