I know I'm not the only person who's done this.
Ever get ready for church when you were a kid, and came out wearing some straight garbage. When you momma/daddy called you out about it, you say with the straightest face ever, "But the bible said come as you are!"
then After I picked my face up off the ground....
But it's interesting... I'm Catholic, and was raised Catholic. MY mom was raised baptist and converted to catholicism. So I definitely had influences of not wearing pants to church, although modern catholicism isnt really that strict on dress code...'come as you are'. I've only very recently (like 6 months ago) started wearing pants...and you know what? I still feel really funny about it. and the ONLY reason why I started wearing pants was that I was in a cast and a boot, and felt self-conscious. I'd rather wear a long skirt (or even knee length) than pants.

is it just me? I love going to spirit filled churches! no matter if the service is 1/2 or two hours, the time just flies by. and it's like you're on cloud nine for the rest of the day.
