Oh My!
Am I being sensative or judgemental? Today, as I went grocery shopping after a successful and painless dentist visit, I really seemed to notice how people were dressed. Maybe it's because I took extra care in my dress today. Maybe it's because it's unusually hot and humid for April here. In Walmart alone, I saw a mother and her two daughters. The oldest girl must have been only 10 or 11 years old. The younger, 7 or 8. The older was wearing the typical short-shorts and t-shirt. The younger was wearing a denim miniskirt that was shockingly mini! It was so mini, it'd be a mini on a toddler! Then in front of me in the check-out line were two teenage girls wearing tank tops with their bras showing and tummy's revealed. Then, I was heading back to my car, a plus-sized woman was heading in the opposite direction and was wearing a big red t-shirt that boldly read, "Yes, I know I'm Nasty!" Why would anyone want to wear that?
As she walked by, I wondered, am I being sensative or judgemental? I guess I'm sensative because it bothers and saddens me that so much of our God given bodies are shown and there's a disregard for a good reputation. Perhaps I'm judgemental because I'm still working on my wardrobe and style taste, and I'm sorry for that. But it was definately a learning experience to watch more what I wear!

What confuses me is that the people showing the most skin tend to be the least fit. We definitely have no shame today. The only guilt we feel is over eating a brownie.
The little girl next door, she's 10, right in between my girls ages...she comes over with shirts saying things like, "your boyfriend's cute" & something like "saw it, wanted it, threw a fit, GOT IT!" I'm not sure why parents would buy their children this sort of thing...
And the modesty is a hard issue..I think too many people have the Brittany Spears attitude which is something like, "God made my body so why be ashamed?'
God bless!
