Modest is Hottest.

I don't really know what brought about the inspiration for this post. It could have been the random thoughts that go through my head at the grocery store, the never ending bamboozlement we get of half naked people on billboards and in magazines, or the fact that we stole Dana's towel tonight. I'm not really sure...

But for the sake of time and brain energy, 
we will just say it was all three.

I was inspired.

I was curious.

And so here I am.


Contemplating why our world has become so immodest. 

I literally would have been burned at the stake back in the 1800s if they had seen the nike shorts that I was wearing today.

I don't really think they are that short.

But there was a time when I would have been called a whore, or possibly even a witch,
(i used my black magic to invent the tank top. ahhh)
because of it.


So, the question is,
why HAS our world turned half-naked into beautiful?

When did it become ok to DAILY look like the version of Britney Spears on stage at Phillip's during her 2000 world tour where she is wearing a loincloth, and maybe some socks?, with a boa constrictor as her accessory.

WHEN?!?!

And it is getting worse and worse every generation.

Back in my day, 8th grade was the year when you started wearing miniskirts, makeup, and major attitude (all of which i really regret. raccoon makeup was so not in.)

And now its like 4th grade.
4th grade?!

I don't even know anymore.


How corrupt is our world.

So desperate.

So hurting.


And just think of how this is affecting relationships, teen pregnancies, guys!


Especially Christian guys.

If there are any of you out there that happen to stumble across this post,
know this,

I am truly sorry for the way that some girls dress.

TRULY sorry.

I know it is extra hard for you all when we wear the really short skirts, or really low shirts, or really small bikinis.
(who am I kidding, any bikini at all!)

And I honestly think that we (all us Christian girls) could be trying harder.

For serious.

But this culture has turned sexuality into something that is just becoming more and more accepted.

So what if I wear this shirt wear my boobs are falling out.
It's "just sexy".


Since when did being half-naked ever become a good thing?

There is a reason that Adam and Eve felt shame in the Garden of Eden when they realized they were naked.

So why are we moving backwards?


I just have one last thing to say....


To all you guys:
guard your eyes, guard your hearts.


To all you girls:
guard the girls, guard your dignity.



Forever His,
Rachel
