Hello~
Thank you for the opportunity to join this board!
My name is Sandi ~ I've been helpmeet to my husband Bill for 13 yrs. We homeschool our children in western NC. Our son is 9 and our daughters are 8 & 7.
I was saved in my early 20's and have been growing ever since. Just recently I was studying 1 Cor 11 and read through those verses with 'new' eyes. I've read the passages regarding the head covering over and over and never really saw them. I'm not sure how to explain it. I've been dressing modestly for a few years now, again after seeing the Truth about modesty with new eyes.
I asked my husband for permission to really search and study the truth in this matter as it is completely foreign to both of us. In all our time, the head covering has always been explained away.
I look forward to meeting you all and to learning and sharing along my journey.
In Him, Sandi

Welcome, Sandi, and God bless you. If you or Bill have questions, please don't hesitate to ask, we would love to help. Also, there are some good posts in the Head Covering Reflections area. May the Lord bless you in your study.
Bro. Ben

Hi Sandi, I am a new member here too. I just recently seriously began to study 1 Cor 11 also. Honestly, I never knew there were Christian women who covered. Then I learned about the Mennonites and just thought it was a denominational thing. Recently, after being in the homeschool "community" for a few years, I realized that it was not denominational and some Christian ladies do follow this scripture. My dh and I have had it "explained" away to us also. Anyway , I look forward to getting to know you. Rita
