Explanation: When it's Ok for Ministers to Wear Pink Flamingo Flip-Flops
How delighted I am to find PeaceBang's lovely site, Beauty Tips for Ministers. I'm not a minister, and I don't really care much about fashion tips, but I surely do admire PeaceBang's attempt to whack her fellow ministers into line. Her liturgy concerning pink flamingo flip-flops and gym shorts is especially nice:
Let us pray: Dear Lord, The work You call us to is hard indeed, and takes us down many a painful path. When our hearts are laden with sorrow and our spirits cannot find You, let us remember that we are nevertheless agents of your love. Give us the strength to remember this wherever we go, even so humble a place as a hotel bar. And Lord, give us the strength to look the part-- emissaries of grace, believers in beauty, people of dignity, representatives of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
What To Wear For a Crisis:A pair of nice, gently flared dark denim jeans, some fashionable boots to kick ass in, a tailored, white blouse, and a BIG cross. Cheery lipstick, and no mascara. Don't forget the white hankie in your pocket, and a packet of Kleenex in your purse.
Let us join in a responsive reading:
The only place that a clergyperson should ever wear sports regalia is while attending a game of that team.
All: We are believers in beauty.
The only place a clergyperson should ever wear pink flamingo flip-flops, if ever, is by the pool.
All: We are emissaries of grace.
The only place a clergyperson should ever wear gym shorts is at the gym.
All: We are dignified people.
This is the word of Truth. Thanks be to God. Blogging Sister Friend, go in peace and sin no more.
