Brothers, the first time a woman took the lead over a man was in the Garden 
of Eden.  It was a disaster then and it will always be something that is 
not according to Gods authority structure.  It also breaks the chain of 
spiritual command, which is God - man - woman - children.

May, The LORD bless you, and keep you: The LORD make his face shine upon 
you, and be gracious unto you:
The LORD lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.  Numbers 
6:24-26

Mark 16:5-8 5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting
on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were 
affrighted
 6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth,
which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where
they laid him. 7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he 
goeth
before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. 8 And
they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and
were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
Go Girls, Preach to those holy apostles, who were called by Christ,  who 
are
hiding in fear.  You carry to them the gospel message of the resurrection.
Is this not calling or appointing or commissioning them to take a message?
Or was the Angel not really wanting them to carry this
important message which is the Gospel message that the King is risen.

I am sure this will upset most of us.  It upsets me,  but it shows how 
frail
us men who are called are.

To make it worse consider this passage.

Numbers 22:28 28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said 
unto
Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three
times?  And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would
there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee. 30 And the ass
said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever 
since
I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said,
Nay.

Grace, Joy, and Peace be yours;
 Clint
