SHOWER CAP IN A BOX
fits one head.

Some of those warning labels conjure up some humorous images. Like the last one--can you imagine trying to fit a shower cap onto 2 heads at once? Ridiculous, huh?

Almost as ridiculous as taking the body of Christ and suggesting it has more than one head. There is one body(Eph4:4), and it has only one head. Fortunately, that head is no earthly person or group of people. It is none other than the Son of God himself.

"And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence."(Colossians1:18)

This day, give preeminence and praise to the One who is our head!
