Barefoot on Holy Ground

When the Angel of the Lord appeared to Moses as a burning bush, Moses was wearing (on his feet) what was common in those days -- sandals. At the command of The Lord, Moses took off his sandals. He was walking on holy ground--no shoes needed. I guess we'll be walking barefooted in Heaven. This is fine and dandy by me, though I must admit, I love shoes. Walking barefoot in church is a whole other story.

Please, oh ladies, please don't walk barefooted in the church. Not now, not yet.

It's just not a decent sight to behold, unless, of course, it's typical in your church. It's rude because it's not common practice in a church setting where good manners should be at the utmost . It's disrespectful because, well, respect should be at its max. You wouldn't take off your shoes at a ball. You wouldn't take them off at say, a fancy business party. You get the point.

Okay, taking your shoes off at your seat to air your feet, or rest them, or massage them (gross), or whatever reason for is almost understandable, though for a lady, still not pleasant. But, getting out of your seat, barefooted, to go to the bathroom and spank your child, or blow your nose, or whatever reason for is just not cool. Well, you may think it looks cool, especially if you're the only one doing it. But, this unpleasant action tells us a little about you. You're rude and disrepectful. There, I said it.

And no, I'm not an extremist, so I'll accept that this doesn't always apply. I'm sure not every woman who does this is crude, though I cannot imagine a lady with class doing this.

Ladies, ladies, please remember, modern decency is probably at the lowest it's ever been, only to continue falling. Don't follow the trends. Reach deep inside and find the woman you really want to be (see Ladies and Modern Decency).

Ladies, until next time. Keep your shoes on!
