Amen! We represent a risen king to all who enter the doors.

A few years ago, I was working on a wildfire in south Georgia. Years before, I remember being in that town with a friend and going to a (at least then) conservative Methodist church. With no reformed options, I decided to visit there on Sunday morning.

Well, I was wearing my required leather boots and nomex cargo-style fire pants. As I came in, I heard someone behind me say something to the effect that "she can't cause too much trouble, she's wearing a name tag." To my horror, I realized my entrance would be at the front of the sanctuary: conversations stopped, people turned around to stare. When the dance group came out, I gave up on the service and just sat there reading my Bible. I was so homesick for my church that morning!
