After some pretty big thinking I went and got my hair trimmed. I had a ton of damage. I called up the salon and next think I knew I was in the chair. I kinda expected to feel like I was doing something wrong. Nope,I felt freed from a bondage. Having all that hair has never bothered me, matter fact I'm fairly vain about my hair. I didn't cut any length off, maybe an inch of the ends. I had the rest layered. So I look like I have the same amount of hair I always had. So it isn't that I was suffering and carrying the yoke of all this hair,although some ladies are. I was in bondage to the idea. Ruth Reider Harvy will get in your brain and convince you of all sortsa kooky unbiblical stuff. What if I cut it and our business fails, will the two be related? This idea that I could somehow sway God,or coerce him into loving me more or giving me more favor. I know it sounds nuts..but spend some time in the UPC and you'll get some ideas too. So while I was having my hair cut the girl that was cutting it was telling me all about her church and how great it is. I'm kinda impressed because young,married people with no children are the hardest demographic to get into church. So she told me the name of the church and its a Church of God. Hubby and I have a list of churches we want to check out and hers is top of the list. How coincidental huh? We're going to go visit Sunday. Ya know, I am positive that I left that place with less hair but with the same Holy Ghost I got there with. Go figure
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light Matthew 11:30

I've never been in a UPC, but just by reading I can "feel" the law and bondage people may be walking in. Wow.
ReplyDeleteat first it doesnt feel like bondage because there is such liberty in worship and you really feel like you just want to please God. The bondage part is slow and subtle.
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteSo your organized "religion" prohibits: short hair, pants on women, make-up, and what else is wrong? I'm interested in finding out because I have only heard of this through other sources but never really met a person who broke free from it.
