Goodness, I had not particularly noticed that Mikah’s hair was long, just that you have 3 beautiful kids

In my opinion, there is no tie between your hair-style/length and being a Christian. Christianity is a religion that spans cultures and ages. There is such a wide variation in what is custom in different cultures (and at different times) with respect to self-adornment and food habits.

That being said, I am hugely respectful of people interpreting the way they live their lives in a cultural context. But if you had to explain your faith to someone, hair would not come into play, would it?

I think you can find someone to disagree with you/me/us about everything…I have 2 requirements of my kids in regards to their hair: 1) Clean, 2) Neat. The rest, is gravy!! haha!! Funny how in those older pics of Jesus his hair quite long. Ever noticed that? If you do a historical study of paintings of Jesus his hairstyle changes quite a bit! Strange…
You have a nice day!! Love ya! Karen

wardeh, you are very gracious in your post, and im glad you and jeff are not swayed by others views about something this superficial!

i actually wish my boys would agree to a little length instead of crew cuts most of the time, but they are old enough at 15 and 17 to choose for themselves (within reason).

but i have to tell you i love your haircut! it is so cute. i lopped off 13 inches 18 months ago and havent had a haircut since. so im ready to go above my shoulders soon. no one really noticed too much with me either because my hair is usually all wadded up in a knot at the back of my head.

I think you have stated your feelings and opinions on Mikah’s hair very clearly and well. You are showing kindness and discernment about all of this. Well done, Wardeh!
