[Faith-talk] hair, modesty and Christian living

[Joshua Lester]

Actually:
you know that in 1 Corinthians 11, that it says that your hair is your
crowning glory.
The apostle Paul taught this.
BTW, Crystal's hair was as long as always, in 2008, when we heard her
at the Grand Ole Opry.
Blessings, Joshua
