Cars


A young teen had just gotten his driver's permit and inquired of his father,
an evangelist, if they could discuss the use of the car.

His father took him into his study and said to the teen, "I'll make a deal
with you, son. You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your
Bible more, get your hair cut, and we'll talk about the car."

Well, the teen thought about it for a moment and decided he would settle for
the offer, and they agreed on it.

After about 6 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'm real proud
of you. You brought your grades up, and I've observed that you've been
studying your Bible more, 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. Did you also notice that they all
walked everywhere they went?"
