I am going twigging this morning, which is a form of tree hunting. The Eichers are going way out somewhere to find a tree, and I am going with them. Likely to find a tree that is less full then what you find in the domesticated tree industry, but it will be ony $5 for the permit and Matthew will haul it back for us.

As for head covering, i have been challenged by the words if a friend. Do I really understand the issue? Do you really understand the issue? The Bible says that a woman’s hair is given to her for a covering, and that it is a shame for her to cut it short. I read it last night before going to bed, but felt like I should look it up in the Geneva Bible, because of the way it is worded, some of it could go either way.

1 Corinthians 11:15 “But if a woman have long hair, it is a praise unto her: for her hair is given her for a (1)covering”

In the Geneva notations, from 1, it says “To be a covering for her, and such as should procure another.” Dictionary.com indicates that Procure means: To get by special effort, To bring about,To obtain.

Verse 10 “(1)Therefore ought the woman to have (2)power on her head, because of the (3)Angels.”

The notations here are “(1)The conclusion: women must be covered, to show by this external sign their subjection. (2)A covering which is a token of subjection. (3)What meaneth, I do not yet understand.”

The Geneva notations may or may not be correct, but it is obvious that the 16th Century Bible Translators believed head-covering to be a sign of subjection. Whether by hair or by cloth, can you tell? Not to take lightly the fact that it says her hair is a covering that “should procure another” and “women must be covered“.
