Sermon of the Day:
Friends, can I get your ear for a moment? Do you feel a longing in your heart to get your pretty on? Are you TIRED of wearing those same ol' evil clothes that try to TRAP you in the bonds of "so so"? Do you feel the stirring to revamp your style, but that stirrin' stops when it gets to your wallet? Can I get an AMEN?
Brothers and Sistahs (alright, mostly SISTAHS!), you can BREAK these ties that bind you! You can be RELEASED from the CHAINS of spending all your money on high priced clothes! The answer dear people is right in front of you. The truth has made itself known!! SOMEBODY! Help me! PLEASE! There's one word. One. Word. my dear friends you need to know!
THRIFTING!!!
Moral of the Sermon:
For just over $10, I felt like a million bucks!!! Now THAT'S just a DANG good return on investment!!!
Title Lyrics: Driving by Everything but the Girl
Amen! I'm with ya, sistah. I've been preaching about the Gospel of Thrift for years now.
