He included some things that I had not thought about, and wonder if he went too far that way. Obviously, though, he has to think of those things because (fair or not) he has to hold a higher standard so that he can point us toward a life more pleasing to God. I bet life as a PK was interesting! They either turn out really well or really poorly from my experience. Good to see you're the former.

I so enjoy your posts on modesty! What happened to those bathing "dresses" women used to wear in the early 1900s? I'm always puzzled at how fashion trends seem to dictate our standards more than our morals do! Someone we admire and respect may lower their standard in one way or another and we suddenly think--oh, it's okay for them, it's okay for us too. That's why I think it is so important for a pastor and his family to keep the standard very high...in dress and behavior. Yes, it's unfair, but so crucial. And yes, they'll get judged as self-righteous, but we carnal Christians need role models! Coming from a PK... Ha. I so enjoy your posts on modesty!
