Bad Hair Decade

Dilemma... I can't find a decent hairdresser. I've sisters with luxurious locks... They're younger... My hair was never as thick, or as glorious as theirs. As a newborn, our brunette sis came home with dark curly ringlets all over her head. A year later, our blonde sis came home without any hair at all...so light she looked as though... By the time they were in school, I did a Toni permanent on myself. It was cute. A teenager has to have the right hair! Much older, on my own, I had expert help. Lucky me, in L.A., I went to Vidal Sassoon's. At home in the Midwest, I found a just-right beautician. Then I moved miles away. Before we parted, she wrote out the details of my cut and color.

You cannot raise a man up by calling him down. ~  William J. H. Boetcker God made man to go by motives, and he will not go without them, any more than a boat without steam or a balloon without gas.   ~ Henry Ward Beecher Defining SCIENCE Defining EVOLUTION Definition CREATIONISM Let's look at the motives for each of these speakers. One seems to propose only a single belief is correct. The opposite proposal seems to include all viewpoints in order to find where connecting points meet. Isn't the broadest inclusion more pro-survival? Can't identifying more and more connecting points be a good thing? " But the fruit  of the Spirit is love,  joy, peace,  forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,   gentleness and self-control.  Against such things there is no law."   Galatians 5: 22-23
