GOOD ANSWER

One Sunday morning an old cowboy entered a church
 just before services were to begin. Although the old man
 and his clothes were spotlessly clean, he wore jeans,
a denim shirt and boots that were very worn and ragged.
 In his hand he carried a worn out old hat
 and an equally worn out bible.

The church he entered was in a very upscale and
exclusive part of the city. It was the largest and most
beautiful church the old cowboy had ever seen.
The people of the congregation were all dressed with
expensive clothes and accessories. As the cowboy took
 a seat, the others moved away from him. No one greeted,
spoke to, or welcomed him. They were all appalled
at his appearance and did not attempt to hide it.

The preacher gave a long sermon about Hellfire
 and brimstone and astern lecture on how much
money the church needed to do God's work.

As the old cowboy was leaving the church,
the preacher approached him and asked the cowboy
to do him a favor. "Before you come back in here again,
 have a talk with God and ask him what He thinks
would be appropriate attire for worship."

The old cowboy assured the preacher he would.
The next Sunday, he showed back up for the services
wearing the same ragged jeans, shirt, boots, and hat.
 Once again he was completely shunned and ignored.

The preacher approached the man and said,
"I thought I asked you to speak to God
before you came back to our church."

"I did," replied the old cowboy.

"If you spoke to God, what did he tell you the
 proper attire should be for worshiping in here?"
asked the preacher.

"Well, sir, God told me that He didn't have a clue
what I should wear. He says He's never been here before."
