Things I’ve Learned In Church” Entry #3 | God’s Dress Code<\/h4>\n

About 8 years ago I visited what appeared be a a Baptist cult<\/s> church that was out in the country, just south of Elyria Ohio. I was wearing shorts since it was mid-August and\u00a0scorching\u00a0hot outside. This turned out to be the wrong day to show up to church in shorts.\u00a0I knew I might have made a mistake when my friend, who used to go to church there, showed up in business attire.<\/p>\n

The service was not bad aside from a few crazy ladies running around the sanctuary screaming. That is, until the pastor found the opportune moment to take a shot at the kid who showed up in shorts, in front of the whole church! (That’s me if your having trouble following).<\/p>\n

In the middle of announcing the summer camp for the children he looked right at me as if to burn a whole through my face with his laser vision and minted these fine words….<\/p>\n

“If you send your kids to summer camp without church clothes, which is either a suit or dress pants with a buttons down, not shorts and a t-shirt, we WILL send them back home without a refund.”<\/em><\/p>\n

For about a second and a half i questioned if he was actually talking at me. Then I noticed the whole church was staring at me and it was pretty much confirmed. Thanks for the good word pastor!<\/p>\n

\"church<\/p>\n

Upon exiting the church I shook the pastor’s hand and said “thanks for making me feel welcome pastor,” with a smile on my face.
