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 said, "I'll make a deal with you.
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 they went into the
study, where his father said, "Son, I've been
real proud. You brought your grades up, and I've
observed that you have been studying your Bible,
and participating a lot more in the Bible study
groups. 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."
To this his father replied, "Did you also
notice that they all walked everywhere they went?"
and inquired of his father,an evangelist, if they
could discuss his use of the car.
