You plan to introduce BLUE? to that beautiful color scheme??? :shock:
Jesus replaces the old covenant and speaks to the believer the moral code of God by His Spirit directly to the heart. He is the eternal, everlasting revelation of God to mankind. In Him is both the knowledge of righteousness and the power to live right.

It's only the velcro that wears. I have the last two gloves and the fingers are perfect still.

You could have a local shoemaker repair them for little or nothing. I once combined two gloves to make one that way. They sell new velcro. A shoemaker may even have some on hand.
