Another day Quote by McMillian Moody

“the eyes of my generation, the only people who still wore suits on the weekend were ministers and undertakers. And let’s face it—when people equate going to church with going to a funeral, there’s a problem. Definitely not a good way to reach the young. But that’s a battle for another day.” quote by McMillian Moody
