Faith Venture

I haven’t seen so many dark suits, white shirts and ties since the last funeral I attended. I’m at a trade fair in Germany. the Europeans typically dress very conservatively. My boss told one guy, “It’s in Gary’s contract that he doesn’t wear ties.” <sigh>

Then this morning at breakfast I listened to a bunch of Americans dressed in their funeral suits as they talked about the beer garden last night. I thought, “The only time Jesus talked about appearance such as that was to talk about those who thought too well of themselves–remember the ‘cup that’s clean on the outside and dirty on the inside’ phrase?”

(I’m writing this at 9 am my time, 3 am for those of you in the eastern US.) When you get up to go to work or whatever. How are you dressed. Are you a slob on both the inside and outside? Or is your outside appearance masking a darkness inside?

Me? Another day with no tie 😉  But Lord knows, I’m no saint, either.
