Long Hair


A young boy had just gotten his driver's permit and 
inquired of his father, an evangelist, if they could 
discuss his use of the car. His father took him into 
his 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, 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 
settle for the offer, and they agreed on it.

After about six weeks, the boy came back and again 
asked his father about using 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 have 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 gotten 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 Samson 
had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses 
had long hair and there's even a strong argument that 
Jesus had long hair.

His father replied, "You're right, son. Did you also 
notice that they all walked everywhere they went?"
