Sharp appearances

Private schools are on holidays at the moment and my dry cleaner is the loser. At private schools, the teachers dress well, and whenever I'm at a lunchtime group or a chapel service amongst them to feel like i need to step up my wardrobe.

I don't arrive wearing a tuxedo, but i do wear the equivalent of smart causal - good slacks (yes, i did just use the word slacks) and a crisp shirt.

For a youth minister this should be a big deal. Often i don't look like the stereotypical youth minister. They are sloppy and unkempt... and i will be like them, once again, for the next three weeks.

Until school goes back my dry cleaner will lose business. I hope he doesn't have to live off food stamps or dumpster dive.
