Long Hair
A young boy had just got his driver's permit and inquired of
his father, an evangelist, if they could discuss the use of the
car. His father took him to the study and said to the boy,
"I'll make a deal with you, son. You bring your grades up
from a C to a B-average,study your Bible a little, and get your
hair cut and we'll talk about the car."
Well, the boy thought about that for a moment and decided that
he'd best settle for the offer, and they agreed.
After about six weeks the boy came back and again asked his
father about the car. Again they went to the study where his
father said, "Son, I've been real proud of you. You've
brought your grades up, and I've observed that you've been
studying your Bible and participating a lot more in the Bible
study class on Sunday morning. But I'm real disappointed since
you haven't got your hair cut."
The young man paused a moment and then said, "You know,
Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've noticed in my
studies of the Bible that Sampson had long hair, Moses had long
hair, John the Baptist had long hair, and there's even strong
argument that Jesus Himself had long hair."
To which his father replied, "You're right, son. Did you
also notice that they all WALKED everywhere they went?
