@Rita @Josho I think that guys who get headshaves - which are very popular and have their definite advantages in hot weather - should consider ear studs also. Seriously, for a guy, a headshave and small rugged earrings make a very proper and appropriate combination, in my humble view.

You've never done the headshave though?

@Rita More likely the guys will probably want complete headshaves...

@OzSpen So did you ever meet the sports guy with the tattoos that you posted photos of? the John 3.16 one was particularly impressive.

I thought some of Candidus's comments were very thoughtful. He has contributed with analysis to the discussion and your own posts are appreciated also. A design I got on my arm faded. Clearly some topics will evoke all sorts of views from various directions.

@Rita After WW1, President Warren Harding kept talking about "normalcy"... I wonder if things will ever really go back to the way they were before, though... (Human nature of bureaucrats to retain the powers they have gained...)

@Nancy: Well, the sidecuts and napeshaves - high trims over the ears and neck - have in any case been seemingly getting very popular; I wonder if ppl will go for them again in large numbers in the summer, or if never tried before, try them for the first time.

Hi @Acolyte. The New Testament believer looks to the coming of the Lord ('till He come' 1 Cor. 11.26), while there may be the beginnings of partial - though not full - fullfiment of others Scriptures in the meantime; these are not particularly linked with the church. The truth of Father, Son...

@Heart2Soul The Lord indeed opens and closes doors (Revelation 3.7).

@Acolyte Seems like you had to wait a real long time for the experience until you finally felt "ready".

@Rita: Oh really? maybe so... Seems like ppl haven't been able to have their hair cut professionally lately; and since lately the high trims over the ear and neck/nape have been getting very popular lately, it would seem, I wondered if ppl will eventually take the opportunity to do it, after...

@Rita : Do you think that when all the distancing ends eventually it will prove to be the catalyst for a lot of people to go for a different - and maybe shorter - hairstyle? (Kind of like, one of the spin-offs from the restrictions and their eventual ending.)

@Renniks FYI...did you see some of the latest posts, above? probably more or less in line with recent comments which you made, anyway.

Thanks to all who voted so far in the poll! NB: If you have not yet voted in the poll, please vote now! :)

@Nancy I think when all this distancing is over, there will be long line-ups at many hairdressers working overtime to give ppl chops and side-cuts ready for the warm weather, after all the enforced scragginess lately...

@Candidus Sorry for apparently having repeated myself to you! What your paragraph here says contains searching questions; and in the end no one else can answer those questions for another. Years ago when, as the background, it wasn't done nearly as widely by men, and not much at all by women...

@Candidus Some good points there; your response is very thoughtful. Many Godly Christians would years ago have instinctively thought that, because many Christians don't get tattoos, they instinctively would be "against" them. Today there has been a sea-change - not necessarily good, bad or...

@Rita : good to know he is talking to various Christians on an ongoing basis; trusting that the influence of prayer and the Scriptures will draw him, by God's grace.

@Acolyte You said, back a bit: It's not really about feeling really good (though that too) but about the conviction that the message conveyed from Scripture is one that is blessed. In this way, a lot of Christians go boldly to the parlor thrilled that their earnestly desired inking perforations...

@Rita; Reminds me of the words from 'The King of love my Shepherd is': 'Perverse and foolish oft I strayed, But yet in love He sought me, And on His shoulder gently laid, And home rejoicing brought me.' I too can say that if the Lord had not reached out to me, drawn me, I would never have...
