I thought I would try something. As I saw them coming in, I pulled the door open for them saying, "Sister, let me get that door for you folks." They said, thank you for holding the door, and I said to the man, "Brother, you're welcom, any time!"
They were looking at me like I had sprouted a third eye in my forhead...until they saw my wife...they brightened up, "HI!! DO YOU GO TO CHURCH? WHAT CHURCH TO YOU GO TO!!" The transformation in their countenance was amazing...but telling at the same time.
I realized that the A-standards is how we identify ourselves...Just like the FISH Symbol on the back of our cars...
Funny thing hunh???

In some ways it is a nice thing - huh? Nice tradition, regardless of what else is involved.
