Well, that would apply to many men for simply not working out and many women for having their first kid 9 months and 1 day from their wedding night.

I completely agree. It wasn't that she specifically wore a skirt, but it was that she didn't let it hinder her from working like a crazy women on that machine.

It boggles my mind that preachers rail against all sorts of "sinful" things that harm the "temple" but they sit still and are lazy and won't hit the gym or go for a jog. Ya know what...I am enamored by the thoughts I have about the pastors I sat under in TN while growing up. The founding pastor, now bishop, still goes and mows the lawn at the church. Now he uses a John Deere, but he used to push mow it when it was smaller. He gets out and sweats like a dog doing, but he refuses to let others do it unless he is out traveling preaching. He isn't in tremendous shape, but he is in better shape than his siblings. His son is now the pastor and he might go to Cracker Barrel for breakfast, but he eats egg whites, turkey bacon and wheat toast. Not to mention he plays golf and walks most of the time when he plays and he also does some cardio stuff too. He is in fair shape, better than me really, but I am working hard at it. But I have learned from men like this that have a serious work ethic and care about their temple...that means a lot to me.

While I am not a "standards" person I think it was cool to see her living out her convictions. I know she is an OP because she attends a church not too far away. It was not the workout skirt that DA posted her a long while back. It was a LONG brown ankle length skirt. The skirt wasn't holding her back either. She was working out hard on that machine. I thought this was neat.
The Muslim woman I saw at Wet N Wild in Orlando a couple of weeks ago beats your OP woman! The Muslim woman was in the wave pool in full head to toe Burka complete with the head wrap!!!! Of course her husband looked like any other guy in his swim trunks and T shirt. Made me think of my UPC heritage. Saw a picture about 20 years ago of an OP femal relative going down a giant water park slide with her skirt up around her head.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

Funny isn't how we used to think? A burka at a water park might be a weird site at a water park, but I would bet she stayed cooler than everyone else for a longer period of time.
