During the pandemic, church be looking very different. Churches have had to turn to digital platforms to continue the gathering of God's people.
While many have chosen to be more casual (even to the extent of wearing pyjamas) for a virtual church services, Dr. La Verne Ford Wimberly, an 82-year-old from Oklahoma, refused to succumb to being sloppy for the Lord.
Amazingly, Dr. Wimberly has gone over 52 weeks without repeating a single outfit. The retired principal even documented each look, complete with a wide array of dazzling hats, on her Facebook timeline.
“I thought, ‘Oh, my goodness, I can’t sit here looking slouchy in my robe,'" she told The Washington Post. "I didn’t want to sit around alone and feel sorry for myself, so I decided, ‘You know what? I’m going to dress up anyway.’"
She also said that she wanted to do it because it made be more conscious of the habit of giving it her best, as she has tried to over the last 82 years.
