Well, Fall has hit our home full force! Since the last post we have faced Halloween and the dreaded UT Homecoming! David and I made some observations about fall in East Tennessee and to mildly state it, this town is NUTS!
I worked Halloween and made a few observations about people in general, but particularly the crazy costumes I saw. What ever happened to the good clean days of Halloween when kids dressed up in Poodle Skirts and Pirate gear?! I was thoroughly appalled at the costumes that PARENTS put let their children wear! Now let me be quick to say that many of the people I saw were college students, but I saw a large portion of kids wearing skimpy outfits and gory clothes.
Let me just state right now how much I hate what Halloween has become in the last few years. I never have been in agreement with the intent and purpose of Halloween, but I always found it fun to dress up as a kid for sake of pretending. It was fun to become someone you would not normally be in real life! I traditionally favored the Princess costume, but my mom was pretty amazing at coming up with creative costumes for us kids! (Note the Old Man/Lady Costume and Butterfly Costume she came up with)
That leads me to the costumes that many of these college guys AND girls wore! Wow! Talk about leaving nothing to the imagination!! What ever happened to good old Fashioned Modesty?! Granted I have been known to wear a spaghetti strap tank or two in my time, but this goes far beyond showing a minimal amount of skin. The girls are the worst of them all. Its like they were trying to get a sexual reaction out of the men! What I don't understand is that these ladies wear these tight pants, even tighter shirts, and barely there skirts that are obviously going to get some kind of sexual response out of ANY man and then wonder why their boyfriends don't respect them.
Really, is it that difficult to keep yourself covered. I was told countless times as a kid by not only my parents, but many influential women in my life, that modesty is something that very few understand, practice, or appreciate these days! Let me issue this challenge to my single girlfriends, Cover it up ladies everyday for a month and lets see how things change with your relationship with men. I guarantee the your boyfriends will appreciate your personality a lot more AND in turn come to respect you as a person a lot more! I promise you that it will help your Christian brothers to keep from falling into sin.
