RED

Our neighbor lady called yesterday and offered us some used clothing. We were very thankful and appreciated every piece. But this kind exchange has lead me to having an interesting thought. Our neighboors are mennonite(strict) and made the comment to our wife that a friend of theirs gave them some clothing they had outgrown and being the nice lady my neighbor is she accepted but wasn't too into the clothing cause it wasn't mennonite clothing.

When she called my wife she offered the clothing by saying, "some of the clothing is RED, and our people do not wear RED. But I think you do wear RED so maybe you would be interested." We were, and I am not telling this story to belittle my neighbor lady in any way. I love her and her husband they are the best neighbors you could ask for!

But that exchange got me to thinking. So mennonites do not wear RED. Hmmmm. I guess she is right. I talked with Shelly about this and she reminded me that many years ago no one that went to church wore RED. Red was the sign of loose women and was worldy.

That amused me. Cause I belive the cool worldly color of today is BLACK. the Goths wear black, Sexy women wear black to nightclubs, movie stars are always wearing black, Rappers drive black SUV's (with tinted windows), etc.

I am thinking about pointing this out to my neighbors to let them know that perhaps they need to change their color scheme because without knowing it they have joined the loose worldly people.

Just a thought.
