t-shirts to polos

once upon a time a young man lived and ministered in a place called the jesus house. in said house he had several closets. one of these closets contained a shelf upon which young man neatly (most of the time) folded and stacked his assortment of t-shirts. these t-shirts were a nice accompanyment to said youn man's normal attire of jeans, jeans, and cut-off jeans. on special occasions he doned a sport coat that correctly matched the jeans and t-shirts. (sure he was known to wear an occasional suit, but this is the t-shirt blog). the t-shirt normally proclaimed special days, events, and other assorted universal spiritual truths; i.e. sonshine music festival, muster weekend, conglomerate weekend, adamsfishodor reunion tour (four of them!), french lick retreat, and many other too numerous to remember. for cold weather, the t-shirts were covered by sweatshirts proclaiming some of the same messages but also announcing the various colleges and universities the young man was known to visit for the purpose of speaking or performing a concert. (the young man learned that in addition to a love offering, a free meal and place to sleep most campus ministires were happy to include a school sweatshirt as part of the honorium so it became part of the contract!)

fast forward several years and young man, now older, still has a few t-shirts but now finds that the closet includes many polo shirts. most with addornment of various churches, ministries, schools and/or retreats. there was a time when said young man would not have worn these polos. has the world gotten fancier or has the young man, now older, moved into a new life stage. admittedly, the t-shirts do not look as nice. they fit tighter around the middle! o from what hights the mighty have fallen!
