John looked up from reading the Sunday bulletin. “Who has to take off his hat?”
“That young man.” She pointed to the other side of the church. “He’s up there near the front.”
“Henry? That’s not a hat, he’s just changed his hair color again.” John shook his head. “I swear that lad changes the color more than I change my socks.”
Martha sighed. “You need new glasses. I don’t mean Henry but to the left of him.”
“Oh, the one with the Yankees cap?”

In our worship today let us open our hearts to Jesus, asking him to help us to be clean and pure within.
Invitation to Confession:
Jesus, we are not always fully aware of our inner selves.
Lord, have mercy.Jesus, sometimes we appear better on the outside than we are inside.
Christ, have mercy.Jesus, help us to become the same inside as outside.
Lord, have mercy.

God is passionate for you. His breathing is labored. He loves you.
There is a book in the Old Testament that is full of heavy breathing. It is titled, "Song of Solomon," or "The Song of Songs." And it deals forthrightly with sexual passion, courtship, and matrimony.
