it’s only hair

with my recent triathlon, having raised over $1000 to shave my head into a mohawk, shave my legs, and color my remaining hair purple, I have had some interesting ideas.

When my mother had cancer and started chemo, she shaved her head, and I shaved mine too. Unfortunately, she ended up dying from that cancer, but from that, 3 months later, came my salvation. It was this thought that there is new life that is represented in the ritual of the regrowth of hair, especially after chemo.

So, I am waiting expectantly for God to use my purple mohawk experience and turn that into some form of new-ness and growth.

girls - change or keep looking

There is a girl I met recently that I like. Trouble is I don’t know if she likes me back. I can honestly say that there have only been 2 girls ever that I think were absolutely wonderful. But, the first one I let get away because I wasn’t ready to change. Had I changed, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Thus far, not too bad.

But, after meeting this new gal, and not wooing her as I had always thought I would has led me to think that I must not be very attractive of a person for her. I am not talking completely about vanity. But, I mean an attractive spirit, an air of confidence and a sense of purpose. I took a self survey, prayed about it, and sure enough…. I think that I was coming up short.

I wouldn’t have thought twice about this except this gal, even if she isn’t the “one”, I do think she is like the one that will someday come across my path. But, if she doesn’t find me attractive, then most likely, the “one” won’t either. Time to change.
