What A Difference A Century Makes!
Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin Articles
This morning, I was surfing the Internet and came across this article, revealing an interesting piece of history regarding the wearing of swimsuits.
From the article comes this interesting observation by Susan Sessions Rugh:
“Susan Sessions Rugh, an American history professor at Brigham Young University, points out that as the years passed, swimsuits became smaller and smaller.”
“Earlier in the century, the sexes were often segregated on the beach and women were chaperoned, even though today their swimsuits look ridiculously modest,” Rugh said in an interview with Weather.com. “Swimsuits shrunk over the years as new stretch fabrics and manufacturing methods allowed a more form-fitting garment.”
As Ms. Rugh observes, “today their [women’s] swimsuits look ridiculously modest.”
Yes, and we need more women in our country today who are willing to “look ridiculously modest.”
To this author, the swimsuits that women wear today versus what they wore at the turn of the 20th century, is just one indicator among many of the steady decline of the moral mindset and values we once had in our country.
What a difference a century makes!
Dear reader, do you know that how we dress reflects the attitude of our heart?
Let’s think about it and respond according to God’s thinking on modesty.
