The Glory of God and the Glory of Man


It’s amazing how a haircut can change the attitude of a person, or of a dog. You feel better about yourself, your spirit is lifted, and it makes you frisky. Last weekend my daughter and son-in-law came for a visit and while they were here I gave Leslie a haircut, going from a shoulder-length hairstyle to a short-pixie cut. After an evening of putting up with Leslie’s sparing quips and comebacks Tim said, “Can you put it [hair] back on?” There are more than a few interpretations of Paul’s teaching on hair and whether or not his teaching was for a cultural situation (1 Cor 11:6-15). However, I find it interesting that hair plays such a role, not only in our physical being, but in our spiritual being…hair can be our glory or our disgrace.
