Oh, that's awesome. We could 
do the headdress one now. The head covering? I do think 
it's a light of nature question. Not light of nature, like he 
does talk about, like, I think it's an anti-cross-dressing. 
Man be man, dude be dude. I think it has to ultimately 
do with male headship in the life of the church. And I think 
that, you know, when you look at Paul's admonition in 1 Timothy 
2, when he talks about women and their hair, it seems moot 
if they're wearing hats in church worship. So, I don't, and the 
absence of a command in 1 Corinthians 11 to wear a hat. you're not 
going to find it. It's almost a sacrament among 
some, you know, my wife now covers and we're in a holy walk. So, 
there's a revival of it. You see revivals of it every 
so often. I think there is one presently 
where covering is, you know, the absolute mark of submission 
on the part of a woman. I think Paul's point in the reference 
to the angels is that when the angels look at a church on a 
Sunday, it's not, does Sister Susie have a hat on? It's, is 
there a man in the pulpit? Is there a man preaching and 
prophesying and preaching and praying in the public place? Women aren't supposed to be in 
the public place preaching or teaching. And then I think the 
hats or hair is an illustration of that point. I don't think 
it is a mandate that you must cover. For sure. For sure. And people disagree and that's 
fine. If a woman wants to wear a hat, 
that's fine. I just, I don't think there's 
religious significance in it. It's like Paul in circumcision. If you're a Jew and you want 
to get circumcised because it's in your DNA or your blood or 
it's your culture, go ahead. But don't think there's religion 
in it. Don't think it commends you to God. I would say the same. If Sister Susie wants to wear 
a hat to church, sure. But that's not a more holy walk. But hats were never an old covenant 
thing, right? Unlike circumcision.
