before and after photos

THE BEFORE PIC:




(of course, in that photo you can't see the damage done by the trich...

maybe i'll post a pic of it one day, but not today....)

anyways...

a couple of messy hours and a shower later...

THE AFTER PIC:



who knew slick-bic'n it could bring about such an obvious personality change?!


***

oh, ok, what the heck... i'll show you the reason for this bald season... what was hidden under my cap at church today....

THE 'WHY' PIC:




***

just had to add... it's amazing how opinionated a person can be over another person's hairdo.... i've had so many compliments on how good the short hair looked, how much better than the dreads... but few seemed to realize that i still would prefer to have my dreads, and that there is a not-so-great reason for the haircut so i wasn't exactly stoked about it... its just lovely when you get the impression (from SOME people) that they are SO GLAD you've 'finally come around' and cut off 'those horrid dreads'... like it's a good thing. *sighs*

it's amazing how well-meaningly people can shove their foot down their throat.... i just have to shake my head sometimes...

and now i wonder how many negative reports i'm going to hear now that i'm b-b-b-bald.... why i didn't leave it, it looked so nice... like now i've regressed into 'freakville' again, and my stay in 'normaltown' was all too brief.... *double sighs*

    It's just hair, it will grow back. You are still with us, that's what matters.

    frankly, I jealous. There have been several times in my life when I wanted to shave my head, but, alas... I dont have that nice shape that you do, and I just look *bizarre*. You darling, look exellent with a shaved head, and I envy you that.

    Wow! What a change! Well, if anyone can pull of all hairstyles...or lack of ;) its you! I loved the dreads & I loved the short! The bald...well, its pretty bold!! And I'm sure you'll rock that one too!
    So cover it with fancy hats, scarves, bandanas or let it shine!!! You're B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!!!!!
    Why? You may ask?
    Because you are made in His image...you are a mirror that reflects the Son & all of His glory!
    He made you...YOU!
    And that's beautiful!!!

    I just thought the short hair was a nice change...I thought the dreads suited you too! Trust me...I've spent many a night thinking about wacking my hair off too...I've done it numerous times as well. Change is good! And being bald...well like you said, you did it for a reason...you'll get your dreads back someday!

    I'm a little late here, but just wanted to say that you are beautiful, inside and out! Alot of times I think we hide behind our hair, makeup, clothing, etc. You are very brave and I agree with Ruth; if anyone can pull it off, you can!

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
