I would love to swim with Joanna's boys, offering help with the dreadful French. Our Canadian border is as vulnerable as that of England, Ireland, Wales, and Scotland. Perhaps your boys could reciprocate by helping me in Nova Scotia?

My earlier picture of chamois loin cloths does not display so here it is again.
In these last days there's little regard for dress standards. To catch a fish or bring up a pearl is one thing. Flaunting oneself to encourage voluptuousness in others is something else. God is always consistent and His requirements are set out plainly regarding hairstyles, fabrics, bling and so on. And because He is consistent those standards never change.
Nahum 1:3-6 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth. The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein. Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.
Every effort to remind bathers what happens to people rejecting God's standard is important and always appreciated. As the days lengthen and the sun returns for summer, or when witnessing amongst ice-fields and snow, the trend for outré eyewear is becoming rather noticeable. Gendernonspecificity is a word dreamed up for just such a purpose. Satan knows than seemingly innocent frivolities are really a gateway to the most disgraceful antics imaginable. Bathing locations, particularly where after steaming oneself one is expected to jump in a frozen lake, are his prime targets.
I know you'll be revolted by the following designs which I'm sure you'd never wear but it's so important to glean where your witness is most urgently needed. Satan will be spiritually active wherever these "shades" are worn. Women's styles above, men's below and I have no idea about the middle but one of them's got lipstick.
When fashionistas repurpose garments which do have a valid use, such as the chamois loincloths more or less essential for pearling, that is where our witness is most urgent to save deluded wretches from the torments they deserve. God is explicit on this and God is always consistent. This is our encouragement to step out for Him to make His mercies known.
Micah 7:18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
