Where Is Corinthians? New testament? I'll look up this scripture. But I feel
I'll need to read all chapter 11 then. If not, scripture references are
often taken out of context.
This is basic. I know Jesus had 12 disciples. Was Paul one of them? I know
Peter was one.

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
