In the most recent issue of Rockabilly Magazine there was a cartoon called "The Higher the Hair, the Closer To God". This is the cartoon. The artist's name is Nik Scarlett and her web site is www.scarlett-ink.com
In light of some of the more serious and lengthy discussions we have been having lately on the T-Shirt post, and lack of friendships most Christians have with non-Christians in the "The Longer We are Christians" post - I thought this would be a more light and fun post as I share this newly learned theological insight.
It also may explain the spiritual reasons why I am uncontrollably drawn to having a pompadour hair cut. Although, mine is a rockabilly pompadour it does also have a slight twist of Vanilla Ice circa 1990 and shades of Johnny Bravo in it. Seeing this cartoon, I now can justify with spiritual reasons for why I have my hair the way I do.
The implications of learning about this hair and God relationships are fairly important. Perhaps if you shave your head or have short hair, you need to seriously reconsider your hair cut. If you truly want to be getting closer to God as this cartoonist suggests, you may need to change your style to a nice rockabilly high pompadour. If you are feeling distant from God lately, it might be because of your short haircut or shaved head. Or if you are currently confused about His will for your life or you are in the middle of making a big decision about a career change or possibly even asking someone to marry you, you may want to wait until you grow out your hair into a nice and tall pompadour. When your hair is taller, you then will have special extended prayer antennas and you will be more in tune to God's voice than ever before. You may have such incredible spiritual breakthroughs, all from a hair cut.
How this high hair theological theory to being closer to God impacts females and female hair cuts, I don't know. Perhaps it is time for a beehive hairstyle revival. Or the classic hair in a bun on top will suffice. Or it could be female hair styles are of an entirely different covenantal agreement and worship approach with God. I don't know. But, that is something someone else will have to research and find out. Rockabilly Magazine didn't explain that one. Maybe in a future issue they will.
