Taking out the car
Posted: Tue Mar 14, 2006 8:14 pm
A young boy had just gotten his driver's permit and inquired of his
father, an evangelist minister, 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 in to 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 minister father replied, "Did you also notice that they all walked everywhere they went?"
