A teenage boy had just passed his
driving test
and inquired
of his father
as
to when they
could discuss
his use of the
car.
His
father
said he'd make
a deal with
his son, "You
bring your
grades up
from
a C to a B
average, study
your Bible a
little and get
your haircut.
Then we'll talk about the car."
The boy thought about that for a
moment,
decided he'd
settle for the
offer
and they agreed on it.
After about six weeks his
father said,
"Son, you've
brought your
grades
up
and I've observed that you
have been
studying your
Bible, but I'm
disappointed
you haven't
had your hair
cut."
The
boy 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
strong
evidence
that
Jesus had long
hair."
Dad:
"Yeah,
did you also
notice they
walked
everywhere
they went?
