Glad to see that I was not the only one.

They also ran an article that generated many "letters" about church music.

The guy sounded like he thought we out to only sing Hold the Fort or the Great Spekled Bird.....geesshh

Thank you as sometimes I don't communicate my thoughts the best.

If a woman sits on the platform, her dress should come at least to mid-calf when sitting with knees together and legs uncrossed. Whether sitting or standing, the less exposure of bare skin head to toe and the looser the clothes, the less tempting it is to look and lust.
I was once in church with my husband when I began to notice the young female choir director moving back and forth with the music and a tiny slit in the back of her long skirt.

Having read what a problem this could be to men; I asked my husband if it bothered him. He looked it me like I was out of mind and told me I was on the forum too much!

I am all for personal modesty, but to be sure the incidents that stay in my mind, from seeing women "worship" in church, would not have been helped much by another layer of clothing...

Don't want to get any plainer than that, but there are few images that are forever emblazened in my mind! :sshhh

They said the "Holy Ghost" did it - so what can I say????? Welllll blessed be the name of the Lord!

I thought you did great. I just remembered taking my sixteen-year old, drop-dead gorgous, long blonde hair niece with us on vacation. Couldn't get her back to her parents fast enough even though she was always dressed appropriately.

How about a mix that would include "Hold the Fort" once in a while and "The Great Speckled Bird" once in a while?
