Well, what do you know….for the past two days I have completely forgotten to cover my head while in prayer! It was not until tonight that it dawned on me- my head is bare, and I’m praying! And while I’m confessing, I’ll admit that I may have said a few bad words today, and that I have complained about a few people (and the freezing rain alert!) as well. I’ll try harder in the next few days, that’s for certain.
This makes me think a bit, though: why do we even have rules from the Bible, and why bother following them? This could be a very long answer, one I’m sure to talk about in the future, so I’ll try to be succinct here. One of the most important answers is respect. Yeah, R-E-S-P-E-C-T kind of respect. Respect for God- He made this earth, He rules over us, let’s follow His rules! Respect for others-really, this one was learned in elementary school. Don’t do things to others that you wouldn’t want them to do to you. And finally, respect for yourself. Your body is not technically yours, it belongs to God, so treat it nicely! Keep yourself healthy, dress respectfully, and be happy!
