Re: A Muslim "standard" causes contrvesy
I wonder what type of clothing men worked in, in Bible days, or fished in for that matter, and I wonder if God was embarrassed by their choices? Or if He even cares one way or the other what I wear to fish in? Goodness, I've been known to go in old rubber boots, my Dad's fishing hat, and my husband's oversized jacket. No fashion plate, but quite practical. Why should I care what other people think I look like, when I'm handling fish and worms and have dirt under my fingernails, and cricket guts everywhere?
I've never had God tell me I looked stupid.
