It Happens To 50% Of Men - Can Start In The 30s, Becoming Very Noticeable By Their 60s

A FEW DAYS AGO, as I was sitting on the sofa, Jean walked up behind me, kissed me on the top of the head, and, in an almost panicky voice, said, "Oh my goodness, your little bald spot isn't so little anymore."  She always could combine grace with an equal amount of truth. I replied, "Well, I can do nothing about it." She said, "What about a comb-over?"

I AM THE FIRST ADMIT that back in my younger days, I "dabbled in" (Pun intended) hair coloring 😂. But now, as I look back and see all the challenges, pain, and suffering it took to get this "Crown", I have no desire to comb, paint, or fill it with plugs. I am certainly not saying there is anything wrong with those things. If they help you accomplish your mission, make you feel better, or give you confidence, go for it.

MOST SEE THIS "little bald spot" as something lost, but it symbolizes something gained. King Solomon (the wisest man ever) said grey hair (even with a little spot missing) was a "crown of glory" (Proverbs 16:21) and associated it with an age of wisdom and living a righteouss life (Proverbs 20:29).

WHILE WISDOM IS associated with gray hair, it's important to remember that wisdom is gained through experience, learning, and reflection, in essence, spending time with God (Proverbs 9:10), not solely through aging or hair color.

JESUS ASKED IN MATTHEW (5:15), "Why would you light a candle and put it under a basket?"  Although I don't look at my "little bald spot" as a badge of honor signifying what "I" have come through, I do see it as a crown of glory to what "God" has brought me through. And because of that, I have no intentions of hiding it under a comb-over.

Still savoring my last best bite, just doing with a little less vanity, a little less hair, a little bit of a sunburn, and with a crown!
