Inconsistencies
Today my son and I were driving, listening to XM Radio, and a secular love song began to play. I said, "Your mom and I had this in our wedding". He seemed very surprised, and said, "You mean you guys were actually allowed to have secular love songs in your wedding?" I replied "yes", and he said, "But, how come you couldn't listen to it any other time?
THis got me to thinking about some of the inconsistencies with the way we were raised.
For instance, beards and mustaches were not allowed when I was growing up, but we could grow them or apply fakes ones for Easter and Christmas plays.
As mentioned above, we were not allowed to listen to secular music, but in nearly every wedding we attended, secular love songs were sung.
We were taught that a woman's hair was to be long and uncut because it was her glory, but all of the women were strongly encouraged to wear their hair piled high on their heads, not allowing it to hang down.
Anyone else want to discuss these, or add to the list?
