Pastor says no to weaves in Church...

yeah they look at me crazy when I go there because I dress up to walk out to the mailbox so you know I don't change that for church lol. But hub had to prepare me for that one. When he first went to one of 'my churches' I was trying to dress him up and he didn't get it because he wasn't used to that. My folks will give you the side eye in jeans at church.

MIL's church will let you in if you're dressed up, but I guess it's like any church where you come as you are, but they expect you to fall in line if you become a member. Like my sister's church where the pastor teaches that women should wear hats or covering on their heads. She doesn't like wearing hats but once she became a member, she goes along and wears her hats.

what changed your mind?

yes I go sometimes. Not often enough to say I go though. I go to church events at my family churchES.

and yes, church can be fun. I take my tambourine to our churches if it's a singing event. No need for that when I go to MIL's. They have guitarists at her church though, But nothing I want to beat a tambourine to.

eta: acoustic guitarists, big difference!

don't worry about classifying.

less money in the beauty stores, more money in the collection plate?
