Topless Woman Clothed in Fine Linen

I have been reading some advice on how to write a blog.  And even though I am not really interested in reading writings about writing itself, I suppose it is good advice.  The one piece that I am going to try first is writing something every day.  I may not post something everyday, but I am going to try to write something every day.

So here are some of my thoughts
Recently there was a woman who decided to walk around topless in New York City, in Union Square.  True story! It was published on MSN's front page.  She did it in order to prove in New York City that it wasn't illegal.  Couldn't she have just stood in the street and held up a sign?   The only thing that woman proved was she has no shame!  She did get rewarded with attention, and that was probably what she was after.  If she walked around topless in my town, I hope she would be arrested.  I probably sound like a judgmental church lady.  This isn't a woman who is being exploited as a sex slave, or not seeing any way out using her God given body and sexuality to make money. She is doing this of her own volition to prove that it's not "illegal".
Like the sinner that I was and still am without the imputed righteousness of Christ: I hope she hears the truth about Jesus, feels the weight of her sin, sees her desperate condition, runs to Jesus in repentance and faith and is saved from hell.  Then I hope she puts a shirt on. Better yet, I hope that Jesus gives her fine linen.

Revelation 19

Celebration in Heaven
    1 After this I heard something like the loud voice of a vast multitude in heaven, saying:
   Hallelujah!
Salvation, glory, and power belong to our God,
2 because His judgments are true and righteous,
because He has judged the notorious prostitute
who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality;
and He has avenged the blood of His slaves
that was on her hands.
   3 A second time they said:
   Hallelujah!
Her smoke ascends forever and ever!
   4 Then the 24 elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who is seated on the throne, saying:
   Amen! Hallelujah!
   5 A voice came from the throne, saying:
   Praise our God,
all His slaves, who fear Him,
both small and great!
Marriage of the Lamb Announced
    6 Then I heard something like the voice of a vast multitude, like the sound of cascading waters, and like the rumbling of loud thunder, saying:
   Hallelujah, because our Lord God, the Almighty,
has begun to reign!
7 Let us be glad, rejoice, and give Him glory,
because the marriage of the Lamb has come,
and His wife has prepared herself.
8 She was given fine linen to wear, bright and pure.
   For the fine linen represents the righteous acts of the saints.
