She had cancer. Lost all her hair in radiation Treatments. Her cancer was in remission and her hair was just growing back. I didn't know that. Because I didn't stop to think. And I cried.

Whats the point?
Yesterday, my wife cut her hair. For the first time since she came to the Lord. She doesn't (nor do I) condemn those who cut their hair. It has been her choice to maintain the Pentecostal tradition (and thats all it is) of not cutting her hair. But yesterday, she cut her hair. Because she has cancer and her hair is coming out. She cried. And so did I.

Whats my point...
Nothing. Except to say, STOP AND THINK.

man i dont know what to say. we are so quick to judge and expect everyone to be just like us, and sometimes forget that there may be reasons or circumstances for what is going on in someones life.

i know this was not an easy story to tell, but than you so much for the sobering thoughts.

you and your wife are in my prayers. God bless.
