Anyways, I ordered some from garlandsofgrace.com because they have really pretty ones that are convertible to headbands, so we'll see.

Headcovering?
So, I have been studying the biblical headcovering (as mentioned in 1 cor 11) for a while now. I even covered... for about a week, a few months ago. Then I got lazy and quit doing it. I don't know anyone who covers... no one at our church does, nor any church I have ever been to, for that matter. The reason I started studying it was because I knew the Amish covered, and I have always been very intrigued by their lifestyle & dress... and knew their had to be a reason they did it. Then I read this book (which you can download for free) and was pretty convinced. Michael is neutral on the subject... so I don't know. Its confusing, but I think I'm just making it confusing because I don't want to do it, but feel like I should be... you know :-/. If for no other reason, I like it as a reminder that my husband is the head of me (and thus a reminder of my submission to him, which is hard to remember sometimes...) & God has put me under his protection. The scripture says the glory of man is the woman and the man is the glory of Christ... man should cover his glory to give full glory to Christ. And, I see "hair is given for her as a covering" but earlier in the passage it says "it is a shame for a man to pray with his head covered"... so a man should make sure he has no hair covering his head? Not unless it means an actual covering/veil... or some people argue long hair. It is also unsettling how it was a universal practice until recent decades. hmm...
