I have to agree with many of the other bros here Marsh. The Lord has far more to worry with mankind than hair. You only have to look at the awesome world around us to know that God loves variety. Besides, if he wanted everyone to have hair he wouldn't have created MPB

I don't think God would care if you had hair or not.

I would like to point out for those who don't know this, I spent last weekend with Marshall in Seattle. Most of my family was with me, and we had a good time hanging out together. Plus, we got to see Ironman 2 together <G>.

Plus, Bubba is one of the people, I call, "My Bald Band of Brothers", that convinced me that I need to talk to "Becky" about this. I am supposed to get together today with her. But there is a possibility that someone else is going to be there at the same time. So if someone else is there, then the "talk" will wait until later! -

Well guys, I finally talked to "Becky" today. I had prepared what I wanted to say by writing it out and reading it to her, so I could stay on the subject. So when I went over to meet her to go out to dinner, I read it to her before we left.
I told her in a very calm manner but to the point. I let her know that my stepmom already feels that I honor her by my actions. I told "Becky" that if God truly told me to grow the hair back, that I would. I even gave an example of where God was dealing with me on a way more major issue and where I changed as a result.
But more importantly, I stated that I felt that she was manipulating me to grow my hair back by using my love for my stepmother to influence me to do it. "Becky" in the past had admitted to me that she has manipulated people to get her way. I told her that friends don't manipulate friends. I told her that the case is closed on this subject, never to be mentioned again.
As a result, she did not argue with any of the things I had stated. Bascially admitting by her silence that what I said was true.
When I was through, she told me that God had dealt with her after that conversation about her trying to manipulating me. She then said that God let her know that she was very lucky to have me as a friend. She was crying when she said that. So it was good to see that she was remorseful. She also said that she will not do that again.
So I was say it was a good growing experience for the both of us. For me, I really hate confrontation. I have often been the people pleaser and often felt that if someone saw something that they felt needed to be changed in me then I probably needed to do it or that I was bad and that they were right. But I have personally grown where I can see through all the bull$*&t and know that I can be right and not be sorry for it. I also see that sometimes confrontation is necessary and boundaries are a great thing. Plus, it was good to see "Becky" called on her $h*t. So there you have it! Thanks for all the feedback and encouragement!
I should also add, I will probably never grow my head hair back again. God will truly have to shake my world to do it.....without "Becky's" or anyone else's influence! -

Good job standing your ground and making your feelings known in a calm, rational way.

See, the real issue is that Becky would be more turned on by Marsh and really want to jump his bones if he had hair.

Truly scary thought! I am sure that after my discussion about her, that most here would not blame me for being repulsed!

Give the girl a break Marsh, she seems truly remorseful.At least she shed a tear.

Magoo, I think that what Marsh was getting at was the idea of his growing hair back and/or his turning her on. I know from a conversation that I had with him in person that he is glad that she was remorseful. Hope this helps to possible clarify what I believe he was getting at.
