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, study your Bible a little,
get your hair cut, then 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. But, did you also
notice that they all walked everywhere they went?"
