“You need a haircut.” My wife reminded me last week, as I had been showing some shabby edges. The last time I got my hair cut–in April, just before Austin’s confirmation on the 5th–I got a flat top. It lasted over 3 months! Not bad. Over 15 people did not like the flat top. Two people loved it. Since this is America, the majority won. I got a “regular number 2 men’s cut.” The guy who cut my hair did a pretty good job. And we went to Scott’s Barber Shop, Kellogg and Orangethorpe, which is only a third of the price of Fantastic Sams.
Austin and Andrew also got their hairs cut. They both had the female barber, who cut both of their heads of hair a little too short for their taste. But hair grows back. In a couple weeks their skin will stop showing through the hair. The mom is not real pleased. She might send us back to Fantastic Sams next time.
When we get our hair cut, we choose a style that generally shows our personality. Mine probably reveals a conservative outlook. Remember Dan Tomczyk? His hair always showed a free spirit. Becker’s hair covered a head full of book learning. Bode’s hair? Michigan roots.
Clothes also reveal something about ourselves or send a message. Same thing with tattoos and pierced things. What message do you want to send? What message are you sending? I won’t impress a dress code on anybody, but ask you to consider, in all things, how can we bring glory to God? Take good care of our bodies, show respect for those around us, our employers, customers, and friends.
