- Joel,
- Wear your hair the way you want. God cares about how you adorn your
- soul, not your head. If some people have a problem with this, that's a hurdle
- THEY need to cross. Having had this same problem when I was in my teens, I
- speak from experience. I will point out to you the same thing I pointed out
- to a couple of congregations/preachers as I left their presence.
- God told us to not judge. Jesus told us to love one another.
- Follow the commandment(s) and you will be happy. If how you
- wear your hair or how you dress for church really makes a
- difference, that is between you and God. No one else. (period)
-
- The secret, Joel, is to present your point in a loving manner. Don't
- attack them with it. (As soon as I have retired from the military reserve,
- I intend on growing my beard back and my hair longer.) Good luck, Joel.
-
- May the Lord Bless you and Keep you. Jerry
