Well, I guess I am not keeping any standards (according to the UPC of course).
Technically today, I am following them all. Well, except for my hair, though since I haven't had it cut in a month, does that make it uncut?
But on any given day I might not be. I cut my hair, I occasionally wear light makeup, and I occasionally wear jewelry beyond my wedding ring and I occasionally wear pants.
Hope you like hot climates!!!

Can't even tell Light when we see it because we're looking for signs of Light instead of Light...heaven help us!!
It's true!
I remember one time in particular when I walked into a shop in HK. I greeted the clerk, looked around a bit and she said something to me that I've never forgotten. She isn't the only one to have made similar statements but coming from someone who quite likely never ever heard the Gospel and knew nothing of Truth it impacted me that day in a very special way.
She said to me in Chinese that I was beautiful and that I had a "heart of love". She said she could see that in my smile and that she could "feel" the love.
Well, she didn't really understand what it was she was feeling or seeing of course. It wasn't about beauty because I'm not that at all! But it was the beauty of the Spirit of God radiating from me that she felt. She knew there was a difference. I told her that it was because I had the love and the Spirit of Jesus in my heart. I didn't have enough of a handle on Cantonese at that point to go much further but I wanted her to know it wasn't just "me". That there was something greater.
I can still picture her in my mind and have prayed often that she would be saved.
How awesome it is that we carry His presence with us wherever we go. The greater the darkness the more bright the Light that shines out of our lives -- or it should anyhow.

Son, have you ever met me?! Do you know me?! How do you know that I 'look' holy?!
I can testify that you look holy.
All the women I have met on this forum look holy, including Subdued, Lisa, LadyRev, Abigail, Newman, and I can testify that Michael Phelps and Pastor Poster looked holy when I met them, even though they are men.

Of course it is Kutless. the Issue of adronment and outward sensuality is mostly associated with the female. males are simple beings who don't care the same things for the most part.
Holiness standards for men apply mostly to the inward man...it's silly to compare men with women in this area.
